The point is norm asked a question why was this a big deal ? I answered it with, Obama politicized it.
You disagreed. Apparently you don't now.

Anyhow this is getting way off topic from the op and what could turn out to be a interesting thread.

No, I still disagree that Obama "politicized" it. But you are right; that isn't what the main topic of the thread was supposed to be.

It appears all the witnesses, including the prosecution ones, have referred to Bergdahl as a "good" or "great" soldier. No evidence has been provided that he assisted the Taliban in any way. Don't the many right wingers who referred to him as a "traitor" need to eat some crow?
