So the left’s position on this is that the Platoon is lying and Bergdahl really is a medal of honor candidate (sarc) like Obama says.

That and the fact that even the Taliban never got comfortable trusting a deserter/traitor and at first kept him locked up. (I wouldn’t have trusted him either.)

That and the fact that Bergdahl was hacked that the Taliban didn’t recognize how wonderful he was right away so thought maybe he better try to get out of there. (The so-called ‘escape’.)

So, if the enemy you desert to isn’t immediately impressed with a traitor, it’s only THEN that you deserve the Medal of Honor.

Here is what some lefties told me on Friday night. He didn’t desert. He was sent in undercover to go and spy on the Taliban, while pretending to be a deserter. That is why he was promoted while in captivity. And us common peasants, nor his platoon mates, don’t or can’t know any of this, we should just trust the President.
