when was he a deserter
and when was he a POW.
This is a mess. How much of this is poor military strategy. Leaving a bunch of young dumb guys on a hill with young officers in the middle of nowhere for months at a time, In a war with no end. A lot of anger. Reminds me of a Vin Diesel sci-fi movie.
In 14 years of War no one above Major has been killed or wounded yet. They keep those guys safe and sound.

If true, then trading 5 terrorists for his release just got even worse. |
bullsheet. from the same guys who said they heard Bin Laden talking on the radio in the mountains in 2001 then poof.
Bergdahl does not speak Pashtun. The Taliban would be wondering why an American had the BALLS to come out alone and was speculating.
if he wanted to join them they would have used him for propaganda and he would have been happy about it like Jihadi John.

They did use him for propaganda -> see how weak the USA is, we negotiated 5 good terrorists for 1 bad terrorist.

speculation is 0bama will give this guy a pardon because he is crazy and it is not his fault that the army made a mistake and allowed him to go to the middle east.

For the rest of his term Obama will do nothing for anyone but himself.
Not that the country was EVER his primary concern - it most obviously was not, but expect any crap from now on. He will sink to any level to try to preserve his legacy, although I think that is now set in stone - after a massive rejection of his policies.

No, you do not.
"Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court." -- U.S. Constitution.
The operative word is "Enemies."
Only Congress can declare war. The last time the Congress did that was December 1941. Our enemies in that war were Germany, Japan and Italy, all of whom were defeated. Ergo, the United States is not at war. Ergo, the United States has no enemies. Ergo, it is impossible to commit treason against the United States at this time.

I read your BS and wonder if you are really silly enough to believe this garbage.
That "massive rejection" currently has Hillary with 2.5M more votes than Donny. That's 2,500,000 votes more for Clinton than Trump.
It's massive, alright.

If only congress can declare war why was one of the dem talking points that you don't want Trump 'near the button'?
As far as Obama being treasonous, you weren't born last night, you know what he's done.

Because while only Congress can declare war the President, as Commander in Chief, can make war.

No, I do not. Why don't you tell me? Exactly what was the "overt act" referred to in the Constitution? I've asked that before and no one has come up with an answer.

He gave 1.6 billion cash to Iran. In a hidden late night airline flight. In blatant disregard for Federal Law. No approval from Congress.
I count Iran as an enemy. Case closed
