Secretary of State John Kerry says it's “baloney” to argue that U.S. troops will be more at risk in Afghanistan after the prisoner swap of five Taliban commanders for Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl.

“Our combat role in Afghanistan is over,” Kerry said in an interview aired Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” when asked if U.S. troops were being put at increased risk.

"We’re going to have very few people in that kind of position,” he said. “On occasion, but I honestly, I just think that’s a lot of baloney because, to whatever degree it may be true, they will wind up putting themselves at the mercy of those people who are very effective who are there, who will deal with those guys.”

Kerry has always had a visceral hatred for American soldiers. A bunch more killed will please him no end. He looks down on most Americans for that matter.

“Kerry” and “baloney” - two words which belong together.

Apparently this bungling idiot doesn't realize that just driving down the road in any military vehicle is a form of combat in Afghanistan. Maybe he thinks they've been engaged in huge tank battles and WWII style troop movements.
