The message the White House is sending is that they value treason more than honorable service.

That about sums it all up.

The message the White House is sending is that they value treason more than honorable service. Read that last sentence again. Let it sink in. THIS is what every soldier is thinking.

Doggone right that's what they are thinking.

He isn't one of their own. He is one of them. He is the enemy.

So is 0bama.

The real treason is the freeing of five hardened terrorists that will go on killing. The left loves killers except those in the gun free zones the create.

I have been talking to the boys who are still in, and they will not fight anymore. If sent anyplace, they will rollup the drawbridges and sit and do absolutely nothing. The vets I talk to that can be brought back, many are saying they will head out of country first...to Canada.

Thank you for your service.
“He is the enemy.”
Thank you for your honesty and clarity of thought. Yes, he is the enemy. And there is no doubt left that the enemy is in the white hut. Perhaps in the pentagon too.

Officers are ranked, enlisted are rated.

A Rose Garden Ceremony, a “hero’s welcome”, and automatic promotions to a person that deserted is nothing more than a slap in the face to every service member who has served honorably.

This is the Lib/s/Dem's plan to destroy the military, by destroying their brother-in-arms camaraderie. They want to fill the army with homos and lesbos and then make it subservient to the Dem party, just like they did with the "news" media.

Nice plan. I wish the Repubs had thought of it first, but then they tend to be upright and forthright honest about things; you can't say that about Libs....

Obama is one of THEM. Until and unless Americans find the guts to admit,face and deal with that we have deluded ourselves into slavery.

“Officers are ranked, enlisted are rated.”

I’ve heard of a rating in the Navy but not Air Force nor Army.

Where can I find a source for that interesting quirky bit of inside knowledge.

No they love killers in the gun free zones because they need gun control laws and gun owners to blame for the failure of a zone to work. Never mind the parents who let their kids run wild, never mind the vast majority of gun owners who don’t kill a hhuman. We need to go and blame someone for society’s wrongs, no matter how bigoted they are in such reasoning.

Bergdhal will have a high ranking position in either a Hillary cabinet position or become a huge cause celeb in a high paying position at a liberal arts college. Either way, Bergdhal will be very wealthy and a popular guy amongst the leftists. Hell, in 20 years the democrats will nominate him for president like the disgraceful John Kerry.
