I'd vote for Frank Underwood in a heartbeat, now.

Kevin Spacey, playing Frank Underwood in this Netflix series.

I was making a facetious commentary about the state of our current leadership. Maybe another actor can help straighten things out.

The unfortunate thing for the administration is how hamhandedly they handled the entire thing. Anyone who's served I the army in the last half decade could have told them that trying to make a hero out of Bergdahl wasn't going to end well.


^ This.  I mean, I don't see how you pick Bergdahl as someone to get behind.  Stupid.   :idiot2:

So Bergdahl was going to walk to the nearest base (alone, without his kit, mind you) to report that (wait for it) his platoon wasn't wearing their eye pro.

I would imagine it is already obvious there were discipline issues in his platoon because a private walked off and deserted to the enemy, AND HE DIDN'T EVEN TAKE HIS OWN EYEPRO!

I'm sure that will fly at the court martial.

Great investigative reporting there, CNN  >:(.

Yes, but more importantly...was he wearing his safety belt?
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

That's the question the court martial needs to determine. If he was wearing his reflective belt he couldn't possibly have been acting contrary to discipline. In fact, those things make you invulnerable to danger, so maybe his story holds water...

Doesn't make up for Manning, but at least 0bama didn't pardon Bergdahl too.

That's good. And he didn't pardon that traitor hiding in Russia either.

Regardless of how good a PC game may be it will always have its detractors and no matter how bad a PC game may be it will always have its fans.
