Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl recently returned to duty, and was interviewed by Army investigators. This has many people confused and upset. If Bergdahl is a deserter or even a traitor, many Americans wonder why he still in the Army, or feel that if he wears a uniform it should be in a stockade. Other people, mainly on the left, see Bergdahl as a hero. Also, regardless of how Bergdahl ended up with the Taliban, he might have critical intelligence for the United States, making him valuable. Thus, Bergdahl’s case presents a perplexing problem for the Army. In the end, I suspect, the final outcome of this case will not please those who, like the president, think Bergdahl is a hero, or many veterans and other Americans, who see Bergdahl as a deserter and traitor.
President, Obama’s Rose Garden announcement of Bergdahls’ exchange for Taliban terrorists, accompanied by Bergdahl’s bizarre parents, made this case, like much else in America under his administration, more complicated. Obama’s evident glee as Bergdahl pere quoted from the Quran, the pomp surrounding the announcement of the exchange, and his spokespeople’s descriptions of Bergdahl as a “hero” leave little doubt as to where the president stands on the matter.
As the Commander in Chief, Obama is supposed to keep these things to himself. He might have learned that lesson when he stepped over the line in discussing sexual assault cases in the military, but Obama doesn’t seem to learn much. The generals and admirals who eventually have to decide whether to prosecute cases, as political animals themselves, are not immune to the clear preferences of their boss, even though they are supposed to ignore him with respect to judicial decisions.

Lying, terrorist-sympathizing POS!
(And I don’t mean Bergdahl!)
Amen...My keywords are in the right order.
Paint him pink.
Ahh! Inadvertent giant picture!
It’s most appropriate for that shot.
Not a "sound mind" in the place.
And why doesn't the son want to talk to them? Cuz he was very happy where he was.
They put out that picture because they thought it would make Obama look like a kind and paternal regent, in a glowing shot of an American hero's family that all the nation would embrace.
It was within an hour of the release of that dopey staged shot that it became apparent how much the deal stunk and Bergdahl and his family were creepy suspected Islamic sympathizers at best.
My guess is the army will find him as being AWOL and he will receive an honorable discharge...very sad!!

I suppose this rules out another group “Rose Garden Moment” : )
Exactly!
I’ll believe the soldiers who served with him before I’ll believe anything that this corrupt administration says.
They didn’t embrace his homosexuality,so he ran off in a tearful snit!
Agree. When one spends even one or two days in combat with another you know that person damn well. These men in his platoon know him much longer and they damn sure are right.
Wouldn’t hanging the traitor by the neck until dead solve the army’s problem?
That is what he deserves or a firing squad. I can think of one traitor from the Vietnam /SE Asia conflict who actually went on combat OPS with the VC. Sadly the SOB is free as a bird. He was a Marine who went AWOL. I can’t think of his name this AM.
