Based on the logic you just expressed, had we captured bin Laden alive it would make sense to release him in order to get Bergdahl. You drew absolutely no line at which other, more compelling concerns would outweigh your stated priority of bringing back a deserter who got captured. I did. By releasing the Taliban high command, Obama put American lives at risk in a way that was not worth getting back the one POW. I have repeatedly said that I do not fault the commitment of the military to bring back soldiers, only the price. It was far too high and without justification.

The rest of your response is beneath me to reply to.
