While most Americans may not be knowledgeable about the ins and outs of military culture, most Americans nonetheless would be familiar with the tradition that our military does not leave its personnel, be they dead or alive, behind.
Unless, of course, you're the republican party and you're as desperate for a scandal to fire up your base (such are the disadvantages of not having an agenda that can do the same) as a heroin addict is for a full syringe of smack.
The faux republican uproar over President Obama exchanging five enemy combatants for the only American prisoner of war in the Afghanistan War, Bowe Bergdahl, has actually gone beyond the point of being repulsive. Bergdahl may or may not have deserted/committed acts of treason (amazing at how much republicans scream about upholding our Constitution until it's no longer convenient--see also, presumption of innocence), but you would think Obama had exchanged Bergdahl for Hermann Goring. In fact, in their never ending mud slinging at President Obama, Bergdahl is actually worse than a Nazi, because, um, he wasn't friendly with his fellow soldiers and because his father has a beard.
Six million Jews compared to aloofness and facial hair--yeah, that makes a lot of fucking sense.
Frankly, this is just another in a long line of republican bullshit that proves that everything--and I mean everything--that is wrong with America today begins and ends with the republican party and its brain dead minions.
