Who wrote this sh*t?
Gene from new Jersey?
The heavily drugged and mentally challenged editors at “The Jewish Daily Forward”.
The editors were so brave to write it that they won’t put their names to it.
He is not me.
Very good post. (and thank you for your service)
Your point about moral relativism (one choice is as good as another, they are all personal and for one person to decide whether it is good or not) is spot on.
We are endowed by God with a sense of right and wrong, and when we deviate from that for our own purposes, it is weakness and sometimes evil.
I went into a Universalist “church” once for a craft fair, and there were a lot of things indicating activities for children. A sign, aimed at teenagers said “Nobody can tell you what is right and wrong. That is for you to decide, and only you.”
I looked at it, and turned it over and thought “My God. What a thing to tell a child!”
We had to get him back to try, and subsequently, kill him for treason.

We shouldn’t judge? That is all the libs do. If they didn’t judge there would be no way for them to “feel” superior.
When I was in Israel I met a surprising number of young people who avoided military service due to religious reasons. One woman made it sound like that 100% service requirement was more like a PR campaign for outsiders than a fact of life.
Ping to post 19.
Poster doesn’t seem to know who posted posts 1 and 2, so he posted this to me instead.
Hmm..
I wonder if Israel would have swapped Hitler, Himmler,Goebbels,Hess for one prisoner?
These left-wing newsprint, TV and internet rags don't even need instructions from on high....they know exactly what to do and how to do it. They work in tandem as the designated arm of the Demonrat Party and of the Obama thugocracy.
Across the country this left-wing media dutifully heeds the call when its master's trumpet sounds. Today, the mission is to whitewash the Bergdahl treason. The propaganda effort may be overt or subtle, but it will be massive. The above article is but one example.
Always remember, the enemies of freedom are within our gates...and busily practicing their craft on us, i.e., media spin, dissimulation, deception, subversion, lying and distortion of facts.

“History
The Forward is a legendary name in American journalism and a revered institution in American Jewish life. Launched as a Yiddish-language daily newspaper on April 22, 1897, the Forward entered the din of New York’s immigrant press as a defender of trade unionism and moderate, democratic socialism.”
This is a communist website, masquerading as a Jewish one — with a name like “Forward” and their own admission. So this article shouldn’t be a surprise...
“We are all Bowe Bergdahl now...”. Embrace the shame, America. /s
With this Iraq fiasco, I wonder what trick Zer0 will use to distract us from his ineptness. Maybe he will pull Malaysian Flight 370 out of the hat with all the passengers alive and make the world so thankful to der Zer0.
Haqqani commander is quoted as saying Bergdahl DID NOT convert to Islam.
Also the “military source” that initially reported the conversion, also reported at the same time that it was part of Bergdahl’s plan to gain an opportunity to escape. He gained his guards trust until he was rewarded with enough freedom to slip away from them. He was captured three days later.
Great post!
My Dad flew in 3 wars, dying in the third. I’ve flown combat over Iraq and did a ground tour in Afghanistan. My SIL did 2 tours in Marine Infantry in Fallujah. My daughter did a tour in Iraq with the Marines. My son has done 2 tours, one in Iraq and one in Afghanistan. Both of my nieces are married to men who have done tours in Iraq. My only nephew is in Afghanistan now.
So yeah, I feel free to judge someone whose behavior was totally unacceptable. I feel free to say we could have left him to die in Afghanistan because anyone who deserts is...well, a DESERTER. The penalty for that can be death.
And when I was in Afghanistan in 2007, I never met ANYONE who didn’t understand what might happen if you fell into the hands of the enemy. None of us sought it out. Most of us planned to keep a few rounds left to shoot ourselves if we were about to be captured, per Kipling:
“When you’re wounded and left on Afghanistan’s plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains
An’ go to your Gawd like a soldier.”
And if Bergdahl wanted to ‘go to his Gawd like a deserter’, then I’m willing to let him.
Lets put this in perspective. I have no problem with sending in the special forces extraction team to get anybody back. Trading 5 high value terrorists for them is a different story. Very freaking different.
Lovely sources. Never mind Haqqani taqiyyah.
2 for 2--you're batting 1.000!
