This just keeps getting better and better. The US Military had to put all kinds of Special Forces, Aviation and other sources at risk just to rescue a deserter who doesn't feel well any more?? What, that Taliban Single Payer Plan ain't workin' out, huh??
I think this operation was conceived as a way to give team Obama a foreign policy victory, any foreign policy victory, or any action that could possibly be spun as a foreign policy victory. As usual, the rank amateurs who are running things at the White House didn't know their ass from a hole in the ground, or a Prisoner of War from a goddam deserter. This on top of the still unfolding VA scandal makes me furious.
