re: #187 Killgore Trout

Sadly this has quickly turned into a partisan pissing match and the first thing to go out the window is simple cognitive thinking. We do have a lot of reports that Bergdahl may have deserted but now I’m seeing speculation (without any supporting evidence) that his unit is lying, swift boating and trying to cover up their own wrong doing. Now there’s an automatic assumption that if you believe Bergdahl may have deserted you’re a wingnut falling for some sort of cover up. There’s a lot of bitching about smearing Bergdahl from people willing to smear the rest of his unit as liars. There’s more interest in winning the partisan pissing match than learning what actually happened.

See, it didn’t need to be a partisan pissing contest. The same elected officials who pushed Obama to get him out at all costs are now attacking the guy. I also have a big problem with a major news network (FNC) suggesting his father is a Taliban member.
