“You want it from the horses’ mouth?? Here ya go,” says a Free Republic commenter speaking about the latest mainstream media darling, Bowe Bergdahl. Whether this is a factual account from someone actually on the scene with Bergdahl’s unit in Afghanistan is something readers must decide for themselves. But information gleaned from a growing number of sources must make Americans question the honor and veracity of Bowe Bergdahl and, at the very least, the judgment of Barack Obama.
”We were at OP Mest, Paktika Province, Afghanistan. It was a small outpost where B Co1-501st INF (Airborne) ran operations out of an infantry platoon and ANA counterparts there.” (1)
He goes on: “The place was an Afghan graveyard. Bergdahl had been acting a little strange, telling people he wanted ‘TO WALK THE EARTH’ (my capitalization) and kept a little journal talking about how he was meant for better things… .He was a little ‘OUT THERE.’” “Next morning, he’s gone...

“Whether this is a factual account from someone actually on the scene with Bergdahl’s unit in Afghanistan is something readers must decide for themselves.”
Rumor and conjecture. As a former Prosecutor, I had many cases where Defense attorneys used that instead of waiting for the facts ... much to their peril.
All of this may be true. However, we do best to wait and see. Or ... get burned horribly.
Ping: Coach referenced a post by you; see above.
There sure seem to be a lot of anonymous “I was there when Bergdhal defected” posts.
Thanks for pinging me to that. That's not really accurate though. I didn't say that I merely copied & pasted it from the thread I linked to and it was copied or linked there from another source. I made no comment in that post FWIW.
Thanks again for the heads up though!
Can you link us to one?
Well there's this one. There's a post from Michelle Malkin with all sorts of anonymous quotes: Link. Here's another. And another. And another. I just find it odd that nobody is willing to go on record.
I don’t find it odd that no one is willing to go on record. We all know that the IRS will target anyone who identifies himself, and that even those who are honest could get crushed in the IRS enthusiasm to please the thug in our White House.
That doesn’t mean that this account is genuine, just that the insistence on anonymity is understandable even in a truthful report.
What one? The one cited in this article? My post? I debunked that in post #7. Those are not my words and the original source is not anonymous. Your first link is full of names of the sources. The third link isn't by an anonymous soldier it's a Pentagon report. So that leaves you with link #2.

2 soldiers that served with Bergdahl spoke on The Kelly File on FoxNews a couple of nights ago and they pretty much said the same things about him defecting. She is supposed to have more soldiers that served with him on Thursday night’s show.
That will be interesting to see if they all say the same things.

When you post a comment like that is sure sounds like you are talking about FR posts not posts all over the internet.
Dear Suzanne,
You are an idiot. That post was not authored by a freeper.
