“I make absolutely no apologies for making sure we get back a young man to their parents,” Obama said in a news conference in Brussels.

“This is not some abstraction. This is not a political football. We have a couple of parents whose kid volunteered to fight in a distant land, who they hadn’t seen in five years and weren’t sure if they would ever see again,” the president said. “I am responsible for those kids.”

BS.  Since when do you take responsibility for anything?

Are you going to take responsibility for the "kids" that get killed by the Taliban nutjobs you just released?

Hagel was stupid for taking the job. It was clear to me any blow back on ANYTHING relating to the military would land in his lap. The fact that Hagel calls himself a republican is more salt in the wound for me........idiot lib.

I would almost bet that Hagel took the job only after some guaranteed benefit from a big Obama donor.

As usual, Obama hides below deck lets the deck hands bear the brunt of the storms. However, Obama is riding the Titanic...

Hagel has been hyper-vehiculated already? Seems like the job description for almost every senior Obama MALAdministration job includes "... and scapegoat."

Hagel is slow, he should've known not to tangle with this administration. Typical Democrats, never taking the responsibility. Obama will now say he first heard about the exchange in the NYT, and all the DUmmies will believe him.

No worries, he'll likely resign on a Friday afternoon in the near future.  Listening to his testimony right now is almost painful.

I saw the start of it on the news, but he was so full of bullshit trying to seize the moral high ground that I couldn't stand it.  The whole point about Bergdahl never having been charged is just administrative trickery, he normally would have been once it was clear he left on his own, it's just that either higher-ups in the political or military hierarchy decided he was more useful as a martyr than if he was treated like a Soldier going over the wall anywhere outside Afghanistan.
