U.S. Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl has made no admission of wrongdoing since being released by the Taliban last month, officials said on Wednesday, adding that he has yet to be asked the tough question of why he left base before his 2009 capture.

Army officials said the two-star general investigating Bergdahl's disappearance in Afghanistan will seek to bring up that subject with the soldier sometime after his outpatient treatment in Texas is finished in about two weeks and before the expected completion of the Army's probe in mid-August.

Seems like that would be question #1. It would have been in my US Army.

By the time they get around to asking him he’ll conveniently have no recollection of anything. This might qualify him for a high level government job.

It would seem the better question for him would be “Do you want a blindfold or not?

[Starboard]

LOL! Either him or Bradley/Chelsea Manning.

And of course the traitor hasn’t been coached.
This POS will get off with only a dishonorable
and he won’t have to repay a cent

[DaveA37]

Certainly he has not yet completed his 30 day leave (with pay) and has yet to be heard from while away.

I doubt he’ll even get a dishonorable. Barry has attached his seal of approval to this guy.

My guess - WH handlers are coaching him right now. They will identify somebody in his unit, and accuse him of being a racist homophobic redneck lunatic - and suggest that Bergdahl had to leave a bad work environment.

They have him studying transcripts of Bill and Hillary Clinton
testifying under oath before asking him anything.

Anyone that does understand that this is going to be whitewashed and then swept away needs to buy a clue to what is happening to America....

Maybe the firing squad will have time to ask him.

As Hawkeye once said to Trapper when he threatened to desert..."Trap,desertion's not a good idea...it upsets the folks who invited us here".

But that was a different era.Today,certain deserters will be greeted as heroes of it suits the political needs of the higher ups.

Well he’s in such a fragile emotional state that they don’t want to push him over the edge by asking him questions. Like “why the eff did you walk off from your post soldier”?

[nascarnation]

Where’s Gen Patton when we really need him.......

[Georgia Girl 2]

So true.

[COBOL2Java]

They have him studying transcripts of Bill and Hillary Clinton testifying under oath before asking him anything.

My guess would be they're having him studying transcripts from Nidal Hasan's trial...
