We DO negotiate with terrorist, 5 gitmo detainees traded for a American solider.

ain't no need to go off an be a secret agent in afghanistan.

Breh that is the perfect place to be an agent. I swear nikkas forget shyt. Remember we were hunting Bin Laden a couple of years ago? There is demand for intel, not to mention the various war lords that chill there.

This slightly of topic, but the CIA was so serious about getting info about Bin Laden's whereabouts that they offered "Dancing Boys" to the tribal leaders. They are basically kids that the older guys rape and keep as a companion. Extreme activity brehs. CIA aint shyt.

Breh above makes a good point, look at all the contractors in Iraq that were captured, aint nobody negotiated for them nikkas. Nobody gave a fukk.

Naw breh, the wikileaks exposed that demonic activity.

"He points to a cable released today that suggests foreign contractors hired to train the Afghan police force hired young "dancing boys" to entertain them.


"They danced seductively before leering contractor Afghans, and then they were sold to highest bidder for sexual activity. American taxpayer money at work," he said."

I also read about how the CIA gave dancing boys to the tribal leaders in exchange for info about Bin Laden whereabouts.

This is what happens when you allow the tea party/right to bytch about Benghazi for years :thiscac:

goes directly against one of the core (or at least supposed core) of American foreign policy and terror management. Its wonderful he's back with his family. But if a group like the Taliban got hold some actual dignitary they would hold vast amounts of power. Also it undermines the deaths of POWs and hostages that the US never gave a shyt about. Countless journalists (which i don't think truly count because thats done on a volunteer basis), contracted workers, soldiers and just flat out innocents have been taken by many groups and left to die OR may have died before a proper extraction plan could be implemented.

Only thing i can think of is this guys knows alot more than we are being told about

we negotiate with terrorists all the time

 

[tmonster]

lotta dudes died trying to find him

that could have been avoided.

and that has to be has hashed out here in the states

 

[Black Magisterialness]

Under the guise of negotiation we kill the fukk outa terrorists all the time

fixed.

 

[Wargames]

50/50 they either got tracking devices on those guys or they poisoned them on the way out.

Not true.

Allegedly he wandered off base before, and came back. If that's true it'll kill the deserter claims in court.

Uh, leaving and coming back is still desertion. YourE under orders in military. You don't just decide to up and go when it pleases you, especially in a war.

He committed a crime. I don't think it precludes him from being rescued and being sent home, but let's be real here.

 

[Jello Biafra]

yall cant be this stupid u think barry would ruin his legacy like that heres what really happened

Spoiler

its not a coincidence that the news said there was a leak of the guys name in Afghanistans name a couple days ago then they made this swap he was in the cia undercover agent breh his cover was compromised they had to get him up outta here

It is more likely that Pres. Obama has surrounded himself with a staff full of idiots who are not advising him well at all than it is that this was all some sort of super secret agent shadow operation nonsense.

 

[Shogun]

Not true.

Dudes who were there seem to disagree. Unless you evidence that they're lying....

They died doing normal infantry activities:

Still, those villages and insurgents were in the overall area of responsibility for the soldiers, and the logs make clear that the region was an insurgent hotbed. A log on May 21, 2009, for example, said it had historically been a “safe haven” for the Taliban.

A retired senior American military officer, who was briefed at the time on the search for Sergeant Bergdahl, said that even though soldiers were instructed to watch for signs of the missing American, they would have been conducting patrols and performing risky operations anyway.

I know we were in different branches, but I thought it was pretty normal to conduct contact and presence patrols inside your area of operation, regardless of the circumstances. They didn't exactly get on a helo and attempt to extract this man from a house full of insurgents. They were killed doing pretty routine infantry stuff:

Mr. Bethea wrote that of the six men killed in August and September, two died in a roadside bombing while on a reconnaissance mission, a third was shot during a search for a Taliban political leader and three others were killed while conducting patrols — two in an ambush and one who stepped on a mine.

Two of the others were killed standing post.

I'm sure they do think that Bergdahl was the cause of their friends' deaths, but that is most likely not the case. It's a warzone, in one of the most dangerous AOs in the Afghan theater. Casualties are expected.

It is normal to conduct contact and presence patrols, but I was under the impression that they were doing things beyond what was expected of them to find this dude after reading this. We experienced something similar on a deployment. AA mission went to shyt, and we spent a month trying to find them in a "Taliban stronghold" that we were told we'd never operate in. When we first occupied the AO special forces dudes told us they never botheres with this valley because there was no point. Long story short, we ended up doing a bunch of air assaults (like these dudes we're talking about) to find the captured AA guys. Lost some dudes in the process.

From you posted it doesn't seem like that's the case though.
