Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl walked away from his base in Afghanistan June 30, 2009, and by December of that same year, the president's principal military adviser, then-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Admiral Mike Mullen, knew those details, according to three of Bergdahl's platoon mates who spoke to Fox News.
"I asked him (Mullen) if he knew about Bergdahl and that he deserted and he (Mullen) told me that he knew of the circumstances surrounding his walking off," former Sgt. Matt Vierkant told Fox,"(and) that they were developing leads and following leads, trying to do everything they could to get him back."
After pulling security duty for the chairman, who was doing a swing through Afghanistan in December 2009, Vierkant, along with Evan Buetow and Cody Full, said they met informally with Mullen and about eight other soldiers. After a pep talk about the mission, the three said Mullen asked the squad leaders and platoon leadership to take a break.
"He sat down with all the lower enlisted guys and the team leaders and basically he said, 'Hey, what do you want to know...You got any questions? He's like, I'm an open book. Let's just have a little question and answer session," Buetow explained.
"So Matt asked him, you know Bergdahl deserted, what's going on with that? And Admiral Mullen said, 'Yes, we know all the circumstances surrounding Bergdahl walking away from the OP (outpost,)and we're still working on getting him back, figuring out where he is and kind of figuring out that whole situation.’"

The worst part is Mullan. The leadership of the United States Military has gone over to the dark side. When they do that the killing of Americans in their homes will just be part of the job
Incompetent? Or complicit?
Quit calling him “Sgt.”
Bergdahl was a “Private” when he walked off his post.
As per US custom POWs (which Bergdahl was not) are promoted at the same rate as the best and brightest of their rank class.
Bergdahl is a “Private,” a traitor and a deserter.
Hang him! (along with his creepy father/enabler)
Well said!
Semper Fi
“HE DEFECTED TO THE TALIBAN AND SHARED U.S. TROOP TACTICS ...[Obama] KNEW this, too. “
This is why Obama paidpaid $5 billion to the enemy and turned over their five best generals to save the life of his hero Bergdahl who did excellent work for the Jihad.
Bergdahl ping.
I hope for worse.
Amen. Army Bro! Wonder how he’d do in the general population at Leavenworth.
obammy has purged a great many military officers who do not buy in to his bull shit.
He replaced them with those who do.
Same for every aspect of this damned federal gub mint.
Obama was looking for an excuse to give the Taliban back their leaders!!! The Taliban demanded these 5 and Obama was very happy to oblige his fellow Muslims.
After Mothers Killing 56 MILLION of their BABIES, kicking Jesus and God out of our country, and now GAY EVERYTHING, I believe God has lifted His Hand of Grace away from America and we will NEVER recover from it unless we turn back to God.
WHY did the creepy Muslim dad say “Bo...I am your father”....I thought that was as weird as it comes.
You’re correct and am looking forward to seeing the exodus of those butt kissers of 0bama when we get a president that loves this country and supports our military.
There are thousands of patriots in the service that know who they are as well as patriotic civilians that will be appointed to high positions.
Amen. That should be an impeachable offense in itself.
i just hope they can be identified and axed quickly.
