Welcome home soldier.

His father mentioned how he's apparently having difficulty speaking English.  YA WENT INJUN DINYA
Homeland scenario?

Suspicions are raised as he comes home in moccasins and feathers in his hair.

Time for a more general settlement?

I can't imagine any terms the Taliban would be willing to accept that the good guys would be willing to offer.

Quote
The US defence secretary dismissed the criticism, saying this was an exchange of prisoners of war. He said that he hoped the deal would open the way to a wider peace process.

Interesting if true.

This actually solves two problems.  First we get our guy back, second we get rid of guys at Gitmo.  If we release them back in to the wild we can kill them later.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

We released five dangerous terrorists and get a deserter in return.

At least we can put him on trial.

I read somewhere that after five years he's struggling to speak English and speaks mostly Arab and/or Pashtu?

So, he must be a deserter, if he doesn't have the strength of will to cling to the One True Language.

Yes, he left a note to that effect and sneaked off base to join the afghans to convince them to let him go home. He apparently also made comments to his squad mates prior to his desertion that he opposed the US and supported the afghans (apparently this nitwit believed that we were at war with the Afghans).

And now the White House is trying to portray this piece of shit as some sort of hero.

At least he is gained some employable skills during his years away. :)

Breaking News - The US has negotiated 'via' Qatar, a prisoner swap with the Taliban, the sole US POW, an army sergeant has been released in exchanged for the freeing of 5 senior Taliban commanders/politicians held at Guantanamo. 

Time for a more general settlement?


Apparently the American has already been handed over to the US, supposedly several dozen US special forces meet with 19* Taliban fighters to conduct the handover.

The five Taliban are due to go to Qatar, living there for a year, before being transfered to Afghanistan.



* oddly specific, I'm just repeating AJ's coverage.

Fuck you Mongers.

Here are the names of the American Soldiers killed why actively looking for this faggot:

PFC Matthew Michael Martinek
SSG Kurt Robert Curtiss
SSG Clayton Bowen
PFC Morris Walker
SSG Michael Murphrey
2LT Darryn Andrews

These are just from the 501st Infantry, there are more from other units.

That is a pretty absurdly high price to pay for just one guy.  I guess the Admin does not want anything left to tie it to Afghanistan when/if it pulls out?

Edit: Oh hi Hans good to see you.  Hope things are going well.
