Yeah Time, we should have left him there after the war was over because that's what the assholes in the goparty of Hypocritical assholes want. Next?

[elias49]

1. Disgusting! nt

[Cha]

5. Disgustingly Disgusting!

[randys1]

177. It is official, america no longer deserves any respect from anyone

[Renew Deal]

2. Controversy sells

[Cha]

12. Especially exposing themselves as hard hearted ignorant assholes.. Sells. "Was he

worth it "

[GP6971]

3. Disgusting. n/t

[blue neen]

4. Disrespectful on Time's part.

Just my humble opinion.

[Cha]

14. Very Disrespectful, blue neen! Callously so.

[NightWatcher]

6. Wow, shitting on the troops and their families, nice move pukes

[Cha]

18. I know.. you have to wonder wtf were they thinking!? $$$$$$? Mercenaries.

[Dawson Leery]

7. Time named Rudy G their person of the year in 2001.

Time named Beyonce as one of the most influential people.

Time Magazine is toilet paper.

[Cha]

20. they got it horribly wrong again and I hope the get a Lot of Pushback, Dawson!

[Art_from_Ark]

31. I haven't had much respect for TIME

since at least the '80s. It's little more than People disguised as a news magazine.

[lastlib]

80. (my loathing of their rag goes back to their defense of Nixon's Cambodia invasion.....

...and their cheerleading for the Kent State Massacre. I wouldn't wipe my ass with that rag! )

[Art_from_Ark]

86. I didn't realize that TIME had supported the Cambodia invasion

and the Kent State Massacre. I just started reading it during the Reagan years, and it was bad enough then.

[IrishAyes]

79. Agreed.

Even if they just meant to be provocative to engage people, it would've been grossly inappropriate.

[former9thward]

123. The named Obama person of the year in 2008 and 2012.

Were they toilet paper then?

[Baitball Blogger]

8. Right-wingers have no idea how they have chipped away at our American ideals.

No clue. I've said it before. They are like an auto-immune disease.

[Cha]

24. They are dense and wouldn't care if they did know.. at least we are here to recognize and fight

it, BB.

[LisaLynne]

9. That's just sick

WTF is wrong with people?

[Cha]

26. That's how it struck me, LisaLynne!

[mnhtnbb]

10. Geeze, support the troops much?

I hope they have millions of unsold copies.

A$$hole$.

[Cha]

28. A$$$$hole$, Right, mnhtnbb! Please let them get sooo much Negative Pushback! nm

[DonCoquixote]

11. a good place to put this poster

right by every damned army recruitment center!

[BrotherIvan]

108. Exactly!

The number one promise that we make to our service people is that we will bring them home -- no matter what. Now they're admitting they'll only try if they really, really like you. Every person who's thinking of enlisting should take a good long time to think about that.

[tomm2thumbs]

113. G O O D . . . . . I D E A ! ! ! !

'Our Troops... Let 'em Rot' should be next month's edition

[Cha]

126. Yep!

[Overseas]

187. K&R!

[JoePhilly]

13. TIME isn't worth it ... which is why I stopped reading it years ago.

[FarPoint]

15. Well...Democrats in Congress have been weak and never really fighting for we the people.

A united front just never happens. The GOP beats us in that category hands down. This is the fall out from spineless disease.

[tularetom]

16. Was John McCain "worth it"?

He's gonna be all over the Sunday talk shows spewing his bullshit about this release.

I'm not into making value judgments, but IIRC McCain was freed as part of a prisoner exchange with the Viet Cong.

Was his freedom a good thing? For who?

The president was right on target, he is an American soldier, he was in distress, we had an opportunity to get him released and we took it. If the republicans don't like it they can kiss his ass (I'm paraphrasing here, Obama would never say that).

[Cha]

32. Exactly, tularetom. And, fucking Time is questioning that. nm

[FarPoint]

70. John McCain lacks gratitude pure and simple.

May his dreams be filled nightly of his memories as a POW.

[Cha]

136. I would say so, FarPoint..

[FarPoint]

148. Your photo speaks volumes of reality!

Perfectly explained.

[former9thward]

124. John McCain had nothing to do with the Viet Cong.

The Viet Cong were in South Vietnam. He and all known American POWs were freed at the end of the Vietnam War by the North Vietnamese. History can be your friend.

