The Obama folks have based their end around of Congress on the Bergdahl release, on the idea that Bergdahl was in such poor health that 30 days of waiting would have been too long. Many members of Congress have been saying that once Bergdahl is here, his health needs to be examined to see if this claim has any justification.
On the surface, we can judge for ourselves. The video of the release is all over the world, and Bergdahl does not appear to be sick, injured, or even the slightest bit incapacitated. He was standing upright and walking without so much as the assistance of a cane. When PFC Jessica Lynch was medically evacuated, she was carried out on a stretcher, and the look on her face spelled out one word > PAIN.
My guess is that once Bergdahl is back and checked out, it will be by military medical personnel firmly in the political grasp of their Commander in Chief, and the "analysis" will reflect that to the hilt (AKA a LIE).
