A U.S. Army investigation found that Bowe Bergdahl had walked away from his post at least once before his capture - and that other soldiers in his unit knew he was a flight risk.
The 2010 report, called an AR15-6, is still classified, but it appears to confirm allegations that the former prisoner of war violated military regulations - and that the Pentagon knew it all along.
The revelation, attributed to anonymous sources by the Military Times, comes as the nation's top general, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey, acknowledged the growing cloud of suspicion hanging over Bergdahl.
The Military Times report says that investigators who looked into the June 2009 capture of Bergdahl found that several soldiers from his unit said he had talked openly about wanting to leave the forward operating base where he was stationed.

This is damage control, they will now turn it around with speculation on...wait for it...a “classified report” -O’ how that sounds intriguing.
Now they blame Bergdahl’s direct military command.

If Bergdahl walked off once before what was he still doing in a combat zone. Normally they would have jerked him out of there immediately. It does not even make sense.

I think Hagel is drunk most of the time. The rest of the time he’s passed out.

After the first...why was he allowed to stay in the military?
Here's a guess... he was werkin' for the company.
Any questions, concerns, reports on Bergdahl from his unit - squasheroo.
Just a guess, but would not be "shocking", IMHO. Especially with those parents - they look like an intel team right out of a movie. I found zippo, zero, nada about his mother Jani using google. No H.S. classmates stuff, nothing. Who ARE his parents ?

what you just wrote is not beyond the realm of possibility and sure is food for thought.

That’s what I don’t understand.Why wasn’t he sent
home under arrest the first time he tried to join
the friggin Taliban.

there are millions of Americans who hope that your prediction will prove to be spot on.

If Hagel told me it was raining out, I would look to see if he was peeing on my leg.

They should shipped his sorry a** back to the States before he had a chance to expose other soldiers to harm.
