WASHINGTON (AP) - The only American solider held prisoner in Afghanistan has been freed from Taliban captivity in exchange for the release of five Afghan detainees from the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Obama administration officials said Saturday.

Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl was handed over to U.S. special forces by the Taliban Saturday evening, local time, in an area of eastern Afghanistan, near the Pakistani border. Officials said the exchange was not violent and the 28-year-old Bergdahl was in good condition and able to walk.

Wow, amazing, great to hear...Now, if we can stop invading other countries for their principles, and just guard our borders, as Constitution states,we wouldn't have these issues, everybody would be here safe......If we stop being the aggressor, any chance they will leave us alone... or do we have to be like the Zionist Sheldon Adelson and take over the world, but internet poker is banned..

Mods, can you please remove this political shit from the offshore? I know I've spent 18 months of my life in Afghanistan so clowns like this can express their views but it belongs in the political forum. Thanks.

Agreed. If someone posts something like this then it is pretty tough for reasonable people not to respond leading to an endless Akp style circle jerk.

Actually no..... I have no problem with people discussing politics in this forum...... but BAS has said we cant do it..... so when someone starts spouting off about Zionists and reasonable people are not allowed to respond..... then the original post should go.

That's great moron, you're Jewish. Zionism = the right of Jews to an independent state. A Jew hater hates Jews. An anti-Zionist hates Jewish Independence. So congrats on being a self-hating Jew. Or a liar.



RR this shit!

Not at all. Thread is about Bowe Bergdahl not politics. That simple. You haven't served so I don't expect you to understand.

So people who haven't served can't have opinions?

 

[PatsFan1283]

no political opinions can be expressed in the offshore forum anymore?

What if I post that I'm for world peace and ending global poverty?

 

[Enfuego]

Sure they can. But the offshore isn't the forum for those opinions. That's why we have a poly forum.

Banned 7 days

So we're only allowed to have opinions where you allow us to?

It's the mod rules, not mine.

Personally I think it is a dumb rule..... but it is the mods rule so I am not sure what it has to do with you or me.
