From your source. (BTW TC authored Iran letter.)

Meanwhile, here’s what Tom Cotton had to say on the issue back in June of 2014 in response to the White House pushing back at Bergdahl’s former platoon mates who’d expressed concern about his service:

“I want to say something to the anonymous sources in the president’s administration who are disparaging the service of Second Platoon and Blackfoot Company. Show yourself, speak in your own name, have the courage of your convictions. And if you don’t, shut up, and stand back and thank these men for their service.”

Tom Cotton praised by Jennifer Rubin in WP:

“On the floor of the U.S. Senate, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) once again showed why the imminent Iran deal is so reckless and why he is such an irritant to the White House.”

Don’t expect any apologies or regrets. These people are never sorry for anything. In fact, they probably stand by what they posted

People who are schizophrenic, raving on street corners in big cities, don't apologize for anything either.

His platoon said they heard Bergdahl on the radio asking for directions to the Taliban and later on the Taliban somehow knew their position suggesting Bargdahl told the Taliban. What we might have going on here is probably the biggest scandal in this nations history, not that Republicans will do anything about it, but namely a sitting US President who has committed high Treason. Was this all a scam put in place solely to free 5 Taliban commanders? Did Bergdahl get fed up playing Mr. Taliban so a deal was made where he would pose as a prisoner and in exchange for his “release” 5 Taliban commanders would be freed? Was Obama in on this scam? Has this ever happened before in this nations history where 5 enemy combatants are freed for one POW? If not then just why was Obama so eager to free them to the point of not even telling Congress? These are all questions that will never be answered just like all the other questions about the billion other acts by this President because we have traitors in Congress as well.

Obama is an abettor to the crime and should be charged, even if we have to wait till he is out of office.

The whole mess of deceit/travesty by traitors was a set up between the Muslim Bergdahls and the Muslim cabal of Obama and friends. That kind of situation is what to expect with/from all the Muslim infiltration into the US.

... my Guess is that Deserter Bergdahl was used as a pawn and an excuse by His Royal Highness Obama to obtain the release of the five top terrorists as well as infuse the terror infrastructure with the FIVE BILLION hard earned American Tax Dollars that was practically freely given as a gesture of good will to the terror group!

..... It is also my belief that the Prez is up to something similar as per the White House demand on 23 March, 2015 , for the release of several Americans who are imprisoned in Iran. .... Heck .... Obama is looking for absolutely any excuse , No matter how small or insane, to give away American tax dollars like it's nothing more than candy to foreign entities. He is plundering the economy of this country and this is all a part of his technique of doing so. Strangely though, it seems to be happening without notice by the media .....

No, the worm has not turned. Jennifer Rubin is the “house conservative” at the Post.

Everybody else there carries progressives’ water.

You mean that Hillary actually kept her mouth shut? In this case, it makes a BIG difference for her to have kept her mouth shut.

I don’t think they were cheering him because he was released. I think they cheered him because he went AWOL and deserted.
