>>> one of your wingnut colonels is encouraging the taliban to kill the soldier they have captive

This is not what he said. Apparently, there is reason to believe the guy was a deserter. Walking away without his weapon is a very strange thing; most soldiers would sooner walk away without their right arms.

But what the colonel said is that if the guy turns out not to be a deserter, that's one thing, but if he is a deserter, the Taliban could save us time and money. Can't argue with it.

I don't think it would be to the military's advantage to be suggesting the guy is a deserter if there weren't some pretty good evidence to that effect.

At any rate, what you said wasn't true. As usual.
