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.

I know this sounds like quibbling, but why isn’t Obama wearing a tie? I mean, he’s the president, and this is an official event.
Here is an excerpt of a story just posted at The Blaze:
".......When news of Sgt. Bergdahl’s release broke, I reached out to intelligence contacts who have operated in the Af/Pak region and are familiar with the situation. I wanted to discuss what was being reported – and more importantly - what wasn’t. The following is what they told me.
When Sgt. Bergdahl was picked up by the Haqqanis, he was described as /diwana/ – the Pashtu word for intoxicated. He was with two or three Afghan soldiers he had walked off his Forward Operating Base with. It is believed the group was en route to indulge in further intoxicants.
Once the Haqqanis had stumbled onto Sgt. Bergdahl, they moved quickly to secure him and move him out of Afghanistan into Pakistan.
This information was passed on to U.S. Special Operations Command, who contacted the powers that be in Kabul, who in turn reached out to Sgt. Bergdahl’s Forward Operating Base. According to my sources, the F.O.B. had not even noticed that Sgt. Bergdahl had failed to appear for muster that morning.
Until they could spirit Sgt. Bergdahl out of Afghanistan, the Haqqanis decided to hide him nearby among the nomads known locally as the ‘Koochi.’ And while the soldiers of Task Force 82 passed by, frantically searching for Sgt. Bergdahl, shouting “Bowe! Bowe!” not a single Koochi tent flap was lifted or even investigated. Had that been done, Bergdahl might have been discovered and rescued before the Haqqanis could sneak him into Pakistan.
The Haqqanis took Bergdahl into the Showal area of Northern Waziristan where he fell under the control of a man named Mullah Sangeen Zadran, the chief of operations for Siraj Haqqani – head of the Haqqani terror network. ...Contrary to press reports, the Afghan Taliban – aka the Quetta Shura - never had their hands on Sgt. Bergdahl. He was always under the control of the Haqqani network......."

And even that article doesn't tell the whole story.
I also have it on high authority that 0bama himself called off the search and rescue mission very early.
Even Richard Condon who wrote "The Manchurian Candidate" would have had to stretch his imagination a lot further to write this story.
Oops.
Sent it again by mistake. Oh well worth saying twice. Great find!
I thought Sukarno was the Communist in Indonesia.
UGH ... I’m also sorry, I watched him, too.
I agree with you.
We’re in need of PATRIOTS on TV.
Aiding and abetting the enemy. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot"general" praising the deserter !
I have a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach that we will hear very little that is negative about Bergdahl on TV. Not even Fox News.
Oops. I answered the wrong question. I answered why Obama was a traitor - not Bergdahl.
Instead of Mancheria caindate how about Tailban caindate
Very interesting reading over at Twitter on the @CodyFNfootball account.
Also - the “POW” is having a hard time remembering how to understand and speak English
Deserter. From an anti-American family.
The father have bigger beard than Uncle Si Robertson of Duck Dynasty fame
Twitchy trigger finger? Too much coffee this morning? LOL
Great post, Jedi.
I knew Bergdahl’s AWOL status was a potential issue.
But that Twitter from his Dad takes this to a whole new level.
Plenty of warnings!
And then there's

Hope and change into something that hasn't been "popular" in a long time... totalitarianism
“Bowe Bergdahl is the kindest, warmest, bravest, most wonderful human being I’ve ever known in my life,”
