    I assumed you were a liberal from your posts, and other than that, I never referred to you in any of the rest of my comments. You really need to stop your personal attacks if you want to remain on this forum. And frankly, how is assuming you are a liberal an excuse for personally attacking another poster?

    My service to my country and my fellow soldiers speaks volumes over what is evident of Bergdahl the traitor. Obama looks like the inept lying dick that he is saying Bergdahl served with honor and distinction, which confirms why I find liberals to be pathetic

    How about Obama's policies? You a fan?

    I asked you about the foul mouth. Nice dodge.

    Good for your opinion. Time will tell.

    Oh look another victim, boo hoo to you.

    I wasn't aware someone had to fight in a war to know what a "real soldier" is. Can you show me where that is in writing so we can actually see proof?

    The victim seems to be you. No sweat off my brow if you have a vile mouth.

    So you fought in no war. Keep that in mind when you try to diminish a real soldier here.

    Outside of supporting DOMA being removed, not really which is why I didn't vote for Obama. And just to make it clear I didn't vote for a GOPer either. I think Obama's policies have overreached in many ways, are hurting the economy because he isn't leading and in many ways the policies have placed us in danger in the ME. Although I think Bush's actions were the ones that pretty much made Afghanistan and Iraq a cluster (*)(*)(*)(*) to begin with.
    Right, because only a liberal has a foul mouth. :roll: Have you hung around any military members, VFW, or conservatives? Here's a hint you might find SHOCKING, they do too. Oh noes, I didn't mean to burst your imagery of conservatives being perfect little angels who never swear :roflol:

    Like I said before, you aren't man enough to admit you're wrong. That much we know about you.

    He may be a deserter OR he may not be. Point is, we got some really freakin' funny laws in this country, tho obviously you don't know much about that. He'll be tried and IF CONVICTED then be branded a deserter and suffer appropriate penalties.

    Your comment above explains why you really have no clue about the military

    This is the code you would have no clue about:

    http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2008/01/28/john-mccain-prisoner-of-war-a-first-person-account

    I was astonished, and I tell you frankly that I said that I would have to think about it. I went back to my room, and I thought about it for a long time. At this time I did not have communication with the camp senior ranking officer, so I could get no advice. I was worried whether I could stay alive or not, because I was in rather bad condition. I had been hit with a severe case of dysentery, which kept on for about a year and a half. I was losing weight again.

    But I knew that the Code of Conduct says, "You will not accept parole or amnesty," and that "you will not accept special favors." For somebody to go home earlier is a special favor. There's no other way you can cut it.

    When you walk, you desert.

    http://usmilitary.about.com/od/punitivearticles/a/mcm85.htm

    “(a) Any member of the armed forces who—
    (1) without authority goes or remains absent from his unit, organization, or place of duty with intent to remain away therefrom permanently;
    (2) quits his unit, organization, or place of duty with intent to avoid hazardous duty or to shirk important service; or(3) without being regularly separated from one of the armed forces enlists or accepts an appointment in the same or another one of the armed forces without fully disclosing the fact that he has not been regularly separated, or enters any foreign armed service except when authorized by the United States Note: This provision has been held not to state a separate offense by the United States Court of Military Appeals in United States v. Huff, 7 U.S.C.M.A. 247, 22 C.M.R. 37 (1956), is guilty of desertion.


    So tell me what I don't know again. :roll:

    Fair enough.

    You have a foul mouth. I am addressing you. And most of them do. Bashir and Schultz of MSNBC come to mind. Any poster who swears at me I call foul mouthed.

    What was I wrong about? Your mouth? And when a poster says 'we', that is a sure sign of a lone liberal trying to speak for a group.

    Justice? Yeah...how about a bullet to the head out in the desert someplace. Whooops, the traitor didn't return home. What a loss. There would be 5 less terrorists on the street right now if it wasn't for that scum.

    Let's look at it like this..

    He packed up his things and shipped home..

    He slipped out in the middle of the night..

    Where in the hell was he going? He damn sure couldn't walk to Idaho from Afghanistan.

    Again I go back to the being captive for 5 years. Most of these captives didn't make it a month, why did they hold him for 5 years?

    Oh yea.. Then there's the email home:

    And dad's response:

    What you so obviously don't know is that he must be CONVICTED in a courts martial trial. If it goes to trial, or he may make a plea bargain of some sort. Where in the name of common sense did you ever learn about the American judicial system or that of the military? Wherever it was, you sure as hell didn't learn very much.

    The Taliban is not classified as a terrorist organization. At least not the afghan version

    And he didn't accept those favors. He followed the orders of the POTUS to return home. Nice try but again you have nothing on that.

    - - - Updated - - -

    And? I'm not going to apologize for that, seems like you are thin-skinned to me. Where is your "rough and tough" attitude with being a soldier? When a soldier says something foul mouthed, did you whine?

    You accused me of being a liberal, I am not.

    Who asked for an apology? You and I know you have a foul mouth. And? It seems you have thin skin when it comes to criticism. Where did I say I was a soldier? You okay pal?

    You say you aren't a liberal.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Funny how he abandoned his post though. Who gave him those orders?

    BB, dont make me come up there and spank you. Do you know how many times ive seen you blanket insult liberals? Looney left is your favorite term....along with calling liberals pathetic, dumb, etc....

    Itd be nice to see you just once use "some" in front of liberal or left.

    Remember my motto: have whip, will travel. :grin:

    A spanking sounds so inviting LOL!

    I put the qualifiers of loon or other adjectives to get under the skin of the nuts that I address. It drives them positively batty. Please don't take it personally, you're my favorite liberal on this forum :clapping:

    I am up for the spanking though :smile:

    We could call it 50 shades of splay :roflol:

    He wasn't given a choice. We took him home. It's not like he hopped on a greyhound

    He wasn't a soldier. He wasn't even a 'deserter'. He was an enemy combatant by that point. Yes, I'll take him out because despite the fact that you disagree with me, I don't want you dead either. We're at war with Islam, a war I take very seriously. All those who arm against the U.S will be captured or killed under my regime, no more (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)footing around in war.

    And who was the other soldier the Taliban were holding? He was the last being held.

    - - - Updated - - -

    That would be North Korea, Iran, Syria, etc. Yeah, I'm glad you don't have "regime" so just sit there and deal with it.

    What does that have to do with McCain? You said the president forced him home, I asked you to post it, so where is it?

    What other soldier are you talking about?
