It was the Army's responsibility to guard Bergdahl and that traitor him from deserting? Interesting perspective on the military from someone whose closest approach to a uniform was probably walking past his doorman without tipping.
Like. i always said as a soldier, it is ridculous to complain about the army when in the army since each of us soldier make up the army and its “services”. To be a better soldier and ask how to be a better soldier is the only way to make a good army. This is such stupid thinking.
But I do not put it past traitors and Xanax dispensing psychiatrists in the military to manufacture such whiney people and encouraging them, because these drugs do have the benefit of turning the psychiatrist into some kind of god and your less peivileged buddies as some kind of a$$ holes.

Sounds more than vaguely, well Soviet -- not surprising from the leading newspaper of Moscow-On-Hudson.
The concept was re-introduced on a large scale during the German–Soviet War.[3] On June 27, 1941, in response to reports of unit disintegration in battle and desertion from the ranks in the Soviet Red Army, the 3rd Department (military counterintelligence of Soviet Army) of the USSR's Narkomat of Defense issued a directive creating mobile barrier forces composed of NKVD personnel to operate on roads, railways, forests, etc. for the purpose of catching 'deserters and suspicious persons'. These forces were given the acronym SMERSH (from the Russian Smert shpionam - Death to spies).[4][5] SMERSH detachments were created from NKVD troops, augmented with counterintelligence operatives, and were under the command of the NKVD.[4]
With the continued deterioration of the military situation in the face of the German offensive of 1941, SMERSH and other NKVD punitive detachments acquired a new mission: to prevent the unauthorized withdrawal of Red Army forces from the battle line.[4][5] The first troops of this kind were formed in the Bryansk Front on September 5, 1941.
On September 12, 1941 Joseph Stalin issued the Stavka Directive No. 1919 (Директива Ставки ВГК №001919) concerning the creation of barrier troops in rifle divisions of the Southwestern Front, to suppress panic retreats. Each Red Army division was to have an anti-retreat detachment equipped with transport totalling one company for each regiment. Their primary goal was to maintain strict military discipline and to prevent disintegration of the front line by any means, including the use of machine guns to indiscriminately shoot any personnel retreating without authorization.[6] These barrier troops were usually formed from ordinary military units, and placed under NKVD command.
