Did Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl go AWOL in Afghanistan?

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.

Something has been nagging me about this, and it just popped into my head:

This guy’s name is Bergdahl, and there was an enlisted sailor captured by the North Vietnamese named Hegdahl. His name was Doug Hegdahl, and in contrast to this POS Bergdahl, the sailor Hegdahl was a real hero in my eyes.

Pretty close names.

You’re right the names are very similar. You have an extraordinary memory!

I’m so grateful you posted this to ME! I am honored, to be totally truthful.

God bless and keep you and everyone you hold precious.

About 24 hours ago I posted this to you: “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”

Well? Are you educated yet or is your head still stuck in a hole in the sand?
