The question has to be, if this kid walked away from his post and if he is indeed a deserter, then do you risk other American lives to go get him?

Unless the Taliban is stupid, and I don't think they are, they have a pretty strong propoganda piece right now, there's no real requirement to kill him. If he's willing to sell out in a few short days, then they might as well taliban the kid right now. "Hey junior, you'll live a lot longer if you start praying to Allah and chanting death to america on this tape"

I don't think unless your reading deep between the lines that this analyst was praying or preaching to the Taliban to kill him, to me it was more along the line of keep him, we're not going out of our way to rescue him.
