Reports Surface That White House Knew All Along About Bergdahl’s Desertion
Daily Caller ^ | 4/17/2015 | JONAH BENNETT

Contrary to some media speculation, top military leadership knew as early as late 2009 that Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl had deserted.

During an open-book question and answer session in Afghanistan, members of Bergdahl’s platoon directly asked then-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Admiral Mike Mullen whether he was aware of Bergdahl’s desertion.

Mullen “told me that he knew of the circumstances surrounding his walking off,” former Sgt. Matt Vierkant, one of the platoon members, told Fox News, and “that they were developing leads and following leads, trying to do everything they could to get him back.”

Evan Buetow and Cody Full, also platoon members, confirmed the account.

...the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate...

I just posted this on a previous thread. Appropriate.

Whatever became of that creeper? I heard he was charged with something but haven’t heard a resolution. I don’t think General or Special Courts Martials take as long as a civilian trial so we should have heard the GUILTY decision by now. I just know something is up and we are going to disappointed.

No doubt - but it had to be quashed because admitting it would have put a stain on trading terrorists for a deserter....anything to reseed the terrorist’s ranks...

Waiting for his Article 32 hearing (akin to a civilian grand jury); he was charged barely a month ago.
