Bergdahl was planning to report what he believed to be problems with “order and discipline” in his unit, a senior Defense official tells CNN. A second official says Bergdahl had “concerns about leadership issues at his base.”…

Both officials declined to be identified because of the legal proceedings against Berghahl, but both have direct knowledge of the information outlined in the report. “This was a kid who had leadership concerns on his mind,” the second official said. “He wasn’t fed up, he wasn’t planning to desert.”…

Both officials said Bergdahl believed he could make it to the next base by relying on wilderness skills he learned growing up in rural Idaho, even though the area was full of insurgents. It was not immediately clear how far the nearest base was during that timeframe in July 2009.

That’s the best they could come up with? Did they get together with Slow Joe to do some brain storming (well, a wisp of a breeze at least) for that excuse?

The boy is not only a bottomfeeding deserter, it appears he’s a liar too.

Full of insurgents, without weapon or night vision goggles. What IS a traitor to do!

And to VANISH, Just. Like. That. Without telling a soul.

The man’s a genie.

He took his camera, though. A real man has to have a camera. It’s such a fashion statement.

I think perhaps it’s that slight tang of desperation that really makes this batch of bull cookies so outstanding.

What a loser...and a traitor. It would be great to see him hung by the neck until dead.

He had been tormented by the sound of a starving kitten trapped up in a tree for months. Finally, he went to rescue the poor thing and he was captured!

Mom and Dad seem like old hippies. It’s probably why their son is so f’d up.

This “kid” was not a kid but a full-grown adult. He deserted his comrades and became a traitor.

Do you suppose Bergdahl owns the Golden Gate Bridge, and if he might be willing to sell?
