For five years, soldiers have been forced to stay silent about the disappearance and search for Bergdahl. Now we can talk about what really happened.
It was June 30, 2009, and I was in the city of Sharana, the capitol of Paktika province in Afghanistan. As I stepped out of a decrepit office building into a perfect sunny day, a member of my team started talking into his radio. Say that again, he said. Theres an American soldier missing?
There was. His name was Private First Class Bowe Bergdahl, the only prisoner of war in the Afghan theater of operations. His release from Taliban custody on May 31 marks the end of a nearly five-year-old story for the soldiers of his unit, the 1st Battalion, 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment. I served in the same battalion in Afghanistan and participated in the attempts to retrieve him throughout the summer of 2009. After we redeployed, every member of my brigade combat team received an order that we were not allowed to discuss what happened to Bergdahl for fear of endangering him. He is safe, and now it is time to speak the truth.
And that the truth is: Bergdahl was a deserter, and soldiers from his own unit died trying to track him down.

I know the US military doesn’t do coups, and their commanders are all 0 cronies, but 0 is trying his hardest to make sure America’s active military and veterans suffer. I’m surprised this hasn’t boiled over by now.
This is open, undeniable TREASON. We have senators running around saying 0 broke the law. If this doesn’t rouse the people, we are completely neutered. Maybe when our electricity bills hit us this summer........
I’ve heard that Obama acted inappropriate with this woman during the press conference - hands on her hips, etc.
I’m just assuming he’s trying to pretend he’s not gay.
This does - at this point - look like it’s blowing up in Obama’s face. So I’ll assume the media will pretty soon shut down the story and ban Daddy Jihad from the airwaves. He has been the primary force in causing the uproar due to his incompetent and narcissistic tv appearances. He makes Cindy Sheehan look like a pro.
From the articles I have seen so, Dad seems to be a hippie nut-case, and probably instilled the same confused, ridiculous values into his son so the nut is not falling far from the tree.
CNN is on it pretty hard as well.
Even the leftists are bailing on Hussein. They now know he has sunk their party good for the next several election cycles and any of their so-called policy achievements will be reversed (Dodd-Frank, Obamacare, all of the EO’s he signed).
Plus the IRS investigations will lead to prosecutions of some lowerlings who may finally step forward to indicate that it was all coordinated through Obama’s White House (RICO).
Just sayin'................

.
But we have our deserter back to join the ranks of the fifth columnists in America and gave up five terrorists to join the ranks of others bent on killing Americans worldwide.
Awesome lose-lose deal.
Gathering around for a little Muslim prayer.
Nothing like a peaceful Muslim gathering...I’m sickened.

Post # 4 drives me nuts when pix get posted and the individuals aren’t id. OK who’s the broad ? And who’s the dope with the beard ?
Mother and father of Bowe Bergdahl, at the press conference announcing his "release".
As in "No Muslim Left Behind?
Bergdahl’s lib looking mommy and papa. Didn’t label them as I thought a FRper would have instinctively known who they were...
> How did a PFC achieve the rank of Sgt?!
He was “promoted” after he was captured. You’ll have to ask the Army why.
Conversion to Islam. I’m surprised they didn’t promote him to Captain after getting several of his own men killed in the name of Islam...
