Released POW was 'ashamed to be an American.

The bizarre tale of America?s last known POW | New York Post

Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, the last known American POW, was freed after five years in captivity — an ordeal that began and ended in Afghanistan under a shroud of mystery.

The Taliban turned over Bergdahl Saturday morning to US special forces in exchange for five notorious Islamic militants who had been held at Guantanamo Bay and will be sent to Qatar, where they will stay for a year under the terms of the trade.

At least one of the prisoners, ranking Taliban leader Khairullah Khairkhwa, had direct ties to Osama bin Laden.

Bergdahl was picked up by helicopter in western Afghanistan, near the Pakistan border.
After climbing aboard, the 28-year-old Idahoan, trying to communicate with his rescuers over the roar of the rotors, scrawled “SF?” on a paper plate — asking his rescuers whether they were special forces.

“Yes,” one of the men shouted. “We’ve been looking for you for a long time.”
The Army infantryman — himself nicknamed “SF” by his comrades for his gung-ho interest in special-forces tactics — began to weep.

Bergdahl’s parents, who had lobbied continuously for his *release, had not seen him by Saturday night, but intimated that he faces an arduous recovery from his ordeal.

Bergdahl is speaking in what appears to be Pashto, said his dad, Bob Bergdahl. It was not clear whether his son can still even speak English, Bob said.

When the father spoke to his son — for the first time in five worried years — it was to say both in Pashto and English, “I am your father, Bowe.”

“We will continue to stay strong for Bowe while he recovers,” said his mom, Jani.

The search for Bergdahl began soon after he went missing on June 30, 2009, in the same rugged wilds of southeastern Afghanistan where NFL player-turned-Army Ranger Pat Tillman was killed.

Bergdahl’s mysterious disappearance from the small military outpost there and the subsequent revelation that he was in enemy hands prompted questions that still linger.

Soon after the capture, Taliban commander Mulvi Sangeen claimed a drunken Bergdahl was snatched while he stumbled to his car in the Yousaf Khel district of Paktika.

The US military called that a lie, and in one of the videos taken during his captivity, Bergdahl himself said he was captured while lagging behind a patrol.

But in the weeks before his capture, Bergdahl had made murky statements that suggested he was gravitating away from the soldiers in his unit and toward *desertion, a member of his platoon told Rolling Stone.

“He spent more time with the Afghans than he did with his platoon,” former Spc. Jason Fry told the magazine in 2012.

As a teen, the home-schooled son of Calvinists took up ballet — recruited to be a “lifter” by “a beautiful local girl,” Rolling Stone reported, “the guy who holds the girl aloft in a ballet sequence.” The strategy worked: Bergdahl — who also began dabbling in Budd*hism and tarot card reading — soon moved in with the woman.

Even as a teen, he could fire a .22-caliber rifle with precision.
At age 20, he traveled to Paris and started learning French in hopes of joining the French Foreign Legion.

His application was rejected, and he was devastated, the magazine reported.

Bergdahl would drift for years, working mainly at a coffee shop near home. He briefly considered moving to Uganda to help villagers being terrorized by militias before deciding on a different *adventure.


I am sorry for everything here,” he wrote. “These people need help, yet what they get is the most conceited country in the world telling them that they are nothing and that they are stupid.”

Bergdahl also complained about fellow soldiers. The battalion commander was a
“conceited old fool,” he said, and the only “decent” sergeants, planning to leave the platoon
“as soon as they can,” told the privates — Bergdahl then among them — “to do the same.”

“I am ashamed to be an American. And the title of US soldier is just the lie of fools,” he concluded. “I am sorry for everything. The horror that is America is disgusting.”

Why Bergdahl was captured in the first place remained a mystery by the time high-level US government talks began in 2012 regarding a trade for his release.

“Frankly, we don’t give a s–t why he left,” one White House official said at the time. “He’s an American soldier. We want to bring him home.”

There was fierce debate over exchanging him for the five Taliban combatants. Sen. John McCain, himself a former POW, once described the five as “the five biggest murderers in world history,” according to Rolling Stone.

Something is obviously suspicious about this, but then again this is the Obama administration.

He has shown clear disdain for America. There is still mystery as to how he was captured. Now, he was exchanged for terrorists.

Of course, like the administration has said, they do not care how he was captured.

Really John? You forget about someone named Hitler?
 
Trading five terrorists for one deserter

Brilliant

That was a slap in the face for every man and woman who ever put on a uniform and served their country honorably.

As a former Marine I have five words for the deserter: Fuck you Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl,

And for The Commander In Chief, just three letters: WTF ???

Do you know the guy is a deserter?

The American people, the idiots among us, wanted a community organizer for their leader. Now they are telling us they want a woman next time. I don't think the loons will ever learn their lesson.

That's interesting. You ought to tell your party to put that on a bumper sticker. It's a winner.

You agree with the statement?
 
put it this way leftard; how did voting for a half-White "Black" man just because you wanted a Black President work out for America?
record welfare and food stamps is his legacy

and a divided country
 
I wonder if some people think that it may be more intelligent and wait for more concrete facts to come out before making a judgment. This soldier may have some good intelligence for us, I wonder if that's another reason that we made this trade. I suspect we are tracking those 'Gitmo Five' in some way and hoping that they will lead us higher up the food chain.
 
No, asshole. Do you agree with the sentiment that a woman cannot handle the job as POTUS? Can you read and follow along?

Your black and white shit is stupid. President Obama has done an excellent job given the circumstances. He didn't suck Boehner's cock....and that pissed you off.
 
This administration is a disaster of absolute epic proportions. I don't know how anyone cannot see it.

Basically our voices of logic are like farts in a hurricane. What we are seeing the absolute and complete destruction of this country on behalf of the American hating pieces of shit on the left.

From the education system who only invites committed left wing hacks to speak at their universities with their bullshit and lies and refuses to allow anyone with a conservative voice to speak.

It is only going to get a lot worse. It is that lost folks. If they start handing red scarfs to teenagers, that is the time to get really worried.
Face it? The left has launched a war on this Republic. They have a POTUS that is realizing their dream for them, and why they defend him even though he breaks the law, and lies to the American people.

Payback will be HELL for these people.
The Left has given us a government powerful enough to tell us what we must buy, that being Obamacare. The flip side is that this powerful government can also tell us what we cannot buy, that will be abortions, marijuana, etc. The government was given a mandate to require anything of us, thanks to the Leftists.

No pissing and moaning when we are in charge again, Leftists!
 
calm down nutjob. I agree Hillary isn't up to it; neither is Obama

in you're world that probably makes me a racist and sexist person

ur a joke though; so who cares what you think?

The only reason no doubt, and yes, we may have "changed" the minds of those we release, or own them in any case. The US can not only torture as was allowed under Bush Ii, we have the best brainwashing techniques, much more subtle than pain, or violence.
