Was it worth spending political capitol of the US to have those players released from China after their transgressions? <br /><br />Did they benefit from the experience, did the athletic community benefit from thrir release? 2017-11-14T22:55:09-05:00 CSM Charles Hayden 3092312

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Expend political capital, no. What remains to be seen is what if anything the school does. If they have any.......hangy down thangs....they&#39;ll revoke any scholarships and expel them. Any takers on that bet?

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>CSM Charles Hayden- what political capital did Trump even use? Did he release five Taliban prisoners for their exchange?

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>This was one of those situations where President Trump couldn’t win. He got them released and the Trump haters find fault. Had he not gained their release, they would have blamed him for that. If there is a price to pay, it will be rendered by their school. My guess, slap on the wrist.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>It was China spending their capital to fluff up Trumps massive ego. All our adversaries know that all they have to do to avoid any harsh words or pressure from Trump is play up to his ego, and make him feel special on meaningless things and then they don&#39;t have to worry about the big strategic things.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Lets see Bowe deserted and will serve no time because he had suffered enough. Do we think the athletes in this case did not suffer for shop lifting?
