The only question is will it be the MOH or the Gold Star Hero medal.

Will he and his dad shave their beards?

I'd normally write this off and a bunch of nonsense, but I have it from ... I wish I could say who, but it is an unimpeachable very high level source.... that it is essentially true:

".....We come to realize that the kid deserted his post, snuck out of camp and sought out Taliban… to join them. .....
More bad stuff here:

And some congress critters and some of the news / commentary sites are now saying that 0bama's releasing 5 very hardcore terrorists in trade for him was illegal, the way it was done.

(Maybe it was more than just merely illegal.. I wonder if the congresscritters know the backstory yet.)
.......................................................

And this is the guy's father:
..............................................
No wonder 0bama loves this guy and willingly broke laws and endangered the entire world to bring him back:

"Bowe Bergdahl would detail his disillusionment with the Afghanistan campaign in an e-mail to his parents three days before he went missing.

“I am sorry for everything here,” he wrote. “These people need help, yet what they get is the most conceited country in the world telling them that they are nothing and that they are stupid.”

"Bergdahl also complained about fellow soldiers. The battalion commander was a “conceited old fool,” he said, and the only “decent” sergeants, planning to leave the platoon “as soon as they can,” told the privates — Bergdahl then among them — “to do the same.”

“I am ashamed to be an American. And the title of US soldier is just the lie of fools,”

“I am sorry for everything. The horror that is America is disgusting.”
SOURCE.

And ... Just how did this guy get promoted to Sergeant while in captivity.? Apparently he was a PFC when he deserted.

Now 0bama struts about; the Hero who 'got Bin Ladin and brought home the Last American POW' 'shows how he really cares, about our troops.'

And of course the deserter will be welcomed home as a hero by the MSM, make all the lefty talk shows, and the lo-fo voters will eat it up with a spoon.

I could not have imagined this story. Richard Condon, Author of "The Manchurian Candidate" would have stretched everyone's credulity if he has written this tale as a fiction novel.

I think its been pretty well established the guy deserted his post after numerous emails to the family expressing his dissatisfaction with America.

That's the first time I've heard that.I *have* heard,OTOH,that he was promoted from E-3 to E-5 while in captivity.If that's correct that suggests that the Army believed him to be a soldier who was following orders when captured as well as after having been captured.But I suppose that the Army might not have been aware of these e-mails or doubted their authenticity if they were,in fact,written.

I remember when this kid disappeared. It was widely reported then that he had deserted. I didn’t even realize he was still alive. I thought the Taliban had killed him.

You have Obama standing with the kid’s muzzie father out in the rose garden. Then the father gets to thank Allah for the whole think on TV. What a crock.

Considering Osama was dead long ago, I’d say it has more to do with looking good in the public eye.

[Bulwyf]

Leavenworth? Isn’t treason punishable by death?

[Bulwyf]

It sure is a crock. People will buy it all the same.

Now we know why the visit to Afghanistan last week...

We just don't know how many bags of money went to help grease palms.

Either one works for me. :-)
