I don't understand the outcry. He's a US citizen and a serving soldier. They had a responsibility to bring him home regardless of what he may or may not have done; you can't leave him to rot in the captivity of foreign forces because there's an accusation that he may not be a great soldier. As for trading prisoners from Guantanamo for him, isn't it better to do that than try to send more US soldiers into a theatre of battle they're in the process of leaving and risk losing more lives and/or prisoners with no guarantee of a successful extraction?
Forgetting that this is another example of Obama taking his power of executive order to the extreme (as he used to chastise Bush for doing), by not even notifying Congress of the exchange (which even Obama allies like that idiot Diane Feinstein have chastised him over), the facts are becoming clear that Bergdahl is very likely at best a deserter and could possibly be at worst, a traitor. I understand that as a civilized nation, we place a higher priority in individual lives then others do, and therefore are at an inherent disadvantage in any hostage negotiation, and furthermore I agree with the notion of getting this soldier back and then investigating any possible crimes. That IS NOT what this administration did. In their ignorance, they had Susan Rice ONCE AGAIN make a spectacle of herself on national tv in order to control the narrative that the mighty Obama administration was bringing home a war hero. Not only is this warped, but then Obama cronies have the balls to attempt to disparage members of the military that are trying to speak out and bring light to the facts of what actually occurred.
And honestly, there's only a need to swap out prisoners from Guantanamo because of a self-imposed deadline this administration put on itself so Obama can try to pad his legacy as the guy that closed Gitmo and pulled out of Afganistan, consequences and circumstances be damned.
