240 years of precedent down the tubes

[ordnance11]

The White House appears to have been caught flat-footed about the
response of other soldiers to the Bergdahl trade. Perhaps they expected
kudos for leaving no man behind.

If you were ever an active duty soldier, airman, sailor or marine, the answer to that would be yes. Even if the guy is a scumbag. He may end up getting court martialed for desertion, but right now to me since we're packing up and going home over there, it's a moot point. Besides, the Senate GOP (including McCain) was well aware this was going to happen back in 2011. I don't see him raising holy hell about it.
