Obama's Rescued Hostage Unsympathetic



[From article]
he was “so scared” that he had already abandoned his unit once, and concluded: “AND I’LL RUN AWAY AGAIN IF I HAVE TO GO OUT THERE.”
Slovik was like Bradley Manning minus the lipstick and eyeliner.
A lieutenant, a company commander, and a judge advocate all tried to persuade Slovik to shred the letter and return to his unit, warning him that he’d be tried for desertion otherwise. Slovik refused.
In the middle of World War II, the military court-martialed Slovik, tried him, and sentenced him to death.
Allied Supreme Commander Dwight Eisenhower denied Slovik’s pardon request, saying it would encourage more desertions, just as the fighting was getting especially hot. Slovik was executed by firing squad and buried among the numbered graves of court-martialed rapists and murderers in an American military cemetery in France.

Three days before he walked off his base, Bergdahl emailed his parents:
– “I am ashamed to be an american.”
– “The US army is the biggest joke … It is the army of liars, backstabbers, fools and bullies.”
– “These people need help, yet what they get is the most conceited country in the world telling them that they are nothing and that they are stupid.”
– “The horror that is america is disgusting.”
