Bowe Bergdahl, the U.S. Army sergeant who pleaded guilty Monday to deserting his post in Afghanistan in 2009, says his Taliban captors were more “honest” with him than the Army has been since his release three years ago.

“At least the Taliban were honest enough to say, ‘I’m the guy who’s gonna cut your throat,’ ” Bergdahl tells British TV journalist Sean Langan in an interview with the Sunday Times Magazine of London headlined "The Homecoming from Hell."

Langan, too, is a former Taliban hostage.

Bergdahl, 31, from Hailey, Idaho, says he never quite knew where he stood with the Army as he performed “administrative duties” while awaiting his desertion trial.....

“Deserter Bergdahl says Taliban more ‘honest’ than US Army”

Probably true if he was dealing with Obama’s people.

That’s not going to happen but perhaps this little rant to an overseas media will add something to his sentence.

This retired Army Officer would be quick to volunteer if the Army needed members of a firing squad or someone to kick the stool out from under Bergdahl.

The fact that he converted to *slam is significant. *slam is a political movement that has as a goal the overthrow of the US form of government, and replacing it by a repressive totalitarian theocracy.
That explains his hatred for this country, and why bammy loved him so much.

Lier.

US Army trains every soldier about UCMJ and is taught about treason and desertion. He was told that his actions were illegal and would result in punishment.

This son of a bitch is worse than a deserter, he is a traitor.

He deliberately left his unit in order to join the Taliban.

God knows what information Bergdahl gave the enemy that got our guys killed, in addition to the men who died looking for his sorry ass.

Clear remorse and apologies to families of those that he caused harm to, would stand him in the best light.

But no, he has to ramble and babble on.

Put him on 30 years probation so he can never make a dime off of his desertion.

Would have been best to carpet bomb the pickup point and turn bergdahl’s Toyota into his coffin.

You deserted and are not sure where you stand with the people you deserted from?
You are an idiot besides being a deserter!

Being put on trial for desertion wasn't a big enough clue for him.
