Taliban releases Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl!


Recommended Posts

Snatching him from his captors wouldn't have put another operator at risk and too many have died already trying to save this coward. Bad deal all the way around.

Yeah, but the operators were at risk when they pulled him out in that "friendly" exchange.

 

And... That exchange demonstrated U.S. capability to some people that probably hadn't seen it before.

 

So, now there's potential for those very same operators to be at risk next time they land somewhere.

 

If we'd have gone into that camp uninvited. We could have left it with few witnesses to that capability. And less potential threat in the future.

 

Being a soldier is all about exposing yourself to threat now, to prevent a threat in the future. Right?

Not so much than if they tried to forcefully snatch him.

 

Really? These folks know what are capability is - they saw nothing knew during the exchange.
