He was not abducted, he walked away from his unit location in Afghanistan and into the hands of the Taliban. 5 or 6 American soldiers died in efforts to find him and now 5 master Taliban criminals are free to get Bowe released. Will Obama tie the hands of the military to bring him to justice or will he let the military legal system run its course? I suspect he will want the spotlight that would come from having Bowe next to him in the Rose Garden and all the happy talk that would be there too.
“Update: Lt. Col. Ralph Peters had tough words about Pfc. Bergdahls reported desertion yesterday and has a warning for the media:
Partial transcript:
PETERS: On that video, he is collaborating with the enemy. Under duress or not, thats really not relevant. Hes making accusations about the behavior of the military in Afghanistan that are unfounded, saying there are no rules. Hes lying about how he was captured, saying he lagged behind a patrol.
Julie, Ill tell you, any 11 Bravo infantryman will tell you, thats not how it works. In a war zone, any soldier is aware of where all his buddies are. If its a night patrol, youre sure of where the guy in front of you and behind you is. So we know this private is a liar. Were not sure if hes a deserter. But the media needs to hit the pause button and NOT portray this guy as a hero ”

And if it rains, Obama will know that a Marine will be ordered to hold an umbrella for him.... sarc
According to today’s NY Times, nothing is going to be done to him.
Plus, this smirking pile can get the Obamedia to gush over the Muslim deserter’s homecoming instead of covering the VA scandal, which they will be happy to drop.
