His dad stresses the point his son has done nothing illegal or against the US government. The fact he was involved with the hardline foreign Taliban involved in the prison riot doesn't really support that.
His dad was very classy. He said he knew his son had made poor decisions and emphasized his families love for and support of America. He says he wants to know where his son is, and when his family can meet with him but understands it's a difficult question for the US.
Sorry, dad, the argument doesn't wash. Had that been
my kid I would be ashamed, not proud. Let the treasonous boy take full responsibility for his actions.
