I plan to live forever, of course, but barring that I'd settle for a couple thousand years. Even 500 would be pretty nice.

I apologize for bringing up the Bergdahl issue again, but why have POW negotiations (there are still some civs left) with the Taliban been so difficult and lop-sided? I've been trying to look into the history of the Bergdahl deal and it appears that a key part of releasing so many high-level Taliban in exchange for Bergdahl was to aid the reconciliation process. I haven't found much relating to this particular topic in the thread since people here seem to be focusing on Bergdahl's character which is irrelevant to me because you don't leave soldiers behind. I want to be able to give a strong argument against those who say that Obama is not doing enough to bring POWs back home.

The right is mostly losing their poo poo about the release of the Taliban members from what I've seen, they don't care that much about Bergdahl himself besides the usual "slander everything Obama does". Essentially they want the US to arrest every single Arab who even might be a terrorist and lock them up in secret torture prison forever. Letting even 5 of them out, for any reason at all, is unacceptable. That's the fundamental problem, and assuming the people you're talking with are true believers like it sounds, you're not going to convince them otherwise
