PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Exchange program: terrorists for deserters" |
If it was me......I'm actually going to clear some spoiler space here because it's an odd idea and I want to get it past the public view area... ...I would have chipped them. Implanted trackers. Transmitters. No matter where you go, we know where you are. We know who you're associating with. What you're planning. And if we hear anything interesting, it's also a homing beacon for drones. Enjoy your new life. But I don't know if we're that smart. And given the nature of what we let go... ...I know it's an American life. I know getting him back was important. But I'm with some of the GOP on this one. I think we made a mistake. One which is going to come back and bite us. Hard. With more kidnappings to come. More deaths. More everything. Unless I hear the pings coming off five radar blips, we screwed up. We got back one life. We may have given up thousands. And just because some of those won't be American doesn't make them any less important.

5. "RE: Exchange program: terrorists for deserters" |
LAST EDITED ON 06-02-14 AT 06:14 PM (EST)I too am very concerned about this. In light of my previous posts supporting our brave men and women in uniform, I'm really torn on how to respond to this quagmire (thanks, that's the ideal adjective). There have been several very dangerous precedents established -- the first is setting a "sure, we'll trade" policy with a very non-profitable (I really hesitate using that word, as there it implies placing a measurable value on the life of one of our brave service personnel) 5:1 ratio. This will invite further hostage taking that may very well escalate the 'price'. Again, taking nothing from Sgt. Bergdahl's service and sacrifice - but I don't see that his particular military value is that significant. The fact that this deal was made makes me think the 'deserter' title is without cause. Another danger is the apparent violation of Presidential power. Could this lead to Impeachment? I'm certain that other clandestine operations have been hatched with appropriate communication between the Oval Office and Capitol Hill in the past, so why not in this case? I really don't know how this will play out.
