One official, who spoke on grounds of anonymity because the person wasn’t authorized to discuss the subject by name, said there were concerns about Bergdahl’s mental and emotional as well as physical health.

And thus the Obongo regime tries to change the story...

And get over $300 grand in back pay.

So ... walk off your post to help the enemy, get 6 men killed trying to save you and another dozen killed as positions are weakened hunting you down, get 5 top terrorists released (who knows what the body count is for the U.S. in capturing these killers the last time around or will be in the future), and you get a Rose Garden ceremony for our parents, hometown hero welcome, AND a promotion.

Ka-ching. He can add to the $300K stash that taxpayers have been paying him while he was on his Taliban tour of duty. No wonder the Defense Dept. whines that they don’t have enough money. This should spur our toothless “conservatives” to further cut their budget.

He was promoted to the rank of specialist in June 2010 and then sergeant in June 2011.

Both of tyhose should be held back int ermns of pay and rank until an Artcile 32 is convened.

Then continued to be held back until the outcome of the court martial that will follow is determined.

IMHO, it is clear that he is a deserter. As I understood it, the US Army already determined this in 2010.

If he is convicted of that...he should spend a lot of years in Leavenworth.

I personally believe it goes further. I believe he actively sought out our enemies and joined them. If he is convicted of that, he should be exectuted.

Brave, loyal American died looking for this POS. They and their families, and the many more who were injured, deserve no less.

You can’t be in good physical condition and facing an acute crisis at the same time. I call horse hockey.

All those petitions do is add you to the White Hut spam list.

300K? This joker was E-3 for a year, E-4 for a year, and E-5 for three years. Even with combat pay and tax-free, he averaged 60K a year? I’m only 68. Will they still take me back?

So are army promotions for enlisted people just a question of time in grade? Or is there more to it?

Father Of Soldier Who Obama Released, Declares Muslim Victory Call, And Obama Smiles As Soon As He Hears The War Cry Of Allah

By Ted on June 2, 2014 in Featured, General

By Walid Shoebat And Theodore Shoebat (A Shoebat Exclusive)

JUST WAIT TILL YOU READ ALL THE EVIDENCE WE ACCUMULATED ON THIS SUPPOSED RESCUE OPERATION.

FIRST THINGS FIRST

While the Obama administration is proudly touting how it was able to free an American soldier who was captured by the Taliban, what no one picked is the fact that Obama SMILED as soon as he heard the most famous war cry of Islam, “bismillah al-rahman al-rahim,” Arabic for “in the name of Allah the most gracious, the most merciful.”
Watch Obama smile as soon as Bergdahl gives the most famous Muslim expression, the “Bismillah” or the “Basmallah”:
The “basmallah” is the Islamic expression for victory and only indicates that Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl’s father is a Muslim.

Think that the man is acting as “Muslim” for a stealth operation to rescue his son who is already in good hands in Germany? And what is with the long beard and trimmed mustache?

No this is not a bum, biker, or a Santa Clause fan. When one gives the basmallah, trims his mustache and elongates his beard, its the first sign of a convert to Islam, just as that an ex-Muslim putting on a cross and saying, “In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit,” is evidence enough of conversion to Christianity. But there is much more we obtained on this stealth jihadist.

But first, Obama’s smile says much. Obama has never declared the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and has no real testimony of converting to Christianity, as his pastor Jeremiah Wright stated:
I made it easy for him to come to an understanding of who Jesus Christ is and not feel that he was turning his back on his Islamic friends and his Islamic traditions and his understanding of Islam

EVIDENCE THAT BERGDAHL CONVERTED TO JIHADI ISLAM

We were first hit with news from Brietbart that the Taliban said that Robert Bowe Bergdahl’s son, Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, converted to Islam, changed his name to Abdullah, and even trained the Taliban in bomb making techniques.

And like father like son, the young Bergdahl, also trims his mustache and extends his beard, as these pictures show:

The rest of the history…

Time in grade is only a minimum requirement. There’s more.

Folks... what we have here is the next John Kerry... A coward, a hippie America Hater, made into a hero by the left wing media and lefty politicians. HE will be running for congress in a few years. (assuming the nation lasts that long).

.....................

And I think we have been using the wrong D- word.
Calling him a Deserter...

When we SHOULD be calling him a DEFECTOR.
