| I actually don't see any fault with the what Lt. Col is saying. To the Lt. Col's point, if he is a deserter, I am less sympathetic to his cause. Like the Lt. Col, I will reserve my judgement until all the facts are clear but walking off by himself into the night is stupid. Now he is going to put special forces in harm's way and a lot of resources will be used to get him back. |

The problem is not with what he's saying, but how he presented his concerns. If you're somewhat sceptical about the whole thing, and you think the guy is a deserter, cool, feel free to add an observation after you make your point. Had he done that, I'd defend him. The problem is that the guy overemphasised something that has not been confirmed yet.
For Fox's sake, doesn't he know what the word "tact" means!? |

| Why would any sane American want to desert in Afghanistan? Where the would they go? They're surrounded by insurgents. |

I think it is a little extreme. I agree the dude has caused a bunch of resources to be spent, but to say that the guy basically deserves to die? |

I wouldn't go so far as saying they are surrounded by them, as much as people distrusting of Americans. |
