Why Team Obama Was Blindsided by the Bergdahl Backlash

From Ralph Peters at Nation Review:

Congratulations, Mr. President! And identical congrats to your sorcerer’s apprentice, National Security Adviser Susan Rice. By trying to sell him as an American hero, you’ve turned a deserter already despised by soldiers in the know into quite possibly the most-hated individual soldier in the history of our military. .......

Both President Obama and Ms. Rice seem to think that the crime of desertion in wartime is kind of like skipping class. They have no idea of how great a sin desertion in the face of the enemy is to those in our military. The only worse sin is to side actively with the enemy and kill your brothers in arms. This is not sleeping in on Monday morning and ducking Gender Studies 101.

Typical Liberal, which "loath" members of the military and believes the Military should only be used when it's NOT in the Strategic Interests of the United States or as an international meals on wheels program.
