This civilian had to sign one of those returning from Iraq in 2010.
Can they talk about, not being able to talk about it ?
In my four years in the Marine Corps I never had to sign anything like that. But that was a different world, the 1960s....
I’ve never served, but I do know you don’t have to follow illegal orders.
When did the NDA’s happen? Early, when the military may have been trying to protect the captive, or recently, when it would obviously be about protecting Obama?
In my mind it is wholly illegal and contrary to open and above board standard of government
Bump cause this process bothers me also.
Soldiers are required to execute the orders of their superiors faithfully and without question or hesitation so they are unable to enter into an NDA of their own free will ( a requirement for executing an NDA )if they are ordered to do so.
Otherwise they are entering into the NDA under duress or due to improper command influence by their superiors.
I seriously doubt such an NDA would be held valid, especially if the information that they were being forced to seal under non disclosure concealed illegal activities or wrong doing or if the NDA restrictions were in place to obstruct justice or frustrate a lawful investigation on a topic that was central to National Security.
Bump...cause this process bothers me also. No military lawyers on board FR this evening?
bttt
When this Bergdahl character WENT AWOL and SHOULD have been declared a DESERTER from the gitgo, he left behind emails and notes saying he was “disgusted” with the United States and talked about RENOUNCING HIS CITIZENSHIP. (During my 4 years in the USAF in the Vietnam era, I wasn’t all that thrilled about how the government was mishandling a war that was getting so many of our folks unnecessarily KIA but never once thought about doing what THIS clown did!)
Despite obozo’s desire to keep all this hush-hush, MORE will come out as his former comrades defy orders to shut up and do speak out.
Now, here are the $64,000.00 questions that may have already been asked:
After 5 years with the Taliban, just how many IEDs and other “devices” did they teach him how to construct?
And, once he’s set out and about in the US population, how many other similarly disaffected malcontents, black muslims, radical Bill Ayers/Bernadine Dohrn wannabes will he teach everything the Taliban taught him?
Think Boston Marathon bombers X 10 to the 10th power on steroids!!
And we can all thank the TRAITOR in the Spite House, his lackeys in the bureaucracy, congress,the Pentagon and the lapdog media!
Doesn’t bother you, you say? It may if one of YOUR loved ones happens to be in a shopping mall when one of those devices goes off
Most transparent administration evah’
