3. The most horrific crime a nationalist can commit is to separate himself...

From national collective consciousness; to do what is expressly forbidden by the state and to express individual identity and intent outside of the bounds of constructed patriotism

The expected punishment for such a crime is death because they cannot conceive a greater punishment than being physically forsaken by the state. The nationalists who view him as a deserter want him dead. And the idea of him dying at the hands of the enemy serves to feed their own fantasy driven masturbation as well as validate their hatred of the enemy.

Never mind that the 5 people who left Gitmo had been incarcerated for over a decade, had likely been hunger striking and had been force fed, and were in extremely fragile health.

Never mind that every rotten story they've told about Bergdahl has fallen apart within a couple of days, exposing them not only as liars, but as damned, filthy liars.

It's a way to gin up all the morons out there, so they'll take it.

They won't stop this shit until they are stopped.

8. Bergdahl was supposed to die in captivity.

That was the plan. Trading Gitmo prisoners was forbidden, no one was going to send helicopters and commandos into Pakistan to free him, and the Haqqanis/Taliban weren't just going to nicely give him a plane ticket home. The anger is because the White House and the DoD and State Dept. managed to pull off a pretty huge and successful operation in a totally airtight manner that thwarted the plan to let Bergdahl die. Dianne Feinstein didn't get a second chance to deny this soldier a chance for freedom with her leaky-ass stupid mouth, and boy, she's pissed.
