'A cover up just like Benghazi': Outraged parents of officer who died hunting for 'deserter' ...
The Daily Mail Online ^ | June 2, 2014 | Daniel Bates

Posted on 06/02/2014 11:34:08 AM PDT by Uncle Chip

The furious parents of an officer who they claim was killed while searching for freed Taliban prisoner Bowe Bergdahl today said that they have been lied to as part of a ‘cover up just like Benghazi’.

The mother and father of Second Lieutenant Darryn Andrews are angry that they have been told different stories about how their son died.

First his commanders said that their son was blown up while hunting a Taliban commander - but only now that Bergdahl has been freed after five years in captivity are they learning the truth.

Lt Andrews’ parents told MailOnline that their own son branded Bergdahl a ‘deserter’ before he was killed.

In an exclusive interview his father Andy Andrews told MailOnline: ‘For his family it’s good to get him back but we will never be able to get our son back because of the actions of this guy (Bergdahl).

‘I think people need to be aware that the guy was not a hero and American lives have been lost trying to save this deserter’....

Top brass told his parents, Sondra and Andy, that he had been looking for a top Taliban commander

Well, Lt Darryn Andrews (who received a posthumous Silver Star) probably WAS looking for a top Taliban informer...

So we traded 5 terrorists for this pos traitor? About the only thing I would have been willing to give for the five murdering terrorists is Obama.

We are ashamed he is American, too.

actually we traded the 5 pos from GITMO being treated better than our vets PLUS the precious 6 military who died looking for this traitor.

Also, on this same topic, have you seen photos of the dear parents, seen or heard that they said the son would not remember how to speak English. Say WHAT? Who paid for the parents trip to join zippy for the photo op?

Call your rep and senator NOW.

It would be a deal for us to release all the terrorists in GITMO if we could trade them for Hussein Obama. Only string attached is that they keep him.

As a poster commented at the article site, “This is just another one of Obama’s shiny objects,” designed to distract.”

Original title is:

I had to excerpt the title to fit it in.

The bullet point summary at beginning of article:

Top brass told his parents, Sondra and Andy, that he had been looking for a top Taliban commander But former comrades have now claimed the truth is that he was looking for Bowe Bergdahl Said to be one of six soldiers who died looking for the POW Father said: ‘For his family it’s good to get him back but we will never be able to get our son back because of the actions of this guy’ Lt Andrews’ parents revealed their son thought Bergdahl was a ‘deserter’ Lt Andrews was posthumously given a silver star for his bravery At time of his death his wife Julie, 30, had already given birth to their son, six.

A Wag the Dog to deflect the VA is running true to the movie as Shoemaker-err Bergdahl is not who they portray him to be.

Too bad for Obama there’s not a Hollywood Producer around to fixit.

Show me any other case where BO has gone to this much trouble to get a POW back.

Good luck in finding out why.

So 0bama struts and props this Traitor up and we all just have to take it,right?

I’ve read that “some in Congress” are calling the _resident out on this.

Who are they? Why aren’t they demanding this nonsense be stopped? They seem part and parcel of this whole Treasonous enterprise.

This is far and away the worst scandal of the Obama Administration.

6 people killed trying to rescue this deserter and then Obama trades 5 terrorists to “free” him from his fellow travelers.

This literally makes me sick to my stomach!

This is another poke in the eye to all veterans. And it’s another shot at telling congress they’re irrelevant.

And Hagel,a Viet Nam veteran supports this shit. He,too,is a traitor.

We will not survive the rest of this traitor’s term.

Yes,I find it interesting that a British paper was the first to actually reach out to the family of one of the soldiers killed in the search.
