“Mary Mapes and Dan Rather, please pick up the white courtesy phone.”
Soon, a letter written on an IBM Selectric dated “June 12, 2010 A.D.” (they’re learning!) will appear in the other soldiers’ files complaining about the lack of disciplinary in the platoon.

"Well, where are the OTHER deserters from that unit?
(crickets)
Shut up, NYTs."
Indeed! For that matter where are the other deserters from any unit? I'm not aware of any.
The only "raggedy" thing in his unit was he himself. He's what we used to refer to in my day as the Platoon "S__t - Bird."

Oh, in the article? That’s their stylebook, same as the Wall Street Journal and most of the British newspapers.

I don’t give a s**t about anything else. Those guys went out into hostile territory to try and get Bergdahl back.
What a chickenshit article from a chickenshit writer at a chickenshit newspaper.
They risked their lives to get a deserter back and the New York Times dishonors their courage and devotion. What a cowardly, foolish article.
Just one of those Soldiers in that unit has more courage, compassion and commitment in one little finger than every journalist in this country lumped together has.

When you’ve left the service, you don’t hold rank any longer, unless you retired after 20 years or some other situations. No one calls me “Specialist 6 ****** anymore.

Desperation by the biggest water carrier for Obama. So lame and weak.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
But other members of the unit who spoke on the condition of anonymity offered similar accounts. The anonymous source.. a NY Times registered trademark.
Talk about being trapped behind enemy (The NY Times') lies.
It's just a matter of time before they print a story that an anonymous fellow soldier said that Bergdahl stole a helicopter and killed the six troops himself.. or some wild tale like that to use to mock those who don't worship the One.

The NYT found a narrative that’s gained traction in Leftdom.
