The Bergdahls will be RICH

[tinydancer]

I'm sure that he probably has an interesting account about being a hostage for five years.

Amen! Apparently the SUPPORT THE TROOPS mob can't even support a five-year POW. I wonder if McCain can...

The problem with some of these blowhards, is that they blow their wad too soon. OUTRAGE! OUTRAGE! OUTRAGE! before more concrete facts come to light. If they were smart and in the right, they would wait to see what more information reveals and wait until September to start freaking out.

FACT: The guy is a Soldier and part of our military.
FACT: We do pride in leaving none of our military men and women behind.
FACT: He is entitled to due process, that's what the UCMJ is for.

I do think that there should be an investigation and if he is in fact in the wrong, he should be prosecuted. Some of these fools have already convicted him in the court of public opinion and didn't even give him a chance to tell his side of the story. So much for their alleged "support for the troops"...............

I don't consider his fellow soldiers blowhards. They are the ones that kicked everything into high gear. His former supervisor started the FACEBOOK page that Bowe was not a hero.

They are the ones breaking their silence. They are the ones that put up the petition at the White House website.

He willingly deserted': Freed POW's former platoon-mates call for him to face COURT-MARTIAL as they reveal how he left post. Army made comrades sign gagging orders

Specialist Cody Full, 25, says Bowe Bergdahl is 'a deserter at best, and a traitor at worst'

Specialist Gerald Sutton, 31, calls the newly rescued infantryman's decision to desert his unit 'premeditated'

Both men, who served with Bergdahl in Afghanistan, say he should be hauled into a military court to face the music

'He's not a hero. He's not a good example,' Full told MailOnline

'We the Platoon': A White House petition to 'punish Bowe Bergdahl' for going AWOL and deserting the U.S. Army is demanding a 'trial by court martial,' and thousands signed in the first day

Can Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl financially profit from his story?

LOS ANGELES – The Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl story is dominating the headlines as congressional criticism over the Obama administration’s exchange of the Army POW for five Taliban detainees grows.

Now entertainment insiders are telling FOX411 that the complicated tale of is gaining a ton of interest from Hollywood as well.

“The sheer volume of questions surrounding Bowe’s story is exactly why a publisher would love to tell this story," one publishing source explained. "The public wants to know.”

But Bergdahl may not be able to financially profit, at least not right away. As long as he enlisted in the Armed Forces he cannot officially be involved in any entertainment-related deal. Once his tour ends, however, he can cash out.

What if he suffered from PTSD and/or other medical problems?

What if he didn't ? But lets say he did would that justify desertion? He would not be the only solider who has suffered from something like that but he is to date the only one I have heard about who left his body armor and weapons behind and walked off his base.

PTSD can justify many crazy things. However, Bergdahl didn't go berserk and kill a bunch of his teammates like some have done.

Various reports have stated that Bergdahl had been a good soldier. So, why did he no longer give a shit?

People can also have it or a mental illness and still distinguish right from wrong why he did what he did is the question he will have to answer. Is he deserter maybe a traitor or hero no one can say for sure at this point.

Unlike the Kardashians - the Bergdahls actually have a worthwhile product (story) to sell that many millions of people will want to hear and see. Plus, their story will continue to grow during the coming months.

A story on how to be a deserter and possible traitor? I doubt many will want to read about it. Don't expect it to make the NY Times' Bestsellers list.

And yes, the story will continue to grow...like out-of-control cancer cells.

Thanks to books, movies, speaking engagements, and all the free publicity from Obama haters. Ain't America great...

Indeed, I cannot wait for the movie about Berdahl's "capture" to be released after his court marshall.

I understand it could be ready by October, 2016.

Who do you think will play the 6 comrades that died looking for him?

Yes, the future looks bright for Bergdahl. Maybe he'll get a job working on Hillary's campaign staff.

It might make an interesting story that he suffers at the hands of the Taliban for 5 years only to come home and be harassed and accused by his own country people for political points.

If Jane Fonda and Bill Ayers can still get speaking gigs, i guess one more traitor doing the lecture circuit won't be so surprising.

Yes his testimony at his court marshall should be better than any fiction.

I predict Obama will prevent it from happening until after the 2016 elections.

Obama: "I make absolutely no apologies" for Bergdahl prisoner exchange - CBS News

There is nothing to apologize for.

Letting a known mass murderer of innocent Afghan civilians walk free is something he should be ashamed of. This is Fazi. His favorite people to kill are Shiites.

The men being released include Taliban ministers and commanders. One of them, Mohammad Fazi, is accused of presiding over a mass killing of Muslims in 2000 and 2001.

Human Rights Watch has said that Fazi could be tried for war crimes over the mass killing, which took place as the Taliban tried to consolidate their control over Afghanistan.

Of course, while the 6 who were killed looking for his deserting ass will still be dead and their families mourning.

actually stupid, they would make more money if it is true he didn't desert.

how can you be this stupid?

Are you calling all his fellow soldiers liars?

Of course all the men who served with him must be liars. They must be. Spreading false rumors and all.

Only Susan Rice is telling the truth that Bowe is a hero who served with honor and dignity. Because fellow soldiers lie, but Susan Rice would never ever tell a lie would she?

Full, too, was in Bergdahl's unit. And he's anguished at the thought that at least six soldiers died on missions to find him in the early, frantic months after he went missing.

'This soldier knew what he was doing,' Full said.

'He left us. He willingly and premeditatedly deserted his comrades. And he put his team, his squad, his platoon, his company, and thousands of other American soldiers in Afghanistan at a very high risk trying to find him.'

'If he didn't desert, and he was still in the platoon, those soldiers would not have been in the locations where they were killed ... because they wouldn't have been out there looking for him.'

Sutton said he 'felt like I was in immediate danger all the time' after Bergdahl left. 'All of us did. We were sent out for about 30 to 35 days straight looking for him.'

How do you feel about people making him into a hero and saying he served with honor and distinction for political points when it seems they knew that claim was questionable at best?

Two more out of the 30+ in the platoon. Course I didn't know Susan Rice and BHO were leading that pack of liars.

Oh there is no doubt whatsoever that he walked away. Obama haters? Bite me. They resent Bowe with a passion. He is the one that they are angry with and righteously so.

Good men were lost looking for Bergdahl.

A Pentagon investigation established in 2010 that on that Tuesday, Bergdahl abandoned his platoon in a war zone near the Pakistan border while serving with the 1st Battalion, 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division.

The Idaho native's disappearance led to an all-hands-on-deck manhunt in Afghanistan's Paktika Province, as thousands of troops were diverted to rescue a man who left the safety of his outpost with his eyes open.
