After five years as a POW, Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl is headed home. But the circumstances of his capture by the Taliban in Afghanistan remain unclear, indicating he may have walked away from his base.
For now, the story for US Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl is one of physical and mental recovery and reunion with his family.
But very soon it will involve debriefings about the nearly five years of his captivity by Taliban fighters, who apparently held him in Pakistan as well as Afghanistan, where his infantry unit had been engaged in combat.
Military and intelligence experts will want to know how he was treated, anything he can tell them about his captors, and what he learned about insurgent capabilities.
But for the young soldier 23 when he became a prisoner of war, now 28 those debriefings also will include difficult questions about how and why he happened to be in a position where he fell into the hands of Taliban fighters.
There have been no reports that he was captured during direct combat, that the fog of war had put him involuntarily in a vulnerable location.
At this point in the developing narrative, Sgt. Bergdahl seems to have grown disillusioned with the mission, bitter about the Army and especially higher ranking enlisted men and officers, and simply walked off gone outside the wire or protective base limits and disappeared.

Wow! Like father, like son. Apparently the apple didn’t fall far from the tree.
Facebook is full of loony left-wingers. And don’t you dare contradict them! I don’t see much action there today - usually my two conservative friends there are on top of the news.
We seem to live in an entire country full of Raymonds.
It sounds like what a guy named Cody that was in the same unit was tweeting. Same type of stuff.
Which is why this boastful non-entity UPS driver would not take any questions from the crowd. The American media is a total embarrassment.
Suharto was backed by the military, he was pro-America, he guided an economic transformation, but he vigorously repressed dissent, specifically Communist dissent.
Thus, the international Left wing MSM hated him and vilified him at every opportunity.
I will guess that Obama’s Mother hated Suharto.
I think his step-Dad came from a moderately affluent family, so I don't know what he felt about Suharto.
Hold on......don’t get your panties in a wad.
Just wait until the whole story comes to light and I think you just might agree with me.
Just wait.............we have to wait until the stinking air of liberal government propaganda clears.....and you will see.
Meanwhile, I would suggest that you visit other conservative sites and learn more about just how he got captured.
The TV show “Homeland” comes to mind.
Gateway Pundit lists the names of 5 soldiers killed looking for Bergdahl. http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2014/06/bergdahl-snuck-off-post-to-join-taliban-at-least-six-americans-were-killed-trying-to-find-him/
Correction: 6 soldiers KIA
We lose 5 terrorist leaders and gain a deserter. What a deal!
Sounds like the kind of deal the Texas Rangers would make.
Every foreign policy move in the Middle Eastnhas been in support of the Muslim Brotherhood and Al Qaeda.
