Not Bergdahl's, the Trib's dishonor

How dare the Chicago Tribune Editorial Board smear Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl in their editorial 'Bowe Bergdahl's dishonor'. One would think that after cheering on two criminal wars in the Middle East that killed hundreds of thousands, the Trib would avoid calling attention to their malfeasance by demanding jail time for a American hero who had the decency to walk away from one instead of legitimizing it by serving. But instead, you plow ahea...d with your chicken hawk talk about soldiers having to "accept a grave obligation to perform their duties no matter what the circumstances, even at the cost of their lives." But when those "circumstances" are lies and propaganda to entice soldiers to kill in totally unwinnable wars which have no connection to our real national security interests, we are better served with soldiers like Bergdahl just walking away. Bergdahl should get an honorable discharge; all his back pay; and thanks for letting every American know that there are thousands of Bowe Bergdahls out there who suffer terrible mental problems and often kill themselves rather than just walk away, like Bergdahl did.

And how dare the Trib take a cheap shot at President Obama for releasing the five Guantanamo prisoners to get Bergdahl home. You and the neocons, like former UN Ambassador John Bolton, who despicably urged we bomb Iran in fellow neocon paper NY Times, energize more folks to fight against American imperialists in the Middle East than those five released detainees, now under the control of Qatar, ever could.

Time for the Tribune Editorial Board to stop glorifying our failed militarism in the Middle East and creating an endless army of the maimed...mentally as well as physically.
Thanks for your service, Sargent.
