Come on people! There is no conspiracy here. Look at the dad. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I'm convinced this kid was a sell out the minute he went over there. Both the father and the son brainwashed each other. They are both a disgrace to this country and the military. The father is an idiot. He needs to go live in Afghanistan. The people of Idaho should make his life miserable. I feel sorry for the wife unless she is a Muslim sympathiser as well.
Obama is a muslim sympathizer as well. Barack Hussein Obama? Raised in Indonesia as a youth? LOL Come on people are my fellow Americans REALLY that f'ing dumb nowadays? Does nothing piss us off anymore? Are we THAT tolerant and that apathetic? What a disgrace America has become. You can't have an America unless you want to protect what it stands for and what it's supposed to mean. Borders, language, and culture. An assault on any or all of these which is what is happening will destroy our way of life.
You sound like a nationallist .. You don't even know the full story and your popping off.
Why don't you wait for bowe to make a statement before you assume things.
Your saying bowe is a ",sell out" ? What proof do you have of this ?
And let's say that it does come that his views on this pointless war have changed...
Great! He will be among the thousands of Americans and soldier's who would agree with him!
Its a pointless war ...that has taken many many lives...
Do you support that?

Islam is not just a religion, it is an ideal, it owns countries, it is a political Ideal with it's own laws and rules which owns a very big portion of the world. Islam is not a race, people of many different races and nationality are Muslims. Islam is like a political party. It has it's left and right and extremists just like most parties. The religious aspect of Islam is only one small portion. It is not racist to not like or question Islam as Islam is not a race. By questioning it or not liking it is just like questioning the Democrats or Republican parties.

Muslim sympathizers, Really??
Christianity is not just a religion, it is an ideal, it owns countries, it is a political Ideal with it's own laws and rules which owns a very big portion of the world. Christanity is not a race, people of many different races and nationality are Christans . Christianity is like a political party. It has it's left and right and extremists just like most parties. The religious aspect of Christianity is only one small portion. It is not racist to not like or question Christanity is not a race. By questioning it or not liking it is just like questioning the Democrats or Republican parties. Likewise right?
Vatican City is the smallest country in the world.
Encircled by a 2-mile border with Italy, Vatican City is an independent city-state that covers just over 100 acres, making it one-eighth the size of New York’s Central Park. Vatican City is governed as an absolute monarchy with the pope at its head. The Vatican mints its own euros, prints its own stamps, issues passports and license plates, operates media outlets and has its own flag and anthem. One government function it lacks: taxation. Museum admission fees, stamp and souvenir sales, and contributions generate the Vatican’s revenue.
In a move that has taken the Italian government by surprise, the pope has divorced the Vatican State from Italian national law, effective from January 1. With this move the Vatican State immediately reverts to its pre-1929 status, meaning that the pope now becomes the supreme authority on judging which of those laws enacted by the Italian government the Vatican State will choose to abide by and which it will reject.
This is a clever ploy with tremendous consequences for the future.
Christian & Jews can practice under Sharia law
A former U.S. officer who served in Afghanistan with Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl claims that soldiers were threatened by U.S. authorities if they questioned his story.
After he was captured, Bergdahl said on a video from his captors that he lagged behind on patrol, although other sources in the military suggested anonymously that he walked away from his post.
“Not only has this nebulous non-story been put out for years but you know these soldiers of 4th Brigade 25th Infantry Division were threatened with legal repercussions if they spoke about Bergdahl. Everybody officially mandated silencing of what we saw has been so frustrating,” Bethea explained on BBC World Service Radio today.
Bethea served in Sgt. Bergdahl's unit, and was an infantry officer in the U.S. Army from 2007 to 2014
CNN’s Jake Tapper also reported that many of Bergdahl's fellow troops signed nondisclosure agreements agreeing to never share any information about Bergdahl's disappearance and the efforts to recapture him.
Bethea explained that now he was safe, more soldiers would be trying to tell the truth of his disappearance.

Answer me this - These men in Gitmo were high level Taliban leaders. They were traded for one low level deserter who apparently didn't even want to be American anymore in his own words.
Obama has a pattern of making moves that strengthen the position of Islamic militants around the world. Just about everything he has done in the ME and elsewhere has done that: Libya, Syria, Egypt, and now he does this and gives back the Taliban five of their high leadership. There are also rumors that the Benghazi affair was an attempt to get Stevens kidnapped, not killed, so a similar horse trade could be set up exchanging Stevens for the Blind Sheikh.
You don't think this might have been a similar attempt grasping at straws to serve his ends while also getting the VA Scandal off the front pages? Awfully convenient timing if you ask me ...
Captured US soldier has joined our cause, say Taliban Private Bowe Bergdahl disappeared from an American military base in southeastern Afghanistan in June 2009
A Taliban commander in Paktika said the 24-year-old Bergdahl had converted to Islam (AP) The only known American soldier in Taliban captivity is training fighters in bombmaking and ambush, according to one of his captors and the Afghan intelligence agents working to free him.
Private Bowe Bergdahl disappeared from an American military base in southeastern Afghanistan in June 2009. Last week The Sunday Times interviewed one of his captors, shedding light on a case that has baffled US military officials.
A Taliban deputy district commander in Paktika province said the 24-year-old American had converted to Islam in the months after his capture. He said Bergdahl, from Idaho’s Sun Valley, had trained Taliban fighters in bomb-making and ambushing convoys.
“When I saw him for the second time, he had totally changed. He had a beard and he treated all of us very respectfully. He seemed very relaxed in our company. He was no longer scared,” said the commander, who called himself Haji Nadeem.

America's Last Prisoner of War Three years ago, a 23-year-old soldier walked off his base in Afghanistan and into the hands of the Taliban. Now he’s a crucial pawn in negotiations to end the war. Will the Pentagon leave a man behind? Read more: www.rollingstone.com...
But just under a year ago, in June 2013, White House press secretary Jay Carney was unequivocal in his response to a reporter’s questions about this very deal, saying, “[W]e would not make any decisions about transfer of any detainees without consulting with Congress and without doing so in accordance with U.S. law.”
