Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, the last American prisoner of war, returned home early Friday morning, his hero's welcome supplanted by a controversial prisoner swap and his reputation tarnished by accusations he was a deserter.

He arrived in San Antonio from a military hospital in Landstuhl, Germany, where he'd been recuperating since his release May 31 in exchange for five Taliban figures held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

The 28-year-old Bergdahl, the longest-held American soldier since the Vietnam War, was taken to the San Antonio Military Medical Center.

Mr. Bergdahl may have entered the United States, but I do NOT think he has come home.

First time in fifteen years I got a comment removed.

Do I have to say “opposite of Sunni” from now, on?

I had the correct number of i’s and a capital “s”.

Well, there is a first time for everything.

You were referring to the Islamic sect not using it as a substitute for a slang word weren’t you?

What about the ones who honorably served? They have a long road, as well, and aren’t getting the attention this slug is getting.

More than likely he will, and he will say all you members of the vast right wing conspiracy acted stupidly, and that he really did serve with honor and distinction. No doubt a book deal, a movie, and a pardon will be offered as well. Susan Rice will be the MC. Tickets are $50,000 a plate. Never let a good chance for a fundraiser go to waste.
