Who Vetted This Bergdahl Guy?

[PapaG]

What an absolute disaster for Obama. A guy who goes AWOL after writing to his parents he is ashamed of being an American is trying to be passed as a hero? This makes no sense to me. His dad thanks Allah in Arabic and then Tweets about releasing more Gitmo detainees? Woah.

He represents most Americans' views. Plus, he and his father have red beards, so they can play pirates when they go Hollywood.

Americans died looking for this deserter, and the Taliban received 5 senior people in return?

I'm baffled by it. Hagel being met by silence when he announced it to troops in Afghanistan is the most awkward moment of the entire thing.

If this guy really did desert his fellow troops, and if the names of those published as dying while looking for him are true, then this fucker deserves a court martial, and possibly executed for treason, depending on what happens. It's been 5 days since the "real" release, and not one glimpse nor word from this guy. Only his dad Tweeting about more prisoners at Gitmo.

(CNN) -- The sense of pride expressed by officials of the Obama administration at the release of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl is not shared by many of those who served with him -- veterans and soldiers who call him a deserter whose "selfish act" ended up costing the lives of better men.
"I was pissed off then and I am even more so now with everything going on," said former Sergeant Matt Vierkant, a member of Bergdahl's platoon when he went missing on June 30, 2009. "Bowe Bergdahl deserted during a time of war and his fellow Americans lost their lives searching for him."
Vierkant said Bergdahl needs to not only acknowledge his actions publicly but face a military trial for desertion under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
A reporter asked Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel Sunday whether Bergdahl had left his post without permission or deserted -- and, if so, whether he would be punished. Hagel didn't answer directly. "Our first priority is assuring his well-being and his health and getting him reunited with his family," he said. "Other circumstances that may develop and questions, those will be dealt with later."

This story just gets more unbelievable. Former soldiers are now breaking the "non-disclosure" agreement they signed about this Traitor, just so the truth gets out.

Former Pfc. Jose Baggett, 27, of Chicago, was also in Blackfoot Company, and said he was close to two men "killed because of his (Bergdahl's) actions."
"He walked off," Baggett told CNN. "He left his guard post. Nobody knows if he defected or he's a traitor or he was kidnapped. What I do know is he was there to protect us and instead he decided to defer from America and go and do his own thing. I don't know why he decided to do that, but we spend so much of our resources and some of those resources were soldiers' lives."

On August 18, 2009, Staff Sgt. Clayton Bowen and Pfc. Morris Walker were killed by an IED in the search for Bergdahl. Staff Sgt. Kurt Curtiss was killed on August 26; 2nd Lt. Darryn Andrews and Pfc. Matthew Michael Martinek were killed after being attacked in Yahya Khail District on September 4; Staff Sgt. Michael Murphrey was killed September 5 by an IED at the Forward Operating Base, Sharana.

It's been 5 days since the "real" release, and not one glimpse nor word from this guy.

I'm guessing it might take him more than 5 days to mentally recover from 5 years of torture and imprisonment.

The U.S. always takes freed prisoners, military or civilian, to a base in Germany which has a unit which watches them for a few days to 1) make sure they stop talking like the "enemy" they've been around for so long, and 2) get them talking about horrible fables of mistreatment.

That's where he is. When his ideological "sanity," as they define it, meets with their approval, he will fly to a Texas base to meet his parents and report for duty.

Geez, if any of this is fact???

This all seems like the first season of Homeland.

It's a very strange case.
