So many of these posts are trying to pick sides on this issue. By posting on the code of conduct, by posting on whatever network and it is not political in anyway.

This is a milestone for many involved or not involved and is a matter of american interest and should be discussed openly. Everyone is glad a son is home with his family, but it is not black and white and news reports dating back years before this occured questioned a lot even then.

Also remember if you will this family for one whose son also lived by the code of conduct...

"The deal that got Bowe Bergdahl released in exchange for five high-ranking Taliban detainees doesn't sit right with the family of an Army lieutenant killed in an ambush while searching for the missing sergeant.

"He was killed while looking for this deserter," said Andy Andrews, father of 2nd Lt. Darryn Andrews, who died in eastern Afghanistan in September 2009.

"If this guy [Bergdahl] had not gone off post, our son would not have been killed."

This goes into great detail on how this family is suffering through this. EVERYONE should look at the entire story and all sides of this issue.
