Bowe Bergdahl, the U.S. Army sergeant who pleaded guilty Monday to deserting his post in Afghanistan in 2009, says his Taliban captors were more “honest” with him than the Army has been since his release three years ago.

“At least the Taliban were honest enough to say, ‘I’m the guy who’s gonna cut your throat,’ ” Bergdahl tells British TV journalist Sean Langan in an interview with the Sunday Times Magazine of London headlined "The Homecoming from Hell."

Langan, too, is a former Taliban hostage.

Bergdahl, 31, from Hailey, Idaho, says he never quite knew where he stood with the Army as he performed “administrative duties” while awaiting his desertion trial.....

So the freakin army never killed him, and he still complains? This is rediculous.

Send him back. I’m serious. If he really has more respect for the taliban, let him.go back, rather than be subjected to our allegedly inhumane treatment.

They should have left him with the Taliban.
We would have bombed him sooner or later.

Instead the Kenyanesian Usurper released dangerous terrorists to secure his release and the search for his sorry as cost us blood.

You’re right, execute him.

When you are in a hole it is wise to stop digging. But Bergdahl cannot help himself. He wanted to go to the Taliban. And obviously still believes in them. I thought the punishment for desertion was execution?? When will that happen? (Because I am sure that the next time a Dem is elected to be President [please God, don’t let it happen], that Dem will pardon Bergdahl)

[ “At least the Taliban were honest enough to say, ‘I’m the guy who’s gonna cut your throat,’” ]

I’m all for a fund-raiser to send you back on a one-way ticket. Shoot, we can get folks to bake cookies and sell them. Of course, they would proudly display him.

If they’re not going to execute this traitor, he should be locked away in solitary where no one hears from him ever again.

he’s bitching because, after he deserted, the army treated him like a deserter. it obviously surprised him.

You want to talk about being honest you POS? How about your obvious untruths when you took this oath:

"I, Robert Bowdrie Bergdahl , do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."

Given what Obama’s perfumed and cross-dressing princes(ses) have been turning our magnificent Army into, Bergdahl may have a point.

He was following the implicit orders of the President, who was, and continues to be an enemy islamist pig-dog. Then an ILLEGAL poser to that position.

The meeting with bergdahl’s parents, and the release of five hardened islamic terrorists for this POS proves at least the first part.

The lad’s confused. Just because they didn’t blow in his ear first ... he thought it was true love.

Well, you ignorant piece of shit...are you not smart enough to realize you were being held in abeyance for political purposes?

You stupid son of a bitch...if Hillary would have won, depending on the polls, you'd have either been thrown to the wolves to make her look good or you'd have been pardoned to make her look good.

Either way, obama screwed you...which is not to say you should not have been screwed, but just not for liberal progressive bullshit.

Suffer, asshole, suffer every day and reflect on the good men that sacrificed to bring your stupid ass back.

You may give your heart to Jesus now, you silly turd, your ass belongs to the men that are back in charge (well, some of them) and your traitorous ass is going to jail, where it should be.

Period.

I just wish we could send that muslim piece of shit obama and that slut-pig hillary with you.

Sucks to be you...but who gives a damn.

Oh, and your mama and daddy...too bad your mama gave up her pride for obama and your daddy went down the rabbit hole, but, oh well...as they say, shit happens.
