I have a few…
First of all, throughout this post, and forever more, I will no longer afford this individual the honor or distinction of the title of Sergeant. He is not now, nor ever was a Non-Commissioned Officer. There will be no titles used, written out or in abbreviation, in reference to this individual.
In my opinion it is obvious that he is a deserter and traitor. According to his brothers in arms, he willfully left his post and abandoned his oath and pledge to his country and fellow soldiers at that point. Therefore, he is most certainly a deserter. According to almost all rational accounts, he colluded with the enemy, either under duress and coercion, or of free will (which would be congruent with his previous actions). Therefore he is most definitely a traitor.
As a warrior within the chosen profession of arms, I can identify a career and service to country that would be described as “with honor and distinction.” His actions, behavior, words, tweets, emails, and service do not meet the minimum criteria to be even considered for description as anything more than “dishonorable.” Under Article 85 of UCMJ, Desertion is an aggravated type of unauthorized absence where any member of the armed forces who: (1) without authority, goes or remains absent from his unit, organization, or place of duty with intent to remain away therefrom permanently; or (2) quits his unit, organization, or place of duty with intent to avoid hazardous duty or to shirk important service. The charge of desertion is more aggravated if it is committed in time of war or to avoid hazardous service and is punishable to the maximum extent of the law, even death.
As a guy with a Bachelor’s Degree in Mathematics, I can identify a choice that has already cost many patriotic Americans the ultimate sacrifice and will continue to cost many more Americans their lives in the future. The death toll is and will continue to be much worse than is already being reported by the media. The math is a complex calculation of multiple equations. The total is not only the 6 heroes, the American Soldiers that died in search of the deserter. The total is not only the plethora of unspoken heroes that fought in countless firefights during violent raids to capture the 5 Taliban commanders. The total is not only the numerous patriotic intelligence operators and their sources that paid with their lives to gather the actionable intelligence allowing for the targeting and capture of these 5 Taliban commanders. The total is not only the unfathomable number of Americans that will undoubtedly lose their lives due to the actions of these Taliban commanders with newfound freedom. The total is not only all of the American Soldiers who lost their lives due to improved enemy TTPs (tactics, techniques, procedures) based on information ascertained from him. The total is not only the intelligence released on aircraft, equipment, and personnel during the conduct of the internationally broadcast hostage exchange. The multivariate equation must also include the loss of American treasure. Also, one must (although difficult to quantify) consider the immeasurable cost of American prestige across the global spectrum in all fronts, DIME/PMESII (Diplomatic, Information, Military, and Economic, and Political, Military, Economic, Social, Information, and Infrastructure).
As a Special Forces operator within the elite regiment of quiet professionals, I can identify a douche bag. He is unmistakably a d-bag, cut from that same dirty cloth that his father is. That fucktard (his father) needs to take his white trash scraggly 5-year beard to a country where growing a beard means something (i.e. a Muslim country) and see how much Pashtu it will take to talk the cocks out of his ass. These two cock blasts need to be exchanged back to the Taliban, in order to promptly receive a true Muslim jihad, receiving ass poundings and skull fuckings from Afghanistan and Pakistan to Yemen and Somalia. Maybe I can speak to Putin and get Russia to throw in Snowden to create a tri-sexual cornucopia of epic fagdom.
