The Bergdahls are all "Victims." That is spin #23 this week regarding this story.

Photoshopped, but you get the idea.

[Vendome]

It’s Queerios...

Obastard/Lib/Prog plant on the military just for propaganda purposes.

[5th MEB]

Sodomized? yes. Tortured? no.

[5th MEB]

Damn, your right.
LOL

The Obama admin will never let him back on US soil.

Well, in that particular instance, crime sort of DID pay-but Baltar’s character was played as a chameleon anyway-I’m not sure he had a “real” personality-first time I saw the series, for a couple of episodes I thought he was a cylon just like his 6 was.

The one I was thinking of was another young guy who was always on the bridge of the Galactica-dark hair, slight build...

U.S. Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl has told people treating him at an American military medical facility in Germany that he was tortured, beaten and held in a cage by his Taliban captors in Afghanistan after he tried to escape, a senior U.S. official said Sunday.

Wait, wait, wait. Back up a little, "Sgt." Bergdahl. Tell us how your "captors" "captured" you in the first place.

Probably exactly what happened. He may not have been little Johnny Jihad, just some skull-full-of-mush moron from a hippy-dippy family who thought he could pull a Timothy Leary and "Turn on, tune in, drop out" from the Army and do a walkabout in Afghanistan. The Taliban probably couldn't believe their luck when they came upon him looking for some poppys, and grabbed the idiot.

That's what I'm guessing, head full of whimsical theories put there by dad, sure he was going out to play Dances With Mullahs, and just had the longest wake-up call in history.

[Texan5]

He should be so lucky-I don’t think there are any goats-and certainly no 6’s in Ft. Leavenworth...

[COBOL2Java]

LOL. “Dances With Mullahs”...

[PghBaldy]

Could be true. I imagine the Taliban would do the same to their own people who try to escape or defect. Or could be lies...

[Ez2BRepub]

He was tortured? What did they do, force him to watch a Michael Bay movie? “OK Infidel, you will watch Transformers again and again..”

No, constant loops of obama speeches

[Hot Tabasco]

Like great granny used to say. If you go looking for trouble, you’ll usually find it.

Like my grandfather used to say: "If you want to sell bull shit, first soak it in perfume..."

[FreeAtlanta]

Torture? No, that is just how those animals show affection. He gave them everything they wanted, so now they just showed him the love they show to each other.

[matt04]

They looked liked they hadn’t showered in a week when geysers appeared at the white hut.

[tobyhill]

Well then let’s put the Taliban on trial. Oh, never mind, we let them go.

Letter 3 days before “capture” (nature walk),”The future is too good to waste on lies. And life is way too short to care for the damnation of others, as well as to spend it helping fools with their ideas that are wrong. I have seen their ideas and I am ashamed to even be american. The horror of the self-righteous arrogance that they thrive in. It is all revolting. In the US army you are cut down for being honest [...] but if you are a conceited brown nosing shit bag you will be allowed to do what ever you want, and you will be handed your higher rank... The system is wrong. I am ashamed to be an american. And the title of US soldier is just the lie of fools [...]The US army is the biggest joke the world has to laugh at. It is the army of liars, backstabbers, fools, and bullies. [...] The few good SGTs are getting out as soon as they can, and they are telling us privates to do the same. [...] I am sorry for everything here. These people need help, yet what they get is the most conceited country in the world telling them that they are nothing and that they are stupid, that they have nfo idea how to live. We don't even care when we hear each other talk about running their children down in the dirt streets with our armored trucks [...] We make fun of them in front of their faces, and laugh at them for not understanding we are insulting them...I am sorry for everything. The horror that is america is disgusting [...] There are a few more boxes coming to you guys. Feel free to open them, and use them.”

I’ll pass on defining torture, but after spending 5 years with 8th century barbarians he’s fortunate his head is still attached to his neck. Daniel Pearl was not as fortunate.

[dragnet2]

Military doctors say that while Bergdahl is physically able to travel he's not yet emotionally prepared to be reunited with his family. He has not yet spoken to his family.

It's hard to believe there are people who exist that are stupid enough to believe this concocted cow flop.
