Because those who served with him are calling him that.

I hate war, and I hate what war brings. But you don't go around calling a POW a deserter. Ever.

Unless he is one.

If he was one, why did they promote his rank?

It's terrible that men lost their lives looking for him, but that's part of a soldier's duties, they were under orders.

Besides that, it hasn't been conclusively proven that those 6 men lost their lives while looking for him. They probably died while doing something else.

I am absolutely livid over the way the right-wing media is behaving over this story.

Apparently they're canceling because too many supporters planned to show up - not because of the Fox News-fueled backlash.

Well this turned out to be incorrect. Apparently they are canceling because Tea Party types bullied the town into canceling:

I guess they think James Garfield, Ulysses Grant, and ZZ Top were in the Taliban too.
