A cover-up....how very typical of this Administration.
EXCLUSIVE: Outraged parents of officer who died searching for 'deserter' Bergdahl hit out at Obama for 'cover-up just like Benghazi', claiming they were told LIES over how hero son died | Mail Online
EXCLUSIVE - 'A cover up just like Benghazi': Outraged parents of officer who died hunting for 'deserter' POW Bergdahl lash out at Obama over 'LIES' they were told about how their hero son died
Lt Darryn Andrews, from Dallas, Texas, died at the age of 34 on Sept 4, 2009 during his second tour of Afghanistan
Top brass told his parents, Sondra and Andy, that he had been looking for a top Taliban commander
But former comrades have now claimed the truth is that he was looking for Bowe Bergdahl
Said to be one of six soldiers who died looking for the POW
Father said: 'For his family its good to get him back but we will never be able to get our son back because of the actions of this guy'
Lt Andrews' parents revealed their son thought Bergdahl was a 'deserter'
Lt Andrews was posthumously given a silver star for his bravery
At time of his death his wife Julie, 30, had already given birth to their son, six. Their daughter was born three-and-a-half months after he died
Father Andy against trade with terrorists
The Facebook group 'Bowe Bergdahl is NOT hero!' has 5,400 members
Bergdahl e-mailed his parents saying he 'was ashamed to be an American'
This has blown up badly, really badly. On top of everything else, every other lie, this is almost too much.

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.
Trading five terrorists for one deserter
Brilliant
If obama keeps up the military could turn on him. He lets five top commander terrorists free for one american hating traitor. He let veteran's die in va hospitals. Excuse my french, but Obama is a piece of shit, not even worthy of wiping a soldier's ass.

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 can really tell that the RWrs don't know how to handle this...their vitrole is all over the place.![]()
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.

That is all fine and good. We are dealing with what we know. Not what we do not know.
Here is a Tweet from his father.

Do you believe the father that the reason he read in Arabic because he feared his son did not understand English?
These are what we know. ALong with the disparaging things he has said about the country.
That is what we are commenting on.

No. I believe that his Father is a Taliban supporter and sympathizer. I believe he hates this country and was instrumental in his son deserting to the Taliban.
Both he and his son - traitors.

We have something in this nation called the Constitution; your country is different it appears. One is entitled to legal process prior to conviction, read up on it,

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.
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.

Like we "tracked the guns" in fast n furious? Pahlezzzz
