Baker on Bergdahl: I’m Sorry He Suffered at the Hands of the Taliban; He Did It Because of His Own Actions

‘Maybe I’m living in a different world, but I used to think there were consequences for actions this serious’

RUSH EXCERPT:

BAKER: "Again, at the core of this, I get it. I'm sorry he suffered at the hands of the Taliban, but he did it because of his own actions, because he deserted. Maybe I'm living in a different world, but I used to think there were consequences for actions this serious. Maybe we've adjusted our culture and our society, it is all part of this idea that personal responsibility does not matter that much, consequences aren't what they used to be. I'm not saying he should have been thrown into prison for life. No. How do we justify this?"
