Perhaps the most insane theory seen to date regarding Bowe Bergdahl was posited on Twitter yesterday by Brandon Friedman, the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs at the U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development. Friedman suggested that perhaps Bergdahl is not a deserter who may have actually aided the Taliban, but instead, was attempting to flee from a platoon full of "psychopaths."
Here's the thing about Bergdahl and the Jump-to-Conclusions mats: What if his platoon was long on psychopaths and short on leadership? (1/5) — Brandon Friedman (@BFriedmanDC) June 5, 2014
And your evidence of this is...?
What if he grew disillusioned with what he saw, didn't trust his leadership, and walked off? Legal? No. Worthy of sympathy? Maybe. (2/5) — Brandon Friedman (@BFriedmanDC) June 5, 2014
...
If that were the case, the soldiers in his platoon would have all the more reason to smear him publicly now. (3/5) — Brandon Friedman (@BFriedmanDC) June 5, 2014
Because, yes, we all know how easy it is to get dozens of people to agree on the same, made-up story.
Given other examples, it's not out of the realm of possibility--and more reason to withhold judgment until after an investigation. (4/5) — Brandon Friedman (@BFriedmanDC) June 5, 2014
There are several documents suggesting he was a deserter, or worse, a traitor, plus he left a note and emailed his parents about how much he hated America, but okay, continue.
I'm not a fan of such speculation, but this story could not be more unbalanced--with so many premature calls of "traitor." (5/5) — Brandon Friedman (@BFriedmanDC) June 5, 2014
Fin.
Oh, but no worries guys, he quickly removed any evidence he's associated with the Obama administration from his Twitter.
Looks like Brandon Friedman -@BFriedmanDC - is trying to hide his association with the Obama administration... pic.twitter.com/pmQMQRgE4m — Charlie Spiering (@charliespiering) June 5, 2014
Look, I'm not a fan of premature speculation either, but come on now. The evidence has been out there for years, and there's no shortage of documents and data about his actions prior to going AWOL. To libel Bergdahl's platoon mates as being "psychopaths" without a shred of evidence is jumping to a premature conclusion himself. This is demonstrating a complete lack of respect for American soldiers, and is absolutely disgusting.
Looks like he's gone native in the Beltway.
Brandon, YOU are FIRED.
An elitest fawn, from behind the ruffled drapes of the White House, dares to openly denigrate US infantrymen and gets by with it??
OMG! Is this going to stand?
What a P(pile)OS. Where in heaven’s name do those things come from? I simply cannot comment anymore on that shlt.
Amen, dear brother, AMEN.
Obama is willing to tank over this dude?
Won’t be long now before Bergdahl goes under the bus...
The flood didn’t come because the water got too high. It was because the ground was too low.
Bergdahl isn’t a two-bit collaborator puke. Dozens of his colleagues are psychos.
Uh huh ...
If anyone follows Megan Kelly on twitter, she might appreciate having this info/link. She is supposed to have on 6 of the Traitors Platoon mates tonight.
Well, SOMEBODY involved with the chain of command demonstrates psychopathic, or at least sociopathic, behavior.
The upper ranks and some of the middle ranks have been under a singular degree of culling, taking out all the more rational and seasoned officers, and substituting “politically reliable” favored officers.
The Current Regime is very quickly getting the army they want. It may not favor the fortunes of the territory once known as “the United States of America”, though.
“They’re coming to get you, Barbwa...”
“Won’t be long now before Bergdahl goes under the bus...”
Not so sure...I’m going with Military Psychologist will have their arms twisted to find Bergdahl has some kind of mental disease. Pity, sympathy 6 months of treatment..... not guilty, free as a Bird.
He'll likely throw the deserter under the bus once his diversionary usefulness has expired.
The lying Obama administration attempts to Swift Boat the rest of his platoon.
Bump
Brandon, Brandon, Brandon.. you little twerp.
any thing to coverup Benghazi and four dead..
due to incompetence.
SO bergdahl was the only normal one?
Is it normal to walk away into Indian country unarmed?
Is it normal to “forget” how to speak English?
Is it normal to instruct your enemy how to more effectively conduct ambush attacks on your fellow soldiers, even if they are psycho?
At least the administration is admitting Bergdahl fleed his platoon. Won’t be long before Bergdahl is gay and was chased away from his base by homophobic bullies.
I did not know that the wheels ever were on liberal logic.
The bigger question is have West Hollywood and SOMA been emptied to employ all these very puffy guys in this administration? Is O afraid of a man more manly than Mooch???
Yes, because the Pubbies are too chickens**t to do anything about it. You know, the worthless, spineless cowards we keep sending back to DC?
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
I expect McCain and Graham, busy breaking eggs of evidence against a lawless prez, will surely circle back to this low life and make his future miserable.
Kelly and Greta could also fire up the grill on this one.
