Yes I noticed he was crying and wiping away his tears. Those tears were not for freedom, they were for leaving his Taliban friends.
I am sure you have it right that the Taliban were told to have him clean shaved.
Yes, we could be wrong but it’s a slim to zero chance we are, especially in light of Michelle Malkin’s report this morning that Bergdahl was disciplined with extra duty and loss of privileges after being caught sleeping on watch. This punishment is what caused him to walk off.

He was of a mind to walk off before that.
Viewing his dad, he may have been radicalized before he enlisted.
The tallibunnies didn’t just shave his face and noggin. They also shaved his eyebrows. And I expect he had a bag over his head until the pickup door opened. That all explains some of his tearing and blinking. He’s lucky they didn’t cut his eyelids as happened to some of our guys in Veetnam.. But the eyebrows are enough to make him a marked mouse. And they told him they would kill him if he ever showed up back in Gannyland.
I’d discount the wife part since he didn’t have any goats to trade. But it’s not beyond the pale that he might have had a boyfriend?
