That would be quite a shock to Zero's narrative, so far.
But Zero does have his pen and can pardon the kid with a stroke of it.
Then it will be up to the MSM to see what they can do.
I posted this on another thread; fits here too:
I have a bit of a different slant on this issue, and I’ll bet I’m not too far off the mark. I think the son, Bowe, who may have initially switched to Islam to save his neck, so to speak, jumped in with both feet and became a true believer. I bet he was in on teaching his new fellow Muzzies how to make bombs and was slamming the U.S. twice as much as his newfound buddies, while growing his beard out. I think he saw himself as one of them, now trusted by them and a fellow Jihad travellor.
However, what Bowe didn’t bargain for was that his fellow Islamists were getting ready to throw him under the bus in order to liberate 5 real Afghan Taliban, being held at Gitmo as prisoners. What Bowe didn’t bargain on, was that the Taliban would want 5 real Jihadists back in their fold, especially ones that were probably the brains behind many an attack on Westerners, preferably on U.S. ones. And the Taliban was more than happy to trade in one faux Jihadist for 5 real ones. That hadn’t entered into Bowe’s equation.
Now Bowe has been traded in for the 5 Gitmo Jihadists, and I’m sure he is exceedingly bewildered and feeling very betrayed. He thought he was one of them, a fellow Jihadist. Now he has been jilted and sent back to what he now considers the enemy, that’s us. And could end up in the klink back in the good old USA for desertion to boot. What a culture shock.
Hence he doesn’t want to speak the enemy’s language, that’s English. So Pops (I can’t say a chip off the old block as Pops IS the old block) who seems to have mimicked his son’s Islamist propensities, speaks to his son who won’t speak English, in Arabic. How jolly, how easily Pops and son will be able to communicate with one another when Bowe gets home. Poor young Bowe, he’s got to be one big psychological mess right now; he’s neither fish nor fowl, just a lonely Jihadist without a country. The fun begins.
The situation is totally bizarre.
When did the pos father turn to the dark side? If it was before the traitor son joined the Army this would add a whole other dimension to the story.
Agree totally except they speak Pashtun or Dari in Ashcanistan, not Arabic. The Weirdometer here is maxing out; my wife asked if the father is Amish & I said that’s not an Amish nor a Duck Dynasty beard, it’s an Islamic one as the father goes muzzie native in seeking his son’s release.
The father of this deserter also said “salaam aleikum” IIRC.

Flaglady47,
Good analysis!
All y’all, ping to flaglady’s post!
Remember the Tally pic of the Bowster wearing the jacket with the Vee pattern? It wasn’t entirely clear but it looke to me like the jacket was a West Point cadet jacket. I expect the dunderhead didn’t know what they had him wear and thot he was coolashell getting to wear the local letterman’s coat? Probably thot he’d just made varsity?