[MADem]

17. They should just change the name of that rag to CLICKBAIT...or "The Right Wing National Enquirer."

They love to get people riled, and they lean way right.

If Obama had left the kid to die, the headline would have read: ABANDONED--WHY DOES OBAMA HATE THE TROOPS?

[Cha]

36. Instead Time shows off that they hate the Troops because it's the Hypocritical thing to do now. nm

[MADem]

67. I think they'll regret this--I'll bet they were in the throes of printing when a lot of the supposed

"details" about this kid (the desertion note that wasn't, for example--the asshole that told that Big Lie "Waah, I thought I saw it in a report" -- will never be trusted again as a confidential source) were proven to be false, and his unit was revealed as making F Troop look like SEAL TEAM 6.

[Cha]

72. I'm so hoping they regret the shit out of this. Like the President said..

sheshe

[MADem]

90. I am stunned at the armchair Pattons who just don't get that.

I swear, some of these assholes will not feel satisfied unless they get a shot at slapping the guy:

[Cha]

92. Oh dear! Even McCrystal gets it..

General McChrystal Says, "We Don't Leave Americans Behind." Bergdahl Critics Should Listen

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/h-a-goodman/general-mcchrystal-says-w_b_5451332.html

[MADem]

94. It's astounding. But hey, what can we expect from Republicans?

They don't serve....they don't have any knowledge of the culture of the military--all they know about it, they got from lousy, overacted movies with huge noises.

[Whisp]

19. Mean and ignorant as a teabagger.

loathsome Teabagger Time.

[Cha]

49. they're catering to teabaggers, Whisp.. certainly not to critical thinking People. :(

[SunSeeker]

21. Unfuckingbelievable.

Bowe and his parents have suffered so much. Talk about adding insult to injury!

[Cha]

55. It's Unfuckingbelievable on so many levels, SunSeeker.

[alittlelark]

22. OMFG......

[Cha]

57. Precisely, alittlelark. :( nm

[sheshe2]

23. Yes he was.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1017195839

or at least the President thinks so.

Thanks Cha

84. More

[MADem]

91. Fricken GENIUS!!!!!!! nt

[FarPoint]

149. Your the best!

I hope to see this circulate Facebook.

[CincyDem]

27. Step past the ignorance of the question. The answer is...

...of course he was worth "it" (whatever the it was).

Seriously - we recruit these kids of our high school, send the over to die in the sand, and then asshat R's act like we can just wash our hands of the fallout.

Never ever ever leave anyone behind. Sometimes that happens on the battlefield (think of how many Medal of Honor folks got it for bringing someone(s) home). Sometimes, as in this case, is happens years later. Either way - never forget.

So I don't know what their conclusion is and I don't know what they say on the inside but IMHO, the answer to this question is a resounding yes. It's just that simple.

[4now]

29. Spitting on POWs

Its very sad what time has become.

[JI7]

30. why not ? they are excited about getting rid of Shinseki

with their phony concern for the vets. suddenly that news is dropped off .

[steve2470]

35. a real low in journalism nt

[Cha]

46. It's horribly sad, steve.. I hope they get so much negative pushback their mercenary

heads swim. Can you imagine the Bergdahls' reaction?

[steve2470]

51. I hope they do get bad pushback

I'm sure his parents are both furious and very sad about that cover.

[Liberal_Dog]

37. K & R

Holy Shit. I am starting to think that the USA has passed the point of no return.

[RKP5637]

40. I really think it has, there are so many flaming assholes in the USA. Just for the new GOP

to exist, for example, is a good indication of the flaming asshole count in the USA.

[Cha]

52. Time Needs Pushback, Liberal Dog, to show them the Majority are not those People. :( nm

[RKP5637]

38. Nice, shit on the troops again. Nice job, like WTF. God I'm fed up with this

kind of crap.

[Cha]

73. Time Rag=Fox "news". :( nm

[gratuitous]

39. Dear Time Magazine: Could you do us all a favor?

Please go through the roster of active duty military, and let us know who's "worth it." That way, if someone is killed or captured, we can just consult your all-knowing oracle and decide whether that soldier, sailor, pilot or marine is "worth" repatriation. It would save a lot of time and money, and I'm sure it would be a real shot in the arm for troop morale.

