A former member of U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahls platoon interrupted a Democrat on Capital Hill Wednesday as he asked an academic expert about conditions the soldier might have endured in Afghanistan to tell him nobody else deserted.
Much to the consternation of U.S. Rep. Brad Sherman, D-Calif., former Army Specialist Cody Full asked for permission to speak as the lawmaker was in the process of building a case that Bergdahl may have had reason to act in an inexplicable manner.

We’d had a lot of deserations at Valley Forge, Tarawa, the Bulge, just to name a few right off the top of my head.
actually desertion at VF was a huge problem for Washington.
but that makes sense as they were closer to home instead of being thousands miles across an ocean

Great presence of mind!
U.S. combat veterans are not to be trifled with...there is no higher "been there and done that" setting. This one was ready and this one got some.

What’s wrong there that this DNC-ass would probably done the same as Bergdahl a DNC mindset. Just his fake face expression tells me he WOULD!!!

And it must be factored that in the revolution, men often enlisted for set periods of months, and those enlistment periods were often extended without their say-so, muddying the waters of what constituted desertion.

actually desertion at VF was a huge problem for Washington.True, although actual mumbers are hard to find. Nevertheless, not all units lost men.
One of my ancestors was a Company Commander w/ the
2nd PA Regiment at Valley Forge.
From their history ...
"Entered Valley Forge with 148 assigned and 105 fit for duty."
"Left Valley Forge with 148 assigned and 148 fit for duty."

Deserters, traitors, spies, and terrorists will all find a welcoming home in the Democrat Party.

Point was we’ve never excused this before as a reason to desert.

It started at Valley Forge. Washington put an end to THAT. With a firing squad or two.

Where in the hell would someone run to on Tarawa?
I can understand the fear. I can understand the desire to run. But most men do not. But to try to desert on an island. Its almost funny.
