I assume this has been reported before but if, like me, youre coming to the story only recently, its big news. Apparently, the military had and, maybe, has hard evidence from the man himself that he went AWOL deliberately.
Which would be worse: If Obama didnt know about the note before making the swap, or if he did know and went ahead with it anyway?
Sometime after midnight on June 30, 2009, Pfc. Bowe Bergdahl left behind a note in his tent saying he had become disillusioned with the Army, did not support the American mission in Afghanistan and was leaving to start a new life. He slipped off the remote military outpost in Paktika Province on the border with Pakistan and took with him a soft backpack, water, knives, a notebook and writing materials, but left behind his body armor and weapons startling, given the hostile environment around his outpost
Sergeant Bergdahl slipped away from his outpost, the former senior officer said, possibly on foot but more likely hiding in a contractors vehicle. He didnt walk out the gate through a checkpoint, and there was no evidence he breached the perimeter wire and left that way, the ex-officer said
Rear Adm. John F. Kirby, the Pentagon spokesman, said that there was a larger matter at play: The American military does not leave soldiers behind. When youre in the Navy, and you go overboard, it doesnt matter if you were pushed, fell or jumped, he said. Were going to turn the ship around and pick you up.

The terrorist is in the Oval Office
He’s getting ready for a date with Chelsey Manning?
Close the d@#n border with Mexico until he is released.!!
The way I see it, sgt. Tamoreesi's release wouldn't stroke the Muslims.
This is one political grandstand that I hope blows up in Obama's face and in the faces of all the immature "dude" people he has placed in strategic positions. Such spineless, know nothing wimps.
vaudine
you’re right. It’s called ‘jumping ship’.................;^)
This is starting to look like it is going to backfire on Obama for real... someone slap me out of it.
1. His dad gives praise to *llah with 0bummer present at Rose Garden...no way to make that go away.
2. 0bummer rescues a traiter, jihadist
3. 0bummer lets 5 or more jihadists go
4. Even the timing is fishy to the MSMs
Am I missing something? Was 0bummer’s arrogance finally blinding to him and his worshippers Rice, et al also so blinded with lust for power that they miscalculated?
Of course, our Rino’s can more than make up for 0bummer’s miscalculation by not talking about the VA anymore, and by not impeaching and by ...the list goes on.
Seriously. How is it everyone can know something EXCEPT Obama? Is he that stupid or just that incompetent?
but NOT in the middle of the ocean..
...she didn’t say who he served with distinction.
And I would also bet that he's been on an NSA or CIA watchlist too......which is all the more disturbing
I'm sure Obama only learned about this from watching TV and reading the newspaper over the last 48 hours. (As if the sarcasm tag is even needed.)
Another point:
Your point number 1.
His dad starts out quoting the Koran in Arabic.
Everything this regime does is planned and scripted.
They knew this was coming. Is baraq sending a message to the world with this?
O.K. Here goes...O knows that the Bengazi hearings will expose him and his team. So, he’s getting things done before it all blows up..
True, but...
When I was stationed aboard The USS NIMITZ, we had a mess cook jump off the ship while we were underway. It was night time, in the Mediterranean sea. Yes, a rescue swimmer was dispatched via helo.
The jumper tried to swim away, the rescue swimmer punched the jumper and convinced him he was going back to the ship.
Once aboard the ship, the swimmer went to medical for a brief check up, then straight to Captain's Mast and from there to the brig.
Yes, Captain, the Navy will come and rescue you, but stand by to be punished if need be.
Well, not ‘voluntarily’ at least..................;^)
I suspect he will be put up on a pedestal as a beacon of free rights or international citizen of the world. The he will be given a soapbox and start preaching Islam in the good ol USA
He probably rushed to “save the last POW” to show he cares about veterans right before the 2014 election and detract from the VA scandals.
