Re: Taliban prisoner swap was ILLEGAL claims GOP as former federal prosecutor says it
I think this kid was very impressionable, and I think his Father helped to coach him right off that base and into the first Taliban outpost.
If you read the E-mails between him and his Father it's like his Dad was building him up, affirming his twisted and growing anti US sentiments.
Once the Taliban got him, he was all too willing to help them in anyway possible.
I'm not trying to justify what he did, and he should pay for the crime of desertion and maybe worse but it seems this kid was pretty easy to manipulate.