Go ahead; we'll wait.

[marble falls]

41. Something that makes one ask, "WTF?"

[onehandle]

42. What's a magazine? nt

[Cha]

76. Fish wrap trying to make itself relevant, onehandle. nm

[spooky3]

44. Disgusting and offensive. I hope sales are terrible.

[Demeter]

45. I'm hoping there's a massive apology in Time's future

but I'm not holding my breath, either.


And as far as the GOP goes, I think they are going to discover he wasn't worth it; they have shot themselves in vital places attacking this soldier.

[Initech]

47. What's this "liberal media" I keep hearing about?

[rhett o rick]

48. Time Magazine the Fox News in print. Thanks for posting. nm

[RKP5637]

50. The only time I pickup Time is in the dr's office where there is little else to do while

waiting than count ceiling tile holes, and then there is Time Mag, about the same, and useless.

[Hekate]

53. I will never subscribe to TIME again. Period.

That is just vomitous.

They often differ from the crap we get.

What a lousy mag!

[MohRokTah]

81. So according to Time, we now tell our soldiers they will only be retrieved...

based upon public opinion after trial by media.

THIS FUCKING DESTROYS OUR COMPACT WITH THE MILITARY!!!

Basically, the media is out to destroy our military completely. Why would you serve if you run the risk of never being retrieved as a POW simply because public opinion turns against you because a couple fo your mates decides they hated you and made up shit about you?

[mountain grammy]

82. That is truly disgusting. Time was once a great news magazine, now it's a rag.

[octoberlib]

83. Was he worth it? Fuck Time magazine.

Can you imagine how his parents will feel if they see this? Or Bergdahl himself.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

No Soldier Left Behind

Topic of Cancer

If every soldier were brave in battle, we wouldn’t need a word for valor. Yet generals since the time of Saul have confronted the problem of breakdown and desertion. The eminent military historian John Keegan, in his masterpiece The Face of Battle, quoted U.S. military authorities who concluded after World War II that “there is no such thing as ‘getting used to combat’ ... Psychiatric casualties are as inevitable as gunshot and shrapnel wounds.” Some soldiers deal with the pressure by running away—or worse, by switching sides. Which is why Stalin kept a significant share of his guns pointed at the rear of his own army. When President Obama stepped into the Rose Garden on May 31 to announce …

Not much of a hint of what follows, yet I could take a guess from the cover.

[Cha]

97. that should have been on their cover.. "No Soldier Left Behind".. instead of the Disgusting

piece of shit words they have.

thanks she

93. If he had been killed the headline would have read

Now this?

[DemoTex]

98. I've got to avoid this: it has my B/P way too high.

Was HE worth it?
The cost of bringing "Crash" McCain home (remember, it was his errant, accidentally-launched Zuni rocket that started the devastating fire on the USS Forrestal (CVA-59) on 29 July 1967 that killed 134 sailors and injured 161).

(McCain, BTW, was said to have spilled his guts to his North Vietnamese captors. Well, I never criticized that, because - as a veteran of 250 air combat missions, many in Laos at night over the Ho Chi Minh Trail, dodging 37mm, 57mm, SAMs, etc - I probably would have spilled too. But, Sen. McCain should recall the admonishment about glass houses and stones).

99. Use Time magazine as a 'toilet paper'

And, to make it worse of course.. John McCain is whining and lying about Sgt Bergdahl being released Now.

109. someone should make a rubber stamp with 'OF COURSE' on it and stamp all the magazines they can find

what a stupid question -- no wonder Time is so desperate -- they obviously have lost their talent in journalism and now are just trying to become the TMZ of the checkout stand

'Disgusting' doesn't even begin...

116. there needs to be major Pushback on Time's Cover, t2t. It should have read "No Soldier Left Behind"

instead they stupidly went the fox "news" route.

time to process the idiocy and punch to the gut.

[wheniwasincongress]

115. Incredible

We do not know the circumstances around why or if Bergdahl left. We do not know the details of the deaths of the six men who were allegedly looking for Bergdahl. This whole fiasco is so upsetting and even people you might think would be cautious about speaking about Bergdahl aren't.

