“His Bergdahl blunder is evidence of desperation. He just had to get the news cycle off the VA scandal.”
Bergdahl blunder was planned long before the VA scandal hit the news.
A friend of mine son was sent back to Afghanistan several weeks ago.
Before he left he received extensive training how to escape capture. Much more than he had ever received before.
The military knew months ago there was going to be an increased threat to our military men and women being taken hostage.
Everything about the Bergdahl blunder says ‘rush job’. The video they cite as demonstrating Bergdahl was on his last legs was made way back in December. True, they were plotting & planning how to get rid of the worst & most dangerous Guantanamo detainees for quite a while. But the VA scandal pushed the timetable. That is why even the Dems are jumping on the criticism bandwagon. If it had all been planned, they could have gotten Feinstein & the others on board. As it is, it is a bipartisan firestorm.
