Emails an American soldier reportedly sent to his parents before he was captured by the Taliban three years ago suggest he was disillusioned and considering deserting.
Bowe Bergdahl told his parents he was "ashamed to even be American" and was disgusted with the U.S. mission in Afghanistan and with the Army, according to emails quoted in Rolling Stone magazine.

Why is CBS reporting this? It makes Obama look bad.

This is just more Kabuki theater designed to give Obama an excuse to release five muslim terrorists.

I noticed he didn’t shave his beard. Did he convert to Islam? Is anybody asking?

This is starting to look like a 6 for 0 trade. The only ‘advantages’ I see are:
1. Obama’s PR numbers will improve marginally and temporarily.
2. The Taliban will know that we are, in fact and for at least another couple of years, their friend. This in turn will lead to a short pause in their aggressive efforts to destroy our way of life.

CBS was willing to hang him out to dry in 2012 but now that he's free and we have 5 murderers running loose they praise Obama.

There’s a reason why they did not kill him in a gruesome way. I don’t like to speculate about a pow’s motives, but how he got captured raises all sorts of questions.

There is something very bad going on here, in my opinion. I see this as a release of high Ranking Islamist for something else besides this deserter ? Are we being black mailed ? There is something besides this guy that we wanted. I think it is weapons that we gave them to use on Qaddafi but just a guess. This is the strangest thing in a sea of scandal after scandal. This guy joined the enemy and his Father was Tweeting crap aiding the enemy? Who’s side is this horrible president on.

Which is why I suggest the Hugin Doctrine—only go to war if you intend to destroy the enemy regime and kill their leaders.

Seems there’s a possibility this guy walked off from his post AWOL.

I'm not sure Bergdahl can legitimately be classified as a POW. There certainly wasn't a military action taking place when he disappeared. He claims he was captured July 14, but his unit identified him as being missing July 1. ???

Belive it or not Jake Tapper is actually apparently trying to contact that soldier who is telling the truth about what happened when Bergdahl waltzed off base in Afghanistan. If its true this whole thing is just insane.
