Don’t know what news you watch but it’s been reported that the squad he was attached to went out looking for him and subsequently were killed. Don’t correct me, correct the news source. As for the other comment of mine, most people know what LWOP means, however for you I’ll let you know it means: Life WithOut Parole. Thanks for playing and have a nice day.

The photographs of the 6 dead soldiers are in post # 20. My source that no one from Bergdahl’s squad was killed in the subsequent searches for him was from the mouths of his fellow squad mates on Megan Kelly’s and Sean Hannity’s tv shows.

If one can’t trust them to say that none of the members of their squad were killed I don’t know who to trust. And they stated that they knew that other soldiers of the several hundred involved in the search were killed.

Here is a link to Breitbart story that lists the names of those killed: http://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2014/06/04/the-names-of-those-who-died-searching-for-a-deserter-named-bergdahl/

“Though the 2009 Afghan presidential election slowed the search for Bergdahl, it did not stop it. Our battalion suffered six fatalities in a three-week period. On August 18, an IED killed Private First Class Morris Walker and Staff Sergeant Clayton Bowen during a reconnaissance mission. On August 26, while conducting a search for a Taliban shadow sub-governor supposedly affiliated with Bergdahl’s captors, Staff Sergeant Kurt Curtiss was shot in the face and killed. On September 4, during a patrol to a village near the area in which Bergdahl vanished, an insurgent ambush killed Second Lieutenant Darryn Andrews and gravely wounded Private First Class Matthew Martinek, who died of his wounds a week later. On September 5, while conducting a foot movement toward a village also thought affiliated with Bergdahl’s captors, Staff Sergeant Michael Murphrey stepped on an improvised land mine. He died the next day.:
