Post Modern Warfare

Just watched Chris Matthews call Bergdahl a deserter. Then more commentary showing other anchors (some fox, of course) insinuate that he's gay and his father is Muslim. WOW. Poor Edward R. Murrow must be rolling in his grave. Reality has nothing to do with the news.
Perhaps Bergdahl did leave his base, trying to get out of an insane situation. His big mistake was joining the military. I am amazed by the photos of soldiers, sailors and marines in the recruiting ads and on the news...they are children. They say one's brain is not fully formed until around age 28, most of our military are not there yet and are experiences incredibly difficult learning situations. It seems totally reasonable to want to 'walk away' from the problem. I'll leave the whole sordid history of these wars aside, which is obviously what the volunteer army does and focus simply on a single young man who is now political fodder because that is really the story, not the release of an American captive for 5 prisoners who were slated for release already.
Benghazi is a no starter. No one cares anymore even though the right is trying to use that to derail Hillary Clinton's run for president. Anyone who is a student of political history knows that embassy's, American or otherwise, are full of spies. THAT IS THEIR PURPOSE.
Bergdahl is just another foci for the group of people that oppose what is good for the majority, the poorer less fortunate of us. What little we have is constantly under threat and if we can't keep the lesser of two evils in office we will have no shot at a higher minimum wage, or any of the services available to working people in all of western Europe. At any rate it's a shame that this man was held captive for 5 years in a completely foreign environment is now being maligned by the gentlemen on the right.
