The exchange of Sergeant Bergdahl has been
Controversial to say the least;
And the former fervor of some politicians
For the soldier’s return has greatly decreased.
Our military has a basic motto:
Never leave a soldier behind.
Those who are critical of Bergdahl’s exchange
Ought to keep this motto in mind.
As more information comes to light
And courts decide where the soldier stands,
At least he’s no longer being held captive—
Languishing in Taliban hands.
A swap of five Guantánamo detainees
For one soldier—the critics have said—
Places our country in greater danger
Of further terrorist acts ahead.
Just FIVE detainees put us in danger?
That number’s extremely understated.
Since our involvement in Bush’s wars,
THOUSANDS of terrorists have been created!
