So the fact that the Pentagon undermanned an FOB made Bergdahl desert and join the Taliban. Yeh that will hold up.
When will the Left accuse Blackfoot Company of kidnapping Bergdahl, placing him in the control of the Taliban?
Not buying it a$$holes
Hell, if I’d ever been in a “raggedy” unit I would have laid down arms and marched my ass right over to the neighborhood VC cadre!
JESUS LIVING LORD FUNNY THEY DIDN’T DO THIS WITH CALLEY’S UNIT WHICH WAS ABOUT AS RAGGEDY AS YOU CAN IMAGINE... FILLED WITH SPARES, REPEATEDLY EMPTIED, 4FS, ETC. HERE FOR THE FIRST TIME “THE UNIT” IS THE BULLY, THE VICTIMIZER. THE MARINES ARE THE CREATORS OF TRAITORS...
When will the feminized former America wake up?
Yes I agree. The platoon should have fraged him after the first dissertion but they carried on with discipline and focus. He was a traitor in my view and should now be executed. obama must now be impeached and sued by the parents on the dead ordered to find the SOB. obama is a scum bag.
Typical lefty tactic. Smear everyone and then you muddy the waters so that everyone is tinged with guilt and Bergdahl the traitor is made into a victim. We can see through all this but the useless low info crowd will have been mollified. The mainstream media is absolutely shameful in their covering up for the Dems.
“So the fact that the Pentagon undermanned an FOB made Bergdahl desert and join the Taliban. Yeh that will hold up.”
In today’s America, that would be a good bet. And George W. Bush will be to blame.
Richard A. Oppel Jr. and Eric Schmitt: probably nepotism hires who started with a hypothesis and then did the research that got them to the conclusion. You can tell these types who are “searching to bolster their conclusion” because they call themselves “journalists, searching for the truth.”
The Collaborators at the NYT certainly are a busy bunch.
I wonder of they’ll have any time to uncover Obama’s College Records and find out why he was listed as a Foreign Student?
If they were “raggedy” who could blame them with the ROEs that Obummer put in place. He hates the military,and they know it.

NBC face Meet the Depressed will be a belly laugh. I will Tape. I expect them to come out with this tripe, I fully expect slander suits to fly. This is contrived bull shit but what is happening is a complete disaffection of hard corp military— or what I mean is —hatred of that traitor president.
I’d like to have two armies: one for display with lovely guns, tanks, little soldiers, staffs, distinguished and doddering Generals, and dear little regimental officers who would be deeply concerned over their General’s bowel movements or their Colonel’s piles, an army that would be shown for a modest fee on every fairground in the country. The other would be the real one, composed entirely of young enthusiasts in camouflage uniforms, who would not be put on display, but from whom impossible efforts would be demanded and to whom all sorts of tricks would be taught. That’s the army in which I should like to fight.

They were soldiers, not Marines.
I think I see what they’re doing here, so let me try to translate the substance of the story (given to the Slimes by the White House).
See, Bergdahl was like idealistic Private Chris Taylor in the movie `Platoon.’ And his sergeant (below) must have been similar to ruthless, bloodthirsty Staff Sergeant Barnes; unhappy with the lack of discipline and with the fact that the Army wasn’t like the Peace Corp (and the presence of weapons? although per the Slimes, he was a fierce warrior) Private Bergdahl—they keep calling him sergeant for some reason—wandered off to see if he could find happiness and enlightenment in, say, the mountains of China or Nepal but, unfortunately, was captured by peace-loving indigenous Afghani freedom fighters.
And the four or five Afghanis traded for him were only foot soldiers, or garden variety `fighters,’ so no biggie after all and let’s all just move along.
” ...replaced by the platoons sergeant first class, who was popular and respected by the troops. Then, a few months later, the sergeant found himself in trouble after pictures appeared online showing some in the platoon wearing bandannas and cutoff T-shirts. Such garb was not uncommon at remote combat outposts, but it angered and embarrassed commanders, and it helped lead to the sergeants dismissal soon after Sergeant Bergdahl disappeared.”
Amazing isn’t it, how after five years Sergeant Bergdahl lost his English? He’s completely tongue-tied.
In a criminal trial where everyone knows the defendant did it, a smart defense attorney prohibits his client from taking the stand.
So what have we heard from the one person who would know exactly what happened here, Bergdahl?
crickets
There are parts of Texas in which the guy would need some serious protection!
He has little to look forward to in the US, for sure.
He could probably live somewhat safely in Massachusetts.
