Which of the three is he?
POW, hostage, or what we call the Taliban since they have no official gov't uniform?
If Bergdahl had one and forsook it, which of the thrre is he?
Is having had one and forsaking it - if this o ccured- the same as never having an official uniform?

Why did they promote him twice and almost a third time?

Would the opposing side consider Bergdahl an EC then?
Just curious what BB will be deemed to be as the weeks unfold....

It was a premeditated act of defection.
He mailed home his belongings, left under cover of darkness, and sought out the enemy.

Lets say we are at war in the future, and a person defects and does more- they join the other side......
No way they could then be a POW..
To: Ray76
Why then are most media calling this a prisoner swap as in one POW for another?
To: Laissez-faire capitalist
Would the Taliban 5 and BB both be enemy combatants?
To: Laissez-faire capitalist
He is a deserter first, traitor second and property third.
He was held for the sole purpose of extorting the USA for a trade of people and money.
Why did we send the USS Constitution and The Enterprise to Tripoli?

I think there are millions of us wondering the same thing.

Name Rank Serial Number is POW Conduct. With these assholes it will get your head cut off.
They fed clothed and housed this fuckwad for FIVE years. They would not have done that unless he provides them with something of value.
= Collaborator = Traitor. QED.

my understanding is.
(the opinion of the DoD is)
the Taliban are not a country,
they are a non-state armed group. —>
Bergdahl did not have ‘POW’ status
....................
please correct me if I am wrong.

Several sources said that he was never categorized as a POW, but who knows?
As happens so often with the media, the most simple things become uncertain and unknown.

Four: The Army promoted him. Any conduct was acceptable.

If he wasn't a POW, how did he get promoted? there is a name that goes with this question. If there was a reporter then we might know.

the Army, like the other services...
has a ‘promotion-cycle kind of thing’
from time to time, you get either...
promoted, not promoted, or terminated.
BB, as a courtesy, got promoted in-abstentia
when his turn came around.

It is what the MSM wants. He should be executed for treason and leaving his post.

What we have here is often called a conundrum, or a confusing dilemma.
To: RockyTx
It still takes a four star to approve this.
