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.

Rahm?
His father's tweet:
Robert Bergdahl
@bobbergdahl
@ABalkhi I am still working to free all Guantanamo prisoners. God will repay for the death of every Afghan child, ameen!
Are we sure his “parents” aren’t just actors? They don’t seem like parents in their emotions. They seem phony.
First he was treated well playing soccer and eating foods he liked to now abused,tortured and in a cage.
Guess Obama team didn’t think he was getting enough sympathy .
Or deprogrammed - or reprogrammed...
Forgot English!!!
Is that what they are saying??
“And where are his *loving* parents?”
They are “loving” it! They’re sure to save their son from prosecution and a jail sentence because that’s saving the regime from a more disastrous scandal and not “another phony” one when the opposition to 0b0z0’s deeds is joined by big commie dems.
“Forgot English!!!
Is that what they are saying??”
That’s what his father said. No one else.
The Taliban killed more children than anyone!
The whole thing might have been orchestrated, planned and acted out from the beginning as an excuse to get these top ranking Taliban leaders released. Is any of it real?
Wouldn't surprise me in the least. Straight out of Central Casting.
wherever he goes I don’t think hes long for this world...
his Afghan “friends” will put him down...
Maybe Bowe will come out of the hospital with some interesting head scars similar to those of you-know-who...
don’t Swan Lake me, Bro...
He is expendable. He has served his purpose.
That whole “forgot his English” thing smells to high heavens. After speaking English for 20-plus years, there’s no way in hell that he would have forgotten it in five.
exactly...
Sgt. Bergdahl doesn’t yet want to talk to his family on the phone, the official said................................................. Phone calls can be tapped, and recordings made by the “right” people. Conspiracy wise, he’s being prepped, guarantee there is a team of lawyers already there pro bono and under presidential orders. Deciding how to make a dead fish come back alive smelling like a rose. (LOL, I just remembered a Carlie Chanism; “Even rose in fish market, smell like fish.”)
I bet his Taliban buddies spoke English to him...
