Bowe Bergdahl was a hero who survived approximately five years of imprisonment amongst the Taliban, so spun the Obama administration. They secured his release by trading five high-ranking Taliban. People cheered his return until his fellow soldiers spoke out, calling him anything but a hero. There are rumors that the Coast Guard turned him down for psychiatric reasons, that he went AWOL while in basic training, that he left the base to go drinking with locals, and that he gave actionable intelligence to the enemy. Just recently the Army decided to charge him with desertion and misbehavior before the enemy. American Thinker interviewed several military-related individuals about their feelings regarding the Bergdahl controversy.
Kenneth Luccioni lost his son Matthew, one of six who died while on a mission following up leads to find Bergdahl. He is outraged that the president paraded Bergdahl’s parents in a Rose Garden ceremony and that many in the administration called him a hero. He told American Thinker, “I was insulted for a number of reasons. When Matthew died I was not invited to the White House and only received a preprinted auto letter. Then after the firestorm started people were assassinating the character of the men who served with Bergdahl. They were actually heroes twice: when they volunteered to defend this country and when they stood up for the truth about Bergdahl. They are vindicated now, but were accused of being renegades, discipline problems, and liars.”
The Obama administration is still trying to spin it favorably, stating that ‘Bergdahl served his country.’ While that may be true, those interviewed say they will finish the sentence: ‘Bergdahl served his country dishonorably, badly, and instead of served, substitute betrayed.’ Debbie Lee, the mother of Marc Lee, the first SEAL killed in Iraq,..

The Unibomber was a scholar........until he became the Unibomber.
Hold on to your hat :: caught just a smidge of a young man who stated that Bergdohls unit DID have “some issues! “
Expect MSM and liberals to expand upon his comment
I’d like to see Bergdahl become a scholar at Leavenworth University, let’s give him a 50 year full scholarship.
Bet my left one he will go to some variation of Club Fed.
There was more to this deal than just Bergdahl. Our President is being blackmailed by the enemy. He needs to step down and let Biden have a shot at it. At least Biden can’t be blackmailed over Libya.
That’s if he gets any time at all, he’ll likely get a slap on the wrist with some kind of plea bargain.
Obama is correct, Bergdal did serve America, the same way the boy king is servicing America.
Both are guilty of treason.
Probably so Jaz, but I wouldn’t want to be him in private life, having to look over his shoulder every day. He will be lumped in with child molesters, and the like, by the average Joe.
Correct.
Bump!
White House trying to make chicken salad out of chicken sh*t
I’d like to be on Turd Doll’s firing squad
I’ll bring the shovel.
Misbehavior before the enemy is similarly difficult to prove. My money says he cops a plea to Art. 86 — Absence without leave and Art. 92 - Failure to obey order or regulation as "lesser included offenses," gets some type of restriction, which will be waived, an Other Than Honorable discharge, forfeits the back pay and walks the same day.
Yep, that wouldn’t be a surprise.
0bambam does not want this going to a CM, the quicker it’s over the less embarrassing for him.
Bergdahl is another disordered gay like PFC Manning.
Wouldn’t you like to see the two as room mates——It’s the only way either of them will last very long?
