Former Officer: Soldiers Were ´Threatened´ If They Questioned Bergdahl Story
Breitbart ^ | 6/2/14 | Charlie Spiering

A former U.S. officer who served in Afghanistan with Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl claims that soldiers were threatened by U.S. authorities if they questioned his story. After he was captured, Bergdahl said on a video from his captors that he lagged behind on patrol, although other sources in the military suggested anonymously that he walked away from his post. “Not only has this nebulous non-story been put out for years but you know these soldiers of 4th Brigade 25th Infantry Division were threatened with legal repercussions if they spoke about Bergdahl. Everybody officially mandated silencing of what we saw has been so frustrating,”

What elected office will Bergdahl run for?

He'll be too busy running for his life.

Obama, the most devastating terrorist attack to touch American soil. Will we ever find out who owns and operates this Kenyan jihadist? Whatever is going on with this Bergdahl story, it is clear the risk of not cooperating with the terrorists was greater than the backlash that is occurring.

All of this makes one wonder if Bergdahl was a pro Islamo Gay pseudo American.

Every vet who’s willing to speak out will need full time body guards just to make sure they don’t simply disappear.

Clinton never shut up when W was in. Carter has never shut up. Now W and old man Bush need to be speaking out in condemnation of obama. Does the soldier not have anyone on his side anymore?

The Obama regime. The most corrupt government the world has ever seen.

His model was post-colonial Africa. Anyone surprised?

What he said after becoming captive is a red herring. Presumably, he could have been threatened, denied water/food. “Lagged behind the patrol” is better progaganda for the Taliban. Set that all aside. => What were the circumstances that caused him to become captive?

Second, fellow soldiers were threated by camand at the time...again, a red herring.

=>. What is the compelling need for secrecy NOW that he’s free..?!?! (Propaganda value for Obama aside.)

He’ll end up marrying Chelsey Manning after he/she/it gets the taxpayer funded sex change.

It’s be celebrated in a made for TV movie and front page of the NY Times.

Their honeymoon will be self-detonating in Times Square in front of a crowd of fans and well-wishers and 1/4 of the US Senate.

With mac daddy if you question ANYTHING he does is because you hate black people

If clinton is elected if you question ANYTHING she does is because she is a women.

Out of the frying pan, into the fire.

Let’s start a pool. How many months before Bergdahl is found dead?

Good guess. I suspect it will depend, in part, on how fast he is “reintegrated” into society.

Then again, maybe he’ll get fragged. Apparently a bunch of his “soldiers in arms” are mightily pissed about this. ESPECIALLY about other soldiers going KIA while searching for this scumbag.
