And they say there's never any good news.

Welcome home Sgt. :salute

This is all so sad..
-
Really from what is sounds like is he deserted post and went to join the Taliban on his free will and gave them training he learned.
-
I read he was walking to India...
-
5 years as a pow.. then god knows what..
-
The bad news: the law was broken
The good news: the guy who broke it, passed it - and it was likely unconstitutional anyway...
Nuff said...

Did you ever notice how Discovery runs these cryptozoology "mockumentaries" lately? I think they're tarnishing their credibility.
-
He deserted his post?!?!
Ice cream, cake, cupcakes, pudding, pies?
Must have been a heck of a clean up.
Seriously, Hang him.
-
Oh, but for the day when such a thing might be possible...
-
5 years as a pow.. then god knows what..
technically... not a POW. Desertion and abandonment seems to be more in line terms. Something tells me he was not held against his will, tortured, starved, or abused as many of us think he was.
If in fact he did desert or abandon his post "to get lost in the mountains", then he should face up and meet his doom via military tribunal. If the Commander in Chief of the US Armed Forces gives him a "get out of jail free" card, then he walks. THAT will be sad and the CiC will lose much of my respect.
-
He sought out Taliban and gave them training he recieved.
-
I'm waiting for the military to get finished with their investigation and make the decision which way to go. I am fairly certain a court marshal is in his future. I am very unhappy with his father especially for the statement at the whitehouse.
As to a POW status, that will be finally set to rest one way or the other at the court. Frankly, if half of the allegations are true we got the wrong end of the stick in the "deal" and traded the equivalent of five taliban general officers for a PFC benedict arnold.
I agree with the General, the guy is innocent until proven otherwise. If he is guilty I'd be happy to help slam the door at Leavenworth on him or pull the lever.
-
If there was desertion, or if the stories of outright treason are true, I don't expect much to happen to the guy for [can't talk about it here] reasons.

See Rule #14

I think he should feel the full fury of the UCMJ.
-
I might as well rule 1-14 myself because this thread should be locked, the truth is out on the web - simply look for his platoon leaders name and read up what he has to say about Bowe.
I am not going to bother giving my own opinion, I know Skuzzy would PNG me if I even bothered to write one sentence, I am surprised this thread isn't locked already because of the political nature of it.
In my opinion if his Platoon leader is telling the truth, this guys going to prison for a very long time.

Been there, done that myself (unintentionally of course). Skuzzy has to accommodate a broad multinational group of forum members. Cut him some slack on this one. I know I wouldn't want to moderate this discussion.
-
I know. I hold him no malice... Understand, I didn't actually say anything, but it was the way I didn't say anything that got me 14'd, I think.

It was the quote that got you.
I know this topic is going to end up going the way of the do-do soon. It cannot help but go there, given what is happening at the moment.

I see. I've heard them called "sneering" quotes before. Lesson learned. I say no more on this topic.

I can save this thread!
We can talk about Jim Bowie instead, and his excellent knives!

Nope, as that will lead into both gun and political talk.
Sorry, but that is just the way this board works.
-
Talking about guns is against the rules now too?
-
It just ends up being about things that are not allowed on the board.
-
disregard

I can save this thread!
We can talk about David Bowie and his music!

LOL!
Gotta give points for persistence. :)
-
What if we talked about, for example, the various design aspects of differnet types of guns, or perhaps the use of exotic and lightweight material in modern guns? I like the term gun porn (quotes omitted)... but talking about that is a slippery slope, no doubt.
"Ground Control to Major Tom..."
How about "The Man who fell to Earth"? It's a good story but, I don't care what the critics say, Bowie CAN'T act - and anybody who says different is my emmaknee (and I'm likely to start flaming them here).
-
The topic of guns, in of itself, is not the issue.
But, there ya go. Way off topic. :)
See, this thread is doomed. :D

His cameo in "extras" was great though :D

I'm a music fan. Ive never been a big fan of him although I like the Ground Control to Major Tom song. I'm more of a Hank Williams (all 3) meets Smashing Pumpkins. He just always seemed odd..
-
so how about those Red Sox :uhoh

Odd? A sometimes gay sometimes cross dressing British drama/music guy with at least one notable period of drug addiction in his past? In some ways, it's almost cliche...
