re: #167 Dr Lizardo

If I were President, and Sgt. Bergdahl’s release were on my watch, my presidential response to the endless BS coming from the RWNJ’s would be simple and succinct.

“We are the United States of America, and we don’t leave our men behind, regardless of circumstances. And if you don’t like that, you can go straight to Hell, or better yet, get the fuck out of the United States, because no sane American wants you here anymore.”

I would have skipped the Rose Garden announcement and issued a press release, private meeting with the family. I would have avoid the “honor and distinction” comments about his service to some much more vague. The only tough call for me would be the comments about his health and threats to his safety if leaked. I suspect those are more political cover for the legal grey area, I don’t blame them for not wanting to notify congress so a little bit of ass covering is to be expected.
