I know a CLOSE friend of the Bergdahls. I know they are being misrepresented on this board; badly.

Please do set the record straight. The father proclaiming "allahu Akbar" or "god is great" in whatever language is puzzling. (where have we heard that phrase before? His beard and study of Pashto is puzzling. The tweets are disturbing, if true. Please tell us if none of this is true. I am not flaming you. Just asking for your version of things.

Thanks for the tone. I am not trying to defend desertion, the death of six excellent soldiers, or Islam here, not at all.

The father’s behavior is VERY recent. As in, two days old. All his life, lots of public stuff, nothing like this. It’s very sudden. I suppose learning Pashto took time, but did he learn it or did he just get told a few stock phrases to say? My impression, and it’s only an impression, is that he was being handled. Why? I don’t know. Bowe’s out. Was that part of the deal? I don’t know.
