It's all about 'THE ENEMY'. The enemy defines a weak man or boy. Left dolts as well. When it's all about victory for you & yours, it's also about loss for them & theirs.
See how that divide & conquer thing works so well?
So many peeps here should be fast friends, but we wind up being virtual enemies due to being herded into choices not of our own making. Politics is a religion. It's our real life, TODAY Matrix.
Praise Reagan, praise Obama, enter the Left OR Right jihad.

What politics? It's core beliefs. That's all it is. It's instinctive, a primal force, needing no fearless leader to indoctrinate me into believing anything. The world I grew up in barely exists anymore, and I find that extremely sad. They say living well is the best revenge ... and they're right. I deny my family nothing, and that is my greatest joy.

Bergdahl disappeared on June 30, 2009. A Pentagon investigation concluded in 2010 that the evidence was "incontrovertible" that he walked away from his unit, said a former Pentagon official who has read it.
The military investigation was broader than a criminal inquiry, this official said, and it didn't formally accuse Bergdahl of desertion. In interviews as part of the probe, members of his unit portrayed him as a naive, "delusional" person who thought he could help the Afghan people by leaving his Army post, said the official, who was present for the interviews.
Disappearing from a military post in a war zone without authorization commonly results in one of two criminal charges in the Army: desertion or going absent without leave, or AWOL. Desertion is the more serious one, and usually arises in cases where an individual intends to remain away from the military or to “shirk important duty,” including a combat deployment such as Bergdahl’s.
In the early-morning hours of June 30th, according to soldiers in the unit, Bowe approached his team leader not long after he got off guard duty and asked his superior a simple question: If I were to leave the base, would it cause problems if I took my sensitive equipment?
Yes, his team leader responded – if you took your rifle and night-vision goggles, that would cause problems.
Bowe returned to his barracks, a roughly built bunker of plywood and sandbags. He gathered up water, a knife, his digital camera and his diary. Then he slipped off the outpost.

Jeeez, that's quite a reply. I don't know where it came from. But thanks for the sentiment and sincerity. As for this Brave New World you describe, I won't be around too long to live in it. My next phase is daytime naps, early bird dinners, and Skyping with my grandkids.

Fmr Soldier Who Served With Bergdahl: ‘He’s At Best a Deserter, And At Worst a Traitor’
Josh Korder: I could not go on if Bergdahl were hailed as a hero

Former Army soldier Josh Korder who served with Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl shed light on the circumstances surrounding Bergdahl’s capture Monday on CNN.
Korder confirmed to host Jake Tapper Bergdahl began to express anti-American sentiments while in Afghanistan. The late Michael Hastings reported Bergdahl emailed his parents prior to his capture conveying disgust for the U.S. military and their mission in the country.
Tapper asked Korder about the soldiers who died in search of Bergdahl and if it “made him angry” Bergdahl is now free.
“In a way it really does. It’s very frustrating to me to turn on the TV and to see Bergdahl’s family on the TV being shown to everyone and then these soldiers, although they had very beautiful and extravagant ceremonies after they died, were pretty much only recognized in the local news, local newspapers. They were never nationally televised for their sacrifices in the way that he is and he pretty much voluntarily walked away and in turn caused the actions that killed them,” Korder said.
The former Army soldier added he understands Bergdahl may need time to reacclimatize after his time in captivity, but he believes “[Bergdahl] needs to be questioned and basically tried, if necessary.”
“For leaving the observation post and for deserting the unit?” Tapper asked.
“Yes,” Korder replied. “Any of us would have died for him while he was with us and then for him to just leave us like that, it was a very big betrayal.”
Korder also expressed some reservation the military may retaliate against him and other soldiers who signed a nondisclosure agreement to not discuss anything pertaining to Bergdahl and his possible desertion. However, he said he did not believe he could “continue to go on” if the public considered Bergdahl a hero and did not know the truth.
“He’s, at best, a deserter an at worst, a traitor,” Korder said.

I read many stories on this. The sense I get is that a lot of men hated where they were and what they were doing, but stayed out of loyalty to the soldiers they served with. They feel a very PERSONAL betrayal.
You're too young to remember Vietnam but it was the same dynamic. Which probably means it's a shitty pointless war. THANKS! GWB for putting us there! And THANKS! Obama for keeping us there!

Quote:Your many posts where you called bullshit on either side of the aisle. Like I said, we may disagree in the details, but the picture as a whole is painfully clear.

No thanks for al Qaeda for murdering 3,000 Americans ? Or the Taliban for giving bin Laden aid and comfort ?
