Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl was physically abused during his five years in Taliban captivity and is suffering from psychological trauma, a senior U.S. official told CNN on Friday.

Poor guy’s probably being knocked around right now, need to come up with scars, bruises, or hell anything. That’s why he’s been in hiding so long.

To: Oldeconomybuyer
Well, he did want to be their toy boy.

Well, it’s possible he was deluded enough to desert, but they treated him like crap anyway, rather than accept him with open arms. Life’s full of surprises.

Oh, so an unnamed official of a lying administration who refuses to go on the record is not giving us disinformation. Sure.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
Nonsense....they are trying to generate sympathy for this traitor.
Try him, and hang him
