Shut up, read and stop making a fool of yourself:Sure enough, rumors and speculation are being cited as fact, such as the soldier being a deserter. Some anonymous person starts a rumor years ago, and now it grows legs with people who are less interested in the truth than they are in perpetuating any conjectures which could stain the political opposition.
Fellow soldiers call Bowe Bergdahl a deserter, not a hero - CNN.com
I'm sure he's already given them all the information he had. That makes him a hero to the left and worthy of their praise.I'd rather have our traitor on OUR soil in OUR jail than I had have him spilling military intel to the Taliban on THEIR soil ..
we can always send drones after those turds we swapped and erase them at a later date
"Lured off base"? Have you even been in? You don't get lured off base.There have been many conflicting accounts of his disappearance. The offical Pentagon story was that he had been lured off base by some Afghan regulars and then captured by the Taliban.
Was Bergdahl ever officially declared a deserter by the Army?
Nope.
Again, all speculation.
I wait for facts before claiming to know them.

Bergdahl was lured from his post in eastern Afghanistan by several Afghan National Army soldiers on June 30th, 2009, and then taken by Taliban fighters in a nearby village, according to a senior Pentagon official.

Bowe Bergdahl's Father Asks Taliban for Captured Soldier's Return - ABC News
I can't help but wonder why conservatives are so stupid.
For example, I would imagine that Bergdahl will be worth a fount of military intelligence, especially since he speaks the language and had undoubtedly overheard a lot of conversations in the last five years. Just the wealth in names, dates, and places would be inestimable.
Furthermore, I have a sneaking suspicion that our gov't is going to track the movements of the released Gitmo detainees in ways that no other gov't can do. We'll find out where they go and who they meet with. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if a predator drone eventually locates them in some kind of terrorist reunion with Taliban types we previously didn't know about.
But you know what? Conservatives simply can't conceive of such things because they're always viewing events through the same prism of antiObamaism. No matter what happens, their response to events is always the same.
It's the same blind mantra that makes them think that any economic problem can be addressed by tax cuts; it's simplistic and wholly unsophisticated. Conservatives simply do not recognize complexity or nuance. They approach issues like children in the sense that they're always overreacting emotionally, and that they don't see let alone even understand the larger picture.
Simply put, these simpletons aren't the kind of people who should govern; they're just not smart enough.
This is what he thought of the Army and the US.
Bergdahl’s dream was to help Afghan villagers rebuild their lives and learn to defend themselves, his dad told the magazine.
“The whole ‘COIN’ thing,” Bob explained, referring to America’s strategy of counter-insurgency. “We were given a fictitious picture, an artificially created picture of what we were doing in *Afghanistan,” the dad said.
Bowe Bergdahl would detail his disillusionment with the Afghanistan campaign in an email to his parents three days before he went missing.
“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.”
I seriously doubt that this jerk will offer anything to hurt the Taliban.
The moment it was learned that this was approved by the president, this guy became a traitor. It is failure to think on a monumental scale. There are USMB nutters calling for his execution.
U.S. officials had told The Associated Press that a soldier vanished after walking off his base with three Afghans, while the Taliban said a drunken American soldier had come out of his garrison and was captured by militants

If you meant Obama's then you really should have capitalized the "His".

Yes, by all means let us exploit the deaths of yet more Americans in the zealous partisan pursuit of secular power.

I was in the Army, and I can tell you that it was common for the rank and file soldiers to have a jaded opinion of command decisions and the rationale for doing anything. Too often decisions were made be people who were completely separated from events, and that led to disasters. Vietnam is a case in point. Iraq is another. Very often, American commanders and military strategists don't understand the culture and hence the people who live there. Is there any reason to think Afghanistan was or is any different?
At any rate, the pictures of Bergdahl would indicate that he was poorly treated. Whether he suffers from Stockholm Syndrome, I could't say. But it sounds to me like Bowe differentiated between the populace and the Taliban, and the Taliban is just the latest group of armed men in the form of tribal warlords to impose their will on the local population in order to keep and maintain power. My guess is that Bergdahl's sympathies are with the villagers who are just trying to survive under whatever group is currently running the show while not trying to run afoul of these groups who don't seem to need much in the way of provocation to rain down death and destruction on the local populace.
