Here’s what Susan Rice, national security advisor to Barack Obama, had to say when asked by George Stephanopoulos whether Bowe Bergdahl would face punishment for deserting or whether he’s “already paid the price”: “Certainly anybody who’s been held in those conditions in captivity [by the Taliban] for five years has paid an extraordinary price. But that is really not the point; the point is that he’s back. He’s going to be safely reunited with his family. He served the United States with honor and distinction.” Deserting your country and fellow brothers would hardly qualify as honor and distinction – unless you’re part of the Obama administration. Bergdahl is no “hero.”