The same people talking out both sides of their mouth: He should, he shouldn't have, he should, he shouldn't have.

Bergdahl, no matter how imperfect, deserved to be brought home, and Obama did the right thing bringing him home.



All of the squawckers and haters need to have their lives examined. If they aren't perfect, we should send them all to the Taliban.

- Since she's known for her covers.....

Nancy Reid Gibbs (born January 25, 1960) is an American essayist and managing editor for Time magazine, a best-selling author and commentator on politics and values in the United States. She is the co-author with Michael Duffy of The New York Times Bestsellers The Preacher and the Presidents; Billy Graham in the White House (2007) and The Presidents Club: Inside the World's Most Exclusive Fraternity (2012).
...

She joined TIME in 1985 as a part-time fact checker in the International section. She became a writer in 1988 and has written more than 100 cover stories, including the black-bordered special issue on the September 11 attacks, which won a National Magazine Award in 2002.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_Gibbs

[KansDem]

159. I remember back in the late 1960s...

May family subscribed to "Newsweek." I knew there were essentially two weekly magazines: "Time" and "Newsweek." I asked my stepfather why we subscribed to "Newsweek" and not "Time" and his reply left no doubt. I don't remember exactly what he said, but it explained why we didn't subscribe to "Time."

Reading Time Magazine is not.

[madamesilverspurs]

168. He's worth it. TIME isn't.

[Cha]

175. It's a pox on their house they wouldn't even think of such a question, madame. :( nm

[AtheistCrusader]

172. You had me at "F**cking Time Mag"

[Cha]

173. Yep. :(

[lucca18]

174. Time Magazine you disgust me.....Despicable!

What the hell were you thinking!
You are no better than "faux news".

[Cha]

176. Time Warner is no better than faux.. they put out the current Despicable Mad Mag, too.

[meadowlark5]

179. Wow. Was he worth it?

What does one need to do or be to be "worth it" in the eyes of Time Magazine? He's someone's son and brother and friend. He's worth a lot to a lot of people. Fuck Time.

[Cha]

180. Exactly, meadowlark.. "fuck time".

[LeafsFan17]

181. I haven't read the article...

The title seems deliberately provocative. However, it accurately summarizes the debate that is going on over this issue right now.

Does the article itself assert that Bergdahl should have been left behind?

[Cha]

183. I'm not buying their rag to find out. It's a stupid gawd damn question fucking perpetrated by

hypocritical rw assholes. the same with time-warner's Mad mag..



fuck them both.

184. Yet another new low from Time Magazine

I never liked that rag to begin with, but this really takes the cake. Reminds me of when Bush and Rudy Giuliani were chosen as "Man of the Year" by that publication. Yuck.

[Cha]

185. Definitely the gutter for Time, antiGOP. :(

[iamthebandfanman]

186. ugh. n/t

[Overseas]

188. Much better cover -- GOP Disgrace Themselves Over POW Rescue

Show pages of each one's earlier statements calling for his rescue in one column and their opposite statements now.

Have a discussion with Christian leaders on the mechanics of withdrawing their prayers for the POW family, as John Fugelsang suggested this morning. Just how is that done?

Have another section on the merits of trading 1500 missiles for 7 hostages vs 5 Taliban for 1 POW.

And another section on the many Taliban released under Bush Cheney with nothing in exchange.

And another section on whether anyone can call for impeaching a president any more after Bush-Cheney era war crimes were left unimpeached.

189. If I subscribed to Time I would cancel my subscription

This is over the top. A plague on Time!

[Cha]

192. I would do the same, emsimon.. if I bought their rag any more I would tell them.. "no more newsstand

copies for me".

[CAO]

190. Is it worth it if any of those five released fellows are directly responsible for human death...

... in the future?

The idea that the question can't even be asked is silly...

[Cha]

193. That's FEAR BASED.. It's a fucking stupid question from TIME catering to the hypocritical teabaggers

[Cha]

195. No. Of course our Soldier is worth it. Stupid question.

197. Thank you for THIS^^^^^^^^^^, emsimon..

[LeafsFan17]

196. Has anyone actually read this article?

If so, could you please give us a summary?

Is the article actually as bad as the Title makes it sound?

[LeafsFan17]

198. Anyone? Anyone?
