make? i would say it makes a big difference how you become a prisoner of war. ask a lot of people, ask john mccain who was shot down fighting and pursuing the enemy. in this case bowe bergdahl allegedly walked off the base and his platoon mates understood that. that s a critical factor especially megyn when you re willing to break decades and centuries of what you re willing to say publicly about concessions to the enemy, negotiating with the enemy and you re willing to turn over five not just terrorists, terrorist all-stars terrorist leaders who are under house arrest for a year and will now likely go back to afghanistan and seek to rejoin the fight, seek to join isis and kill more americans. that trade was deadly. will have deadly and historic consequences because of the way they view bowe bergdahl they had to have known in 2009, megyn everyone knew that there was the there there to stand and say honor and distinction was to stand affront the facts. and his platoon mates did not
