WASHINGTON, March 17 (UPI) -- Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, held captive for five years by the Taliban, had a mental-health disorder marked by odd, eccentric behaviors and social isolation when he walked away from his post in Afghanistan in 2009, documents released by his defense team showed.

The condition is different from schizophrenia, which is marked by hallucinations and a disconnect from reality.

The board also found Bergdahl has post-traumatic stress disorder.

What? Did he even see any combat?

PTSD from being captured?

I think he "suffers" from C-O-W-A-R-D-I-C-E.

He suffers from “there isn’t enough Obama-time left to squeak me through this” syndrome. Ergo, PTSD or whatever horsesh!t his lawyer is claiming.

“Army: Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl had psychiatric disorder when he left post”

Yeah, it’s called “being a treasonous piece of crap who should be shot instead.”

This is pure BS. How could you make such a diagnosis years after the fact? They would have to rely on the word of the deserter and he has many, many reasons to lie his ass off.

This would have passed far more believably if he had actually been a prisoner.

I agree. He had a mental disorder. On the face of it, it's called Liberalism.

The pseudopsychiatric disorder suggested by
the pro-alQaeda Pentagon is: presque Islam.
Someone not yet a murdering member of the terrorist tribe,
a location where the Pentagon used to be before
it was bombed by al Qaeda and then elected to
arm them in Libya and Syria and elsewhere.
