Here’s a tin foil hat theory for you: what if Bowe is simply a pawn to be “disposed of” by a “right wing gun nut” plant for being a traitor? It could be the Reichstag fire this administration has been desiring.
I would not put it past them. From what I have seen from this Administration, your assessment is entirely possible.
It could happen, but it’s hard to believe in it as advanced planning. After all, Bergdahl has been a willing hostage, a deserter, it seems. He doesn’t seem the type to think THAT far ahead.
