Default Soldier's father asks a question ...

The father of a soldier killed looking for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl and one of Bergdahl's former unit member speak out.

I defy Obama, or ANYONE who supports his decision, to answer that father's question ...

One of these guys needs to stand up and SCREAM...Fuc*ing Obama, this man left his post, left his duty, stop the lies...any/all/more of this type. This quiet talk is going nowhere, only we who are involved are listening.

Gut wrenching to see a father having to speak of his son that way. When I practiced, I got to see all sides of human emotion on the death of a loved one. I recall a father who carried his son's ashes every where he went.

This well may have been a poorly researched mission, and I'm hopeful of two things... One, they explore the decision making pre exchange and ..Two , I do believe the Army will handle the matter pursuant to the UCMJ, a serious public trust is involved here on many levels.

Stalin once said " One death is a tragedy, one million deaths is a statistic" when speaking of war. When you observe the pent up emotion and the forced restraint of that father, it kind of makes sense.

One issue is of course, the way the press has been censored. No body bags, no caskets and the public outrage is partially avoided by the distance and the darkness regarding citizens having appropriate empathy for the fallen.
