There is no crime so great that leaving him in the hands of our enemies is the indicated punishment. He was, he is, one of ours. Period. For better or for worse, he’s one of ours, and we don’t leave our people behind – not even the deserters. We Americans sent him into the meat grinder and it is our sacred obligation to get him home, no matter what. Even if he was dead. We’ve been digging through the jungles of Southeast Asia for the better part of four decades, trying to make good on that promise for the men we left there. We’ve spared no expense to return home little more than tiny moldering pieces of bone. Some of those dead men were heroes, some were hardened professionals, and some were just soldiers doing their duty, who came when called and who did their best to survive a horrible conflict they couldn’t understand and wanted no part of. Some were steadfast and some were cowards and some were fools. But they were, each and every one, ours. And we have done our best to bring them home. And what? We should do any less for Sgt. Bergdahl? From Stonekettle Station stonekettle/
