He's coming home, folks. And the second best part is that Barack Obama didn't have a damned thing to do with it:
A Mexican judge has freed jailed U.S. Marine Andrew Tahmooressi, his family said late Friday.
Tahmooressi, 26, who served two tours of duty in Afghanistan, has been held since March 31, when he said he mistakenly crossed into Mexico with three legally-purchased and registered guns in his truck.
A court-appointed psychiatrist confirmed that Tahmooressi has Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Family spokesman Jonathan Franks said the judge released him without making a determination on the charge against him.
The family issued the following statement: "It is with an overwhelming and humbling feeling of relief that we confirm that Andrew was released today after spending 214 days in a Mexican Jail."
Over/under on the amount of time that will pass until Sergeant Tahmooressi gets a Rose Garden "welcome home"/ hero's welcome ceremony like "Sergeant" Bergdahl did: somewhere between the age of Odin, never, and the end of Barack Obama's presidency (in escalating order).
