There are pigs who lie you into war, and there are pigs who profit off war, and there are even war pigs who start wars just for kicks.
But when it comes to the utter banality of evil and the liquid pools of festering shit that sometimes passes for human brains, it would be hard to top "Colonel Ralph Peters," a monstrous piece of scum that actually went on O'Reilly's Echo Chamber of the Damned and literally called for the execution of a captured US soldier.

For once we can all agree with the Pentagon and a bipartisan group of legislators - this Chickenhawk coward, this pathetic piece of shit, who despite an Army career as a spook, never once was in a combat zone - for this brazen piece of psycho-pathological bile to call for a captured soldier's murder is simply unforgivably beyond the pale.
To put this squirming bit of protozoan cancer back on TV and allow him to defend his spoken-word vomit is abhorrent beyond even this jaded cynic's belief.

According to NBC’s top Pentagon correspondent, the Department of Defense is furious with Fox News analyst Ralph Peters, who said on July 19 that the Taliban should murder 23-year-old Private First Class Bowe Bergdahl, captured after he strayed from his post, to save the Army “legal hassles and legal bills.”
Peters, a well-known Neoconservative and frequent Fox News guest, attempted to clarify his shocking statement on Tuesday night’s O’Reilly Factor, telling right-wing host Bill O’Reilly he believes that Bergdahl had “deserted” his unit and deserved no sympathy. He did not apologize. O’Reilly added that Bergdahl must be “crazy.”
However, Wednesday night MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow fired back, interviewing Jim Miklaszewski, NBC’s top Pentagon correspondent, who said the Department of Defense is furious with Peters and Fox News, adding there is no evidence that Bergdahl is a deserter.
Peters’ and O’Reilly’s insidious comments drew a sharp reaction from a bipartisan group of 22 veteran members of Congress, who all signed a letter demanding Fox News CEO Roger Ailes apologize to Bergdahl’s family for allowing a guest on his network to provide “aid and comfort” to America’s enemies.
“Mr. Peters’ indefensible comments call into question, without any supporting evidence whatsoever, PFC Bergdahl’s patriotism and commitment to his country, and suggest in a non-subtle way that he deserved to be captured,” they wrote. “The truth is that Mr. Peters’ words give more aid and comfort to the enemy…and put PFC Bergdahl at additional risk of harm.”
Congressman Eric Massa (D-NY), a former Navy commander who joined the 22 members of Congress in signing the letter, went a step further and called on Fox News to fire both O’Reilly and Peters.
“Their comments aid and abet our enemies during a time of war and the burden is on Fox News to prove that they reject this by taking the tangible action of issuing an apology and firing both of them,” he wrote.
Jim Miklaszewski, NBC’s Pentagon correspondent, told Maddow on Wednesday night that Bergdahl “came off patrol on June 30th, dropped off his weapon, his body armor, grabbed up a bottle of water, a compass and a knife and took off out on his own. It was sometime after that, apparently, that some local militants grabbed him and turned him over to the Taliban.”
“Should he have left the post alone?” Miklaszewski asked. “Of course not. But that doesn’t make him a deserter.”
