Calloused to Immoral Leadership
Tony Perkins: “Now that [Bowe] Bergdahl’s case is being referred to the military’s version of a grand jury, the person most Americans are holding in contempt is the man responsible for the deal in the first place: the President. For the White House, this is not just another messy PR embarrassment. This is a real national security threat. President Obama’s act of trading five known terrorists for a known deserter – without consulting Congress – probably would have toppled previous administrations. But unfortunately, we’ve been forced to walk through so much incompetence these last six years that we’ve almost become calloused to poor and immoral leadership. These six soldiers who were killed trying to find Bergdahl were sons, brothers, husbands, and fathers. And their sacrifice was rewarded by a President who traded five of the most dangerous terrorists, who others had previously fought to stop, for a man who turned his back on his country and his fellow soldiers. If this is the President’s idea of a good deal, then Americans should be sweating bullets over his negotiations with Iran.”
