MamaJD: No To Bergdahl Swap, Alas

MamaJD: Minnick's idea that we trade 1 not 1000 follows the same thought process that if your are hit by a train, it's the caboose that kills you. As much as it pains me as a supporter of Pfc. Bowe Bergdahl, I don't want his situation to further endanger the rest of military. Yes I want him home but not at the expense of the rest of our military if it appears they can easily become pawns in a trading game. It is the first trade, not the thousandth, that puts this chain reaction in motion

DFO: Don't forget to vote in the weekend poll re: this question (in the rail at the left).

Question: Do you think Bergdahl will get out of captivity alive, if the U.S. doesn't make a trade of prisoners or arms of some sort?
