The six men who died--Staff Sergeant Clayton Bowen, Staff Sgt. Kurt Curtiss, 2nd Lt. Darryn Andrews, Pfc. Morris Walker, Staff Sergeant Michael Murphrey, and Pfc. Matthew Michael Martinek--were part of the same command unit as Bergdahl and died on missions related to his search.
In gaining Bergdahl, the United States did not only lose six of its finest--it lost control of five of Afghanistan's most dangerous Taliban leaders, now handed over to the arms of a welcoming nation. The number that died to find and capture these Taliban Terrorists remains a mystery. Their parents will not get the opportunity to tell the world they died in vain, on missions to contain enemies the Obama administration made a clear choice to liberate.
Fuck Bergdahl. Fuck Obama... and Fuck Jane Fonda while you're at it.

Maybe two of the deaths can be credited to searching for this dude. Hear me now, I'm not going to defend Bergdahl's actions, but leaving a combatant in the field? Even the Israelis traded 1,000 dudes for Gilad Shalit (google it). The hypocrisy of conservatives jumping down a soldier's throat on this is stunning, frankly. Like I said, I wouldn't have done it, but hard to second guess the President on this incident. Goal is to extract from a stupid war after all.
