Nevermind his captors bragged about him helping with IEDs. How about his wrongdoing in deserting or will they sweep that under the rug as well? Can’t have anything tarnish The Won’s crown.


And the Taliban wouldn’t lie, would they? As for his deserting, yeah, he deserted. But the Army’s statement is only talking about his CAPTIVITY. His desertion is another topic. Good grief.

“Gee whiz, the Army must have asked him and replied he was just a POW.”

[Bergdahl phoning Brothers in Tashkent]
“And that’s not all, no sir. Not only are they letting everything I did ride—the desertion, fraternizing with you guys and all that—they’re giving me back pay AND a promotion! No s***, believe it!”

The hits just keep on coming from the most lawless, anti-American administration in US history.

Everywhere else it’s: “Once upon a time ....”
Down south and in flyover country it’s:
“You ain’t gonna believe this s*** ....”

Must have used a lot of Borox to wash this decision.


It’s the only decision they could make WITHOUT PROOF!!!

He was tortured. They threatened to take away his goat’s milk if he didn’t make IEDs.

But how long was he "in captivity"?

He hooked up with the Taliban of his own free will. This is not captivity.

He was put in a cage for a few days. Is that what they're talking about?

Absolute BS!!! This is a total cover-up to make Obama look good to the nation. Every stinking officer involved with any investigation of this piece of garbage knows that if he/she makes any decision that makes the Communist Czar in Sodom on the Potomac look bad, said career is over. This is to make brown nose points with the garbage in the White House. Makes me sick to think of those men who died trying to “save” this piece of garbage. He’ll get his $300 thousand and sit happy with his muzzie loving daddy. Both are enemies of the Republic. Makes me sick to say I was in the same Army. Makes me sick that I served in an Army that is now pandering to this garbage.


So you are fully on board with the Army making up charges without proof to back those charges up. Wow. The Army haters are out in full force today.

The Wire headline is slightly misleading
ALL the Army is saying is at this point they have no reason to think he helped the terrorists

It says NOTHING about desertion.That will come after the investigation. I think the 2star investigating will call for an article32

I hope the 2 star has more balls than that POS 0dumbo

Yep...If he walks on this desertion after what the soldiers that were there have stated our military has become a complete farce.

After he deserted, his unit was hit again and again with pin point accuracy.

So the improved effectiveness of the enemy’s IED placement shortly after his desertion is purely coincidental?

Yes, there is a good possibility that he turned traitor, but being pretty sure isn't the same as proving it.

If they nail him on the desertion charges, that'll be plenty.

Who didn’t see this coming? Bergie is Barry’s boy. Can’t make da boy look bad. The Pentagon got the memo.

They are going to deal with the desertion separately. I believe that he will be discharged with a dishonorable discharge due to desertion. They are also thinking about taking back the 200K that he was paid during his years of captivity. I say great to both.

What makes he sick and I can’t for the life of me understand why this is not being discussed even on conservative Free Republic is the fact that they gave away 5 highly rank terrorists for Bergdahl who was at death’s door.......excuse me but he MIRACULOUSLY improved his health in about 2 days.....maybe and possibly shorter than that. I think out of all the stink to this story is that we were lied to with that flimsy excuse and everyone is falling for it.
