By Robert Spencer on Oct 22, 2017 04:51 pm

By Robert Spencer on Oct 22, 2017 04:14 pm

By Robert Spencer on Oct 22, 2017 09:47 am

How about sending him back to the Taliban, then? Barack Obama traded five seasoned, battle-hardened jihadis back to the Taliban in exchange for Bergdahl. Former infantry officer Nathan Bradley Bethea, who served with Bergdahl in Afghanistan, wrote in the Daily Beast that Bergdahl was “a deserter, and soldiers from his own unit died trying to […]
