Indeed, but if recent history is any judge this won’t end well.

Just wondering if he'll be “mirandized.” I'm of the opinion that this administration has lost its collective mind.

I'm sure that with the One in charge he will be treated according to all the rules of civilized warfare since we know that by bending over backwards in treatment of the enemy combatants it will be reciprocated.
I seriously hope they can rescue him quickly knowing the history of those animals!

No one says they have him, so I wonder how they know he’s been captured?

As they used to tell us: “Good hunting.”
In other words, kill the enemy.

Many prayers for our Soldier and his family.

I am horrified that our media has seen fit to gloss over this with a mere sentence in a long article. Had this been Iraq with Bush in charge, the headlines couldn’t have been big enough!
