Those are not my words, but those of a veteran working as a contractor with the same Army division from which Bowe Bergdahl deserted. This young veteran could not possibly have stated the predominant view of our men and women in arms, still out there, spread round this globe, protecting us round the clock, more clearly. Regardless of all the whitewash the Obama spinmeisters try to put on this Bergdahl situation, the troops know the truth: the man is a deserter, a traitor, and a collaborator with enemy forces enemy combatants who killed the very Americans seeking to free him. In our troops eyes, he is not deserving of the red carpet, brass band, and ticker tape reception our clueless administration had planned as a political triumph and photo-op for our Anointed Leader.
Here is what that veteran has to say about all the Defense Department fanfare surrounding Bergdahls release, ginned up, no doubt, by the White House political machine:
When a soldier deserts his post, when he writes that he is ashamed to be an American, when he gives the enemy secrets (and he did), he is no longer one of us. He is a traitor. He is not a brother-in-arms.
Soldiers risk their lives for each other every day on the battlefield, there is a trust and respect they have for each other. For Bowe Bergdahl to break that trust and the Secretary of Defense to announce a heros welcome instead of a court-martial is a huge let-down.
He isn't one of their own. He is one of them. He is the enemy.
That's not something to celebrate.

Says it all.
I Bergdahl were Buddist there might have been a few lines in the local paper but Obama wouldn’t have giventhe time of day to him or his parents.
If Bergdahl were Buddist there might have been a few lines in the local paper but Obama wouldnt have giventhe time of day to him or his parents.
This is because the Obama Administration views Bergdahl as a comrade and fellow traveler and it views the US military as an enemy.
It's that simple.
Remember, almost all of the lawyers who followed Eric Holder from his law firm to the Department of Justice to fill high level position in DOJ were the Mob lawyers for the terror detainees at Guantanamo Bay
As with any revolution, the terms “patriot”, “hero” and “traitor” are defined by the victors.
“We One” are the current victors.
“White House Values Treason More Than Honor”
Easy to do when there is NO honor in the white hut.
When a President deserts his post, when he writes that his wife was ashamed to be an American, when he gives the enemy aid, he is no longer one of us.
