Army general to start investigating how, why Bowe Bergdahl left base

A two-star U.S. Army general will begin investigating this week how and why Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl left his base in Afghanistan, resulting in his capture, a senior defense official said.

Bergdahl spent five years in captivity until his release May 31, in exchange for five Taliban figures being held at a U.S. military detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Bergdahl, 28, returned to the United States -- specifically to an Army medical facility in San Antonio, Texas -- early Friday.

Though the investigation begins this week, it's not known when the sergeant will undergo formal questioning.

The senior defense official declined to name the general who will investigate until there is a formal announcement.

Looks like our gubmint is doing an investigation THAT'S ALREADY BEEN DONE, but redoing it with the narrative that suits justifying Obamadullah's trade for 5 Taliban commanders..

Liars, traitors all. ALL OF THEM.

I wonder if he will be allowed to come to a conclusion that Obama will allow.

Well if he tuned into Megyn Kelly last week he already knows why and how Bergdahl left. Six comrades in arms laid it out pretty well.

The original 15-6 Investigation Findings will probably never see the light of day. There’s a new two star sheriff in town, with marching orders.

Geez. Maybe his feelings were hurt or something. Did his squad not let him play frisbee with them? I’m sure there must have been a good reason. Or he is simply a deserter.

If the two-star general comes back with the above type excuses - this is gonna backfire on democrats... big time.

The out of touch elites in DC might buy a stupid excuse - because they've never served - but the people in flyover won't buy it...

that investigation should have commenced immediately following his leaving his post and the incident report of his unit received - and completed within 990 days. What’s going on??

Those were not the findings the Emporer was looking for.

A great opportunity for the general to get another star from the Community Organizer-In-Chief.I’ll bet the difference in pension benefits is something like $2,000 a month.

Either he was physiologically unstable and thus never should have been allowed in the army in the first place, or hes a deserter with traitorous intentions.

One way or the other the man should not be allowed to rejoin the American population until this is determined. For all we know this ‘soldure’ was indoctrinated as a sleeper agent.

Now they admit he left and want to blame it on a gate guard or something?

Desertion is handled at battalion level. I know this because a guy I went to basic with and later my first duty station went missing for 5 weeks and spent 5 years in Leavenworth for that. Well, he did steal the Colonels mustang when he left which is why he didn’t just get an OTH and sent on his way. Good tough guy but too much family baggage growing up.
