Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl has declined to speak to his family after five years in harsh captivity that included being held in a cage after one attempted escape, according to a U.S. official familiar with the Army soldier's recovery.
Doctors treating Sgt. Bergdahl at a U.S. military hospital in Germany are moving slowly because of the swirling controversy over the soldier's release, the U.S. official said.
While he spent five years in captivity after being captured by Afghan insurgents in 2009, Sgt. Bergdahl doesn't yet want to talk to his family on the phone, the official said. Details of Sgt. Bergdahl's captivity were earlier reported over the weekend by the New York Times. NYT -0.13%
Sgt. Bergdahl has likely been shielded from most of the backlash his release has generated in the U.S. Some former platoon soldiers have accused him of deserting his post, and lawmakers from both parties have questioned the decision to trade America's lone prisoner of war in Afghanistan for five Taliban officials held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

It takes a herd. ..of goats...
Didn’t you get the our new memo/meme?
I think Bowe’s appreciation for muslim/Afghan “culture” might have changed a bit twardo the negative after being forcibly sodomized a few hundred times as a prized infidel dancing boy.
What if his dad, amount others put ideas in his head prior to his desertion. What if he thought what he was doing was right but he became disillusioned?
He may not want to talk to his parents because he blames them for it all.
Bingo! You nailed it.
Let's remember that the one who more than likely knew the most was the CIA dude who got outed. I'm betting he'll be Fostercized if he hasn't already.
I've suggested that the parents were part of a cell. Let the games begin.
I suggested that the parents and Bowe are/were actually part of a cell. It’s the only thing that makes much sense to me.
I think they are staving him before he gets to the states so he looks nice and held in captivitish
My questions.
What color is his rug.
Does he insist on Halal.
Kinda noticed that no one has touched on those two points.
My impression is that Bowe may have had a falling out with his family before he joined the Army. Didn’t he move in with the ballet teacher while still a teen?

On the thread above, I saw this post:
“On Google Plus, Robert Bergdahls contacts you include that of Anissa bint Yusuf Zaid Ibn Youssef. Why shouldcare? Because this individual is a 10-year member of an Al Qaeda technology support team. Yep, the father of deserter Bowe Bergdahl looks like his Google Plus contacts included AL Qaeda.

Is that somewhat similar to what we use for criminals who attempt to escape? Something like a 'jail cell'? With bars etc? And how long was Bergdahl in there? A day - a week? A month?
If he's convicted of desertion he'll be put in another 'cage' by the US military... one with AC, cable TV, and hot meals... but still - a 'cage'.
Keep asking the question, why did 0bama release 5 top terrorist commanders!!!
