He 100% agrees with you, that doesn't make him right. Anybody that thinks they speak for me chaps my ass. I speak for my self quite clearly.
No doubt about it. However, you did speak for yourself during the deserter argument and you made it quite clear that you thought it was a good deal, therefore he is right.
Of course it chaps his ass. I understand how crushing it must be to his fragile ego to work in an academic setting with so many people who are more intelligent than him. That explains his need to try to feel better about himself by pretending to be smarter than anonymous internet characters. Dr. Phil would understand. What I don't understand is how a long hair pot smoking youth who chased hairy underarmed hippie chicks with the clap turned into such a fuddyduddy. Is there a fuddyduddy virus or maybe he has the fuddyduddy gene
That's not true. Selective memory. Red and I both said we should try to get Bergdhal back and then try him for his crimes. There is a huge difference with an American soldier in a war zone leaving off the base and being captured than there is with a civilian leaving Denver to join ISIS. Bergdhal was a prisoner and if he committed crimes which I think we all agree he did, he should be punished and put in whatever military prison he belongs in. These people that are civilians who are ideologues leaving our country are way different and that's the point.
One, he is not right just because you agree with him. Two, I didn't say it was a good deal, just the right thing to do. You would leave a soldier behind without a chance to defend himself? We didn't know the facts about his disappearance and possibly still don't, but now he will get his hearing and possibly court martial if he rates it. How is that bad? He is on active duty awaiting an Article 32 hearing in the fall.
1. Yeah, he pretty much is 2. Semantics 3. He left the OP and went to the enemy and started rubbing peckers with them. We don't really need to do this again do we?
