We Gave Up 5 Hardened Terrorists For Him?

At first glance, I was going to give President Obama the benefit of the doubt about trading 5 terrorists for 1 U.S. soldier.  After all, Israel does it all the time.
But then Obama broke a law that he signed and I decided it was a bad deal because he didn't follow the law, which sends a horrible message to everyone in the United States who does follow the law.
And then there is this, from the New York Post:
Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, the last known American POW, was freed after five years in captivity — an ordeal that began and ended in Afghanistan under a shroud of mystery.
The Taliban turned over Bergdahl Saturday morning to US special forces in exchange for five notorious Islamic militants who had been held at Guantanamo Bay and will be sent to Qatar, where they will stay for a year under the terms of the trade....
Bergdahl’s mysterious disappearance from the small military outpost there and the subsequent revelation that he was in enemy hands prompted questions that still linger.
Soon after the capture, Taliban commander Mulvi Sangeen claimed a drunken Bergdahl was snatched while he stumbled to his car in the Yousaf Khel district of Paktika.
The US military called that a lie, and in one of the videos taken during his captivity, Bergdahl himself said he was captured while lagging behind a patrol.
But in the weeks before his capture, Bergdahl had made murky statements that suggested he was gravitating away from the soldiers in his unit and toward ­desertion, a member of his platoon told Rolling Stone.
“He spent more time with the Afghans than he did with his platoon,” former Spc. Jason Fry told the magazine in 2012....
Bowe Bergdahl would detail his disillusionment with the Afghanistan campaign in an e-mail to his parents three days before he went missing.
“I am sorry for everything here,” he wrote. “These people need help, yet what they get is the most conceited country in the world telling them that they are nothing and that they are stupid.”
Bergdahl also complained about fellow soldiers. The battalion commander was a “conceited old fool,” he said, and the only “decent” sergeants, planning to leave the platoon “as soon as they can,” told the privates — Bergdahl then among them — “to do the same.”
“I am ashamed to be an American. And the title of US soldier is just the lie of fools,” he concluded. “I am sorry for everything. The horror that is America is disgusting.”  http://nypost.com/2014/05/31/the-bizarre-tale-of-americas-last-known-pow/
There has to be some truth to this, if you think about this.  If he hadn't these views, if he was against the Tailban, why would is he still alive?  He would be dead if he a true soldier fighting the Taliban.
So, Obama gave up 5 terrorists for a traitor.
Why am I not surprised?
