His dad appears to be a barking moonbat as well.
It’s a scam.
Bergdahl willingly became a Taliban pawn, but they came up with a ruse that he was a POW in order to get terrorists released for him.
And Obama and Hegel fell for it, hook, line and sinker.
well now thet the obamites set loose 5 murderous psychopaths in exchange for his loser self, maybe for the first time in his life he can be proud of his country, just like mooch.
Or maybe not.
One can only hope that he opts for extended tourism travels in Syria or Somalia and finds a country he can be proud of
Hailey, ID is in the only county in Idaho that voted owebama in 2008 and again in 2012. It is full of radical libtards and hippies. It is the county of Sun Valley where the rich and famous of hollyweird have their winter “cabins”.
When I saw his father yesterday with the bamster it appeared he was trying to look the part of a talibunny. Then he started speaking Pushtun? What patriotic American father would try to look like his son’s “captors” and learn their language?
There were American soldiers killed while searching for this guy. The whole thing sucks but hey, at least it gets the VA scandal off the front pages, right? Cynical b@stards.
This man is a traitor and should be arrested tried and hung.
“His favorite was Beetle Bailey, the comic-strip antihero who shambles through life in the Army as a permanent f***-up.”
That’s promising. /s
Obama’s strategy to close Gitmo is now obvious. He will let the prisoners go.
Here's a sample:

( the soldier speaking @ 4:29 in this video STG Bowe Bergdahl was captured June 30,2009 )
Sounds like Bergdahl is bucking for the John F Kerry un-American Activities Award.
I did not know the circumstances of his walking into the hands of the enemy. But now I see that the man was basically a deserter that was easily captured during his walk to commune with the Muslims.
BUMP
Officially, Bowe remains a soldier in good standing in the United States Army. He has continued to receive promotions over the past three years, based on his time in uniform, and he now holds the rank of sergeant. Unofficially, however, his status within the military is sharply contested. According to officials familiar with the internal debate, there are those in both Congress and the Pentagon who view Bowe as a deserter, and perhaps even a traitor. As with everything in Washington these days, the sharp political discord has complicated efforts to secure his release.
"The Hill is giving State and the White House shit," says one senior administration source. "The political consequences are being used as leverage in the policy debate." According to White House sources, Marc Grossman, who replaced Richard Holbrooke as special envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan, was given a direct warning by the president's opponents in Congress about trading Bowe for five Taliban prisoners during an election year. "They keep telling me it's going to be Obama's Willie Horton moment," Grossman warned the White House. The threat was as ugly as it was clear: The president's political enemies were prepared to use the release of violent prisoners to paint Obama as a Dukakis-like appeaser, just as Republicans did to the former Massachusetts governor during the 1988 campaign. In response, a White House official advised Grossman that he should ignore the politics of the swap and concentrate solely on the policy.
"Frankly, we don't give a shit why he left," says one White House official. "He's an American soldier. We want to bring him home."
The article keep using the phrase “raw recruits” which sounds like these are not actual well trained infantry soldiers, but kids that we pulled out of basic early, and sent directly to the front.
Required before they could Afghanistan.
Despite the objections to the swap, U.S. officials involved in the negotiations this winter say they were on the verge of completing the deal to free Bowe. The White House had worked up talking points about Bowe, and was ready to go public about the exchange. (According to administration officials, the Pentagon insisted that the talking points note that Bowe had walked off base, to underscore that U.S. soldiers are not an easy target for kidnapping.) But at the last moment, the Taliban themselves balked at the deal, which stipulates that the detainees would not be allowed to leave the country of Qatar after their release. In March, faced with internal opposition over cutting a deal with the Americans, the Taliban abruptly suspended the peace talks. "Bowe Bergdahl has been a topic in any meeting we ever had with the Taliban," says a senior State Department official involved with the negotiations. "The Taliban suspended the talks on March 15th. We have not been in any contact with them since."
Obama, unilaterly, finalized the recent negotiations & swap by caving to the Taliban, only requiring the Gitmo Terrorist stay in Qatar for 1 year.
Noooo; we don’t negotiate with terrorists; we ELECT them!
