An Army veteran who served alongside Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl in Afghanistan said Wednesday that the long-captive soldier was deeply frustrated with the mission and had lodged false allegations that their unit had carried out atrocities.
Bergdahl “didn’t understand why we were doing more humanitarian aid drops, setting up clinics, and helping the populous instead of hunting the Taliban,” former Spec. Cody Full told lawmakers during a hearing on the exchange of Bergdahl for five Taliban detainees at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. “He wanted to hunt and kill.”

The Taliban released Bergdahl to U.S. Special Operations forces May 31 after he had spent nearly five years in captivity. Bergdahl, the last American service member to be held captive in Afghanistan, went missing from his remote outpost in June 2009 and was seized shortly thereafter.
In exchange for his release, the Taliban officials were transferred to Qatar, where they will be held for a year before being sent back to Afghanistan.....

Cue that 1971 video
No wonder his brothers in arms don’t like him.
Bergdahl ping.
Read the comments at the Post and you’ll lose all hope for our nation.
THAT was my first thought too.
well maybe he got his wish with the Tolly bon
That’s what I was thinking. Is he planning to run for congress from Massachusetts?
I do not have to read the posts to lose all hope for this country. I lost most damn near a generation ago and nothing has happened since to change my mind. Just strengthen my belief..
This testimony doesn’t make sense, but maybe I am missing something.
I’m a little confused by this too.
First they said he was a sensitive and fragile poet/artist. Now he's bloodthirsty.

I’m confused. I thought Bowe was the fish out of water, having been raised as a pacifist. I thought he marched off into the Afghan night looking to hold hands and sip tea with his new Taliban Pals. I’m starting to think we will never know the real story.
Oh, man! Hang him twice!!!
What do they say?
Perfect running mate with Elizabeth Warren.
Warren — Bergdhal 2016!
It sounds to me like he told his parents exactly what they wanted to hear in his e-mails to them. He also was telling the people in his platoon exactly what they wanted to hear.
If I found myself in a situation where I was going out on combat patrols with heavily armed people, I don't think I would be engaging in ideological debate with the other people in my fire team/squad/platoon.
I'm guessing his true feelings were more in line with what he was telling his parents.
