Something’s fishy about all of this. Call me cynical but are you telling me the Taliban showed mercy towards an American soldier? Don’t you think they would have savored the opportunity to torture and slaughter this guy, or am I misreading the whole thing? Or maybe they know enough of our political leadership or lack of it that they knew they could use Bergdahl as a bargaining chip on Gitmo.
I think the whack-job father had tenticles into the radical Muslim world while this soldier was in Afghanistan. His bizarre comments yesterday suggested he had pals in the CIA, the FBI, the White House, the Mossad, the PLO and the IRA! He was one well-connected UPS driver!
But seriously, one of his emails to his son told him to “follow his conscience.” I think shortly after this, his son deserted. I think the father is the key in this story. Just my opinion.
