The Deserter Honored in the Rose Garden
Steyn Online ^ | 18 Oct 2017 | Mak Steyn

...

On Monday Bowe Bergdahl pleaded guilty to charges of desertion and misbehavior before the enemy. He will be sentenced next week. To all but a mendacious Administration and its accomplices among the court eunuchs of the Obama media, the truth about this man was obvious from the day of his release by the Taliban three-and-a-half years ago.. Me on June 3rd 2014:

In years to come, when archaeologists are prowling through the ruins of our civilization and wondering how it all happened, I would offer this snapshot. Here's the history of America's longest war in two anti-American losers, John Walker Lindh and Bowe Bergdahl, confused young men with a gaping hole at the heart of where their sense of identity should be, stumbling through the Hindu Kush trying to "find themselves".

In the fall of 2001, the first confused anti-American loser trying to find himself, John Walker Lindh was on the enemy's side - and was tried, convicted and jailed for life [CORRECTION: 20 years].

By the spring of 2014, the last confused anti-American loser of the Afghan war, Bowe Bergdahl, was on our side - and was honored by the President with a family photo-op in the Rose Garden and declared by the laughably misnamed "National Security Advisor" to have "served the United States with honor and distinction".

The fact is he walked out and he left America behind, this guy - and he did it, by the way, on the advice of his father. He wrote to his father saying, 'I hate America, it's a horror, I want to renounce my citizenship.' And his father emails back, 'Follow your conscience."'

Interesting that The Fake News Media missed this little nugget.

If, by "interesting", I mean, "predictable".

Obama was the worst disaster ever to befall this country. And he got away with it scot-free simply because of Black-Leftist Privilege.

I clearly remember that the father encouraged the son to desert - into a violent tribal society at that! I guess people have forgotten that horrible nugget but I never forgot it.

Completely typical of the Obama regime. Long may it burn in hell.

More of the Hollywood campaign to glorify and lionize losers and mavericks

For THEM— It doesn’t matter if the guy is a lunatic, criminal, traitor, whatever... ANY kind of anti-establishment conduct and language is heroic, it’s cool and hip.

For this mentality to work or to gain any kind of acceptance, it is best for moviegoers and others to possess absolutely ZERO logic, education, healthy cynicism or maturity...I think I just defined every Liberal I know.

Obama is the worst. It is a shame he will not pay for the destruction he will have caused.

He set the black community back DECADES as the “first black president”. If this is what you get with a BLACK president, then why would you vote for another one?

The “tell” that he was a deserter was when the old Muslim man PATTED him on the shoulder because Bowie was crying!

And Bergdahl's father words, after his release, made that certain:

(1) "Bowe Bergdahl's father praises Allah at the White House"
Note: "Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim" means "In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Compassionate."

(2)

The father is as much a traitor as the son and belongs behind bars with him.

He should have been injected with Ebola and dropped in a parachute into Talisman territory.
