Prisoner Trade Yields Rare View Into the Taliban

The Taliban and the United States took big strides in peace making. The US release five Taliban members in return for a captive US soldier. It was a side that's rarely been seen from the group. It has shown that they are capable of holding to their word. The only backlash with the trade is that it could boost the moral of the Taliban. The proposition had been proposed 3 years ago, but has been a stalemate until now. It has been a long wait for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl who is now home in Idaho with his family.
