What Col. West writes here seems to be the truth as I remember it. If so what should happen to this guy? He does not seem to be a hero.

Obama traded 5 people that hate america for one person that hates America... its that simple

cause he hates America too

[Blood of Tyrants]

Obama will prevent the Army from bring desertion charges against Bergdahl.

Reminder that Bush pinned medals on the crew that handed over the P3 to the Red Chinese.

I just heard on the beck show from a soilder in TX that after he wondered off the base we started getting attacked in places only he would know about.. 6 men died because of him..

They could have kept him if that is true.

Also from the caller, this guy hated america. Just like his dad and his president.

Remember the defector to the Vietnamese, Robert Garwood? When he came back to the USA the media proclaimed him a “hero”, took photos of him holding a Bible, even produced a Made-for-TV movie about him staring Michael J Fox.

How soon will Bergdhal get a movie contract?

[Baynative]

According to articles, he was an E-3 when he took off and has been promoted to E-5 somewhere along the line. So now he’s looking at five years of back pay and if he separates he’ll add vacation pay on top of that. Could there also be some sort of POW compensation or per diem ...not to mention his coming book deal?

"The question is, will we allow the typical sound bite liberal media to direct us away from seeking the truth?"

THE ANSWER IS FREE REPUBLIC!

[Red Badger]

The media will ‘make him a hero’ just as they have done so many times before with other traitors and deserters. This is noting new for them.

As for Bergdahl himself, I predict nothing serious will happen to him. It would be a huge embarrassment to the administration to prosecute him now. Hero turned traitor? No prosecution from this CIC...................

[lakecumberlandvet]

What Bergdahl did and what 0bama did is traitorous.

omg

talk about bds and wildly inappropriate moral relativity

1027.Prohibition on the use of funds for the transfer or release of individuals detained at United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba None of the funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act for fiscal year 2013 may be used to transfer, release, or assist in the transfer or release to or within the United States, its territories, or possessions of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed or any other detainee who— (1)is not a United States citizen or a member of the Armed Forces of the United States; and (2)is or was held on or after January 20, 2009, at United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, by the Department of Defense OK, so Barry traded five (5)--five dangerous muzzie field grade officers--for one American `hiwi.' Hiwi (volunteer) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Hiwi ([ˈhiːviː]) is a German abbreviation meaning "voluntary assistant" (Hilfswilliger, willing to help). Following Operation Barbarossa in World War II, the term Hiwis acquired a thoroughly negative meaning. Between September 1941 and July 1944 the SS began training and deploying collaborationist auxiliary police recruited directly from the Soviet POW camps for service with Nazi Germany in the General Government.[1] In just one instance, the German SS and police inducted, processed, and trained 5,082 Hiwi men before the end of 1944 at the SS training camp division of the Trawniki concentration camp set up in the village of Trawniki southeast of Lublin. They were known as the "Trawniki men" (Trawnikimänner) and deployed in all major killing sites of the "Final Solution", which was their primary purpose of training. They took an active role in the executions of Jews at Belzec, Sobibor, Treblinka II, Warsaw (three times), Częstochowa, Lublin, Lvov, Radom, Kraków, Białystok (twice), Majdanek as well as Auschwitz, not to mention Trawniki itself. Hilfswilliger ("voluntary assistant")[edit] Russia January 1942, two "volunteers" of the Wehrmacht decorated with the General Assault Badge. The word entered into several other languages during World War II when German troops enlisted volunteers from the occupied territories for supplementary service (drivers, cooks, hospital attendants, ammunition carriers, messengers, sappers, etc.). In the context of World War II the term often has connotations of collaborationism, and (in the case of the occupied Soviet territories) of anti-Bolshevism (and widely presented by Germans as such). A captured "Hiwi" told his People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs (Narodnyy Komissariat Vnutrennikh Del, or NKVD) interrogators."................................ It's no wonder the `extremists'--not Islamacists, not `terrorists'! Oh noes!--are cackling.

What should happen is a court martial. His action contributed directly to the deaths of Americans. The stories being told by those on the ground at the time indicate he acted with malice. He has a price to pay.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Its not like this was ever even a secret. At the time the incident happened they were saying Bergdahl walked off. You have to ask yourself the question of why did Obama even negotiate for Bergdahl’s release in the first place. Its not like he was a decorated Navy SEAL or something.

“I will stand with the muslims....”

Ad nauseum.

"As well, America has now negotiated with terrorists, because the Taliban is not a nation-state, it is a non-state, non-uniform belligerent organization, a terrorist group. This is a dangerous precedent and was done unilaterally by President Obama."

President Obama negotiated unilaterally...but was it personally as well? Recall dear leader was in Afghanistan on Memorial Day Sunday, purportedly as a SURPRISE to support our troops. Breitbart also reported that Karzai snubbed dear leader this visit.

Is it mere coincidence that an Afghan CIA operative was revealed around this time also? Did Obama directly and personally negotiate with terrorists this trade for Burgdahl...right under the noses of our troops (& Karzai)who risk their lives every day they battle with these same terrorists in Afghanistan to serve our country under the direction of this duplicitous and unnervingly incompetent CiC?
