Taliban release video of captured U.S. soldier - Afghanistan- msnbc.com: "WASHINGTON - The Taliban released a video Wednesday of a man identified as an American soldier captured in Afghanistan last June, showing him pleading for his freedom and to be returned home.

In the video, Pfc. Bowe Bergdahl says he wants to return to his family in Idaho and that the war in Afghanistan is not worth the number of lives that have been lost or wasted in prison. It is the first he has been seen since the Taliban released a video of him on Christmas Day.

The seven-minute video of Bergdahl shows him sporting a beard and doing a few push-ups to demonstrate he's in good physical condition. There was no way to verify when the footage was taken or if he is still alive."

Can anyone out there tell me why in this day and age why our soldiers are not embedded with chips so that they can be tracked down by satellite when taken hostage like this??

I've never gotten a good answer from anyone on this when I've inquired as to why the world's most advanced military doesn't have a toenail chip or something embedded in all their soldier's bodies that can lead rescuers right to their location? Other than the obvious privacy objections it could be removed once out of the war theatre and the soldier should have a choice, want it  or no? That simple.

Call me crazy but is that not the easiest and smartest way to insure that soldiers taken captive are found within minutes of being abducted, literally minutes, which is when rescuers want to strike, as these events are usually unorganized and these terrorists are winging it" when they have a US or Israeli soldier fall in their laps as many do.

This soldier, Pfc. Bowe Bergdahl ,  has been missing since last June, and now they come with this video saying "oh look he do pushup on camera, he very healthy" and the government and families are supposed to believe he's still alive? 

I pray and hope to God he is, but with these animals they probably made a couple tapes over a couple weeks and killed him last year. They're too poor and too stupid to take care of hostages for a year, sorry to be cold about it but it's true. That costs money that most of these freelancing jihadders just don't have.

But if he were micro-chipped perhaps he'd be alive today along with the other hostages, Nick Berg, Paul Johnson and others that have been captured and butchered like animals, by animals. 

There must be a reason because I can't be the first person to think of this I would hope and pray.
