Cant beleive we traded bad guys for this POS. Now he gets to rot in a cell for life, why did we even bother?

thoughts on this?

I'll give them credit for trying to get the more harsh sentence. That's a rare thing any more. But I also agree that he should have been left to stink up someone's else cell instead of an American one.

The anger should be the lives lost to save that piece of shit. He was charged to save face after the administration screwed up by saving his sorry ass.

IMO, he should have had the same fate Eddie Slovik did in 1945 for desertion

 

[HudsonFalcon]

He should be *hanged*.

Another Obama mess. Oh...and we are supposed to trust him on the Iran deal too?! I'm sure that will work out just peachy. What an utter joke of a president. He makes GWB look like a genius.

^ whoa. Let's not get carried away shipmate.

What a POS! Unbelievable that we traded 5 Taliban for 1 dirt bag that's going to sit in jail for the rest of his life. Should've left him to rot.

Negotiate with terrorists just to bring this scum back and put him on trial. Unreal.

 

[Troponin]

I remember a time when we didn't negotiate with Terrorists, and there is a damn good reason we shouldn't.

The terrorists that were released were pretty major players too.

Now all that's required is to actually find him guilty.

Keep your fingers crossed.

I hope they drag the courts martial out until after Obama leaves office. That way he cannot pardon him.

 

[SID297]

He should be hung.

*Hanged.*

Military has reported that they cannot confirm any deaths resulting from searches for him. I surely hope he is found guilty and spends life in prison, but I've got this gnawing feeling that choosing the more major charge is going to work in his favor. So I (sadly) won't be surprised if he gets off or gets a light sentence. We'll see.

If he is guilty, him and the person making the decision for the exchange should be executed publicly.

Yeah reading some more last night, saw they can't directly link his cowardice to the deaths of the other soldiers. I really hope he doesn't get a light sentence or worse gets off.

^^^ Amen to that!
