AT LEAST BERGDAHL GOT THE VETERANS' HOSPITAL SCANDAL OFF THE FRONT PAGE

During a press conference in Warsaw, Poland Tuesday [6/3/14] President Obama was asked:

Q   ....I wanted to ask you if you have learned more about the circumstances of Sergeant Bergdahl’s capture, and whether he could be facing punishment given that the Pentagon has concluded that he left his unit?  Also, could you respond to congressional Republicans who say that you violated the law by not notifying them 30 days in advance and that the release or the transfer of the Taliban prisoners could put Americans at risk?  Did your willingness to go around that 30-day requirement signal a new urgency to close Guantanamo now that you’re ending combat operations in Afghanistan?

PRESIDENT OBAMA:  The United States has always had a pretty sacred rule, and that is we don’t leave our men or women in uniform behind.  And that dates back to the earliest days of our revolution.



Nope – we bring them all back and abandon them to die waiting for care from their VA hospital.
