When Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl was traded for five high risk Taliban commanders last summer, his platoon mates quickly hit the airwaves to expose him as a deserter. They said it was known he was a deserter for years. The Obama administration, however, gave the appearance to the American people that officials were unaware of the circumstances surrounding his capture. In fact, last year State Department Deputy Spokeswoman Marie Harf said allegations Bergdahl deserted were simply "rumors." Not only did President Obama hold a Rose Garden ceremony to honor Bergdahl, but administration officials Jay Carney and Susan Rice said he "served with honor and distinction."
But now, Army General Stanley McChrystal is confirming the accounts of Bergdahl's platoon mates and said in a recent interview with Fox News it was known Bergdahl deserted immediately after his disappearance.
"My initial understanding, based on the reportings I got, that he had walked off intentionally," McChrystal said.

Bergdahl was officially charged with desertion and inappropriate behavior in front of the enemy earlier this year. He will stand trial at Ft. Sam Houston in Texas. He faces life in prison.
Meanwhile, the five Taliban leaders who were traded for Bergdahl are expected to be released from Qatar custody within weeks. At least one of them has already attempted to engage in jihad against the United States.

And yet, troops were sent to look for him.
Their blood is on McChrystal's hands.
This current leadership is enough to make a grown man cry.
Tf Army General Stanley McChrystal gave a rat’s arse about his country, he would have said so when the President lied to America and abandoned his oath of office.
(Sigh) Ping!
Of course, “he walked off” that is generally how one starts their desertion, especially if they don’t have a car or humvee to “drive off” in.
0bama's a liar.
Carney's a liar.
Rice is a liar.
Harf is a liar.
etc. etc. etc.
Nope. Security and information warfare supported his being captured.
My exact thought! Sheesh. What a coward. Where was General Stanley McChrystal when his country needed him? Oh yeah, cowering in the corner concerned about his personal career.
What has become of this country that we have NO men of integrity. None of honor. None of self-sacrifice.
And, ooh boy, now he comes forward. Wow.
The first thing the next prez (assuming there is one) needs to do is purge the brass and rehire all the brass purged by obama...then start an inquisition that makes Torquemada blush.
How else could they get 5 known leaders of Al Q and Taliban past the American public ?
Bergdahl is no less a deserter than the current leadership ho knowingly posted falsehood as justification ,
Sorta like they have been doing in Banghazi ,.. just more of the same.
Yes ... I knew Bergdahl was a deserter from the US immediately. Je suis Bowe! Allahu Akbar!
It’s a lesser evil...
You see, in this way Obama got to free 6 of his brothers in arms!
The traitor should be shot with the deserter!
McChrystal was too busy banning Fox News from CENTCOM to do anything about Bergdahl.
So like where is this Bergdahl thing anyway??
