I only know the reported info on this, wh/ is always subject to error. But this just seems like a mess. And way too suspicious.

Is Bergdahl a plant for something else?

Hell yeah it's suspicious.

Bergdahl is a piece of shiit that not only deserted the ARMY, but he also said he was ashamed to be an American, and that he thinks Americans are revolting.

But Obama's quick wit and ability to negotiate got us a deserter that hates America back for the release of five Taliban terrorists...

This administration is absolutely fuucking disgusting.

We lost lives of patriots while looking for this ass hole, and his former platoon is pretty pissed off about how this all went down, from what I understand.

The First Lady made a similar statement. Seems to be par for the course under this administration.

Just what I was thinking... And she's not a lady by any means. I made a thread with all the links and a more detailed title for those who don't know about this Bergdahl douche. He also claims to have forgotten most of his English and only speaks their language. Yeah he must have "REALLY" suffered. Thanks Obama, for trading five Taliban terrorists, for one American terrorist.

Fine. But, he still wore the uniform. If you don't want to try him for treason, then just bring him home and put him under VA care.

LSU - can you provide a link to your thread?

Good luck tonight if you're a baseball fan. Beat the Longhorns if they get through.

Very big fan of LSU baseball, I'll be watching, thanks!

that's cruel and unusual punishment.

Hey, if he is in fact a deserter, five beds just opened up at Gitmo...

Imagine our troops are wondering what the hell are we doing serving
and fighting and sometimes dying to let Obama send the top five terrorists home.

Is it just me, or are the administration's talking points just a bit off? If they had been consistent, I'd have no problem with them. But they are not consistent with their message - it's all, ALL about politics. This prisoner swap knocked the VA scandal off the news pages for a few days now. How convenient.

How many others heard administration figures say yesterday or today that the U.S. military does not leave men behind?

I'm sure that is great comfort to the Benghazi 4. They sure got left behind. Not the fault of the military, but of the Commander in Chief, who had political ramifications to consider. Now that it is convenient, they claim we don't leave men behind. Either they are completely tone deaf about the consistency of their messages or they have learned something from the Benghazi debacle.

As a human, I'm glad for the young man and his parents that he is coming home. I'm not so glad that he did what he did, though.

I think that after he has had some time to readjust, there SHOULD be some consequences for him for what he did. After all, men died looking for him. You can't let him walk away scott free. Plenty of soldiers have misgivings once in battle - difference is, they DON'T desert their units and go looking for the enemy to play nice with.

I'm not sure that letting him leave custody is a good idea...

In the hours after he disappeared, according to sources familiar with the intelligence, U.S. troops received an intelligence report that Bergdahl stopped in a local village and asked how to find the Taliban. That report, if it exists, is not mentioned in the Wikileaks documents related to Bergdahl's disappearance. But several sources with knowledge of the case insist that the report is true.

Some dude in his unit was quoted on NPR this afternoon saying exactly that. That he'd heard the radio call to that effect.
