I HAVE TO QUESTION THAT IF BOWE WAS A DESERTER WHO JOINED THE TALIBAN AND DENOUNCED HIS COUNTRY AS IS BEING SWORE TO HERE, WHY WASN'T HE WELCOMED WITH OPEN ARMS,PARADED AROUND, ALLOWED TO DENOUNCE THE U.S. AS OTHERS THAT HAVE DEFECTED. INSTEAD OF BEING LOCKED IN A CAGE? SECONDLY WHY DID HE SEEK TO RETURN TO THE UNITED STATES? HE WOULD HAVE BEEN A VERY IMPORTANT HERO AND INFORMANT FOR OUR ENEMIES. A INVALUABLE PROPAGANDA TOOL! WHY WAS HE INSTEAD TREATED AS A PRISONER AND GOTTEN RID OF. WHY WAS HE NOT SEEKING ASYLUM?? HE DOESNT LOOK LIKE A TRAITOR HERE EVEN IF HE WALKED OFF HIS POST. AS THOUSANDS WALKED TO CANADA DURING VIETNAM OR LIKE TED NUGENT FAKED DEFERMENTS.

Meet the next Ambassador to Benghazi...................

Bud Eckert • 9 years ago

the town of hayden idaho is planning to have a huge celebration in bergdahl's honor on june 28th--i encourage all of you to contact the mayor of hayden idaho with this message--"it is our understanding that your city government is planning to honor a deserter. bergdahl's desertion led directly to a number of american combat deaths--we are planning to stage a massive veteran's protest against this celebration. what type of permits will we need for our intended protest of your city's intention of honoring a deserter"

if the city of heydon hears from enough irate veterans, perhaps they will rethink the idea of honoring a deserted who should be court-martialed rather than honored

This
is not only an insult to America, but to our troops and vets. This
punk is a deserter, a traitor and a coward! He should immediately be
taken into military custody and face prosecution and either be sentenced
to life without parole at hard labor or hanged by the neck until dead!

Obama as well should be charged with dereliction of office,
giving aid and comfort to the enemies, accessory to terrorism and
murder, organized crime, and organizing terrorist activities and TREASON
charges and likewise face life in prison at hard labor or be hung by
the neck until he stops twitching!

But we all know nothing is
going to happen except Obama giving this son of a bitch a ticker tape
parade and declared a Fn hero and held as an example of true American
heroism in the face of the enemy.

iowaan • 9 years ago

Take him out and shoot him(Bergdahl), although what Obama did is criminal. Just like they should have taken the terrorists out and shot them after interrogation. Geneva accord doesn't apply, they didn't sign up.

howie roak • 9 years ago

Usually I do not criticize combat soldiers, marines, etc because my experience is that on any given day we can be the hero, coward or the average Joe. it depends on the mood, the thoughts in your head or even a letter from home. I also do not criticize decision made in combat since I made good and bad ones, sometimes at the same time. I do not criticize the level of stress each one can handle since again on any given day...

However, I do criticize the expenditure of resources and lives to rescue a doomed man. In 1968 at Khe Sanh the Green Beret outpost was being over run. The Marine commander knew sending anyone to rescue them was a suicidal mission and he wasn't going to endanger 20-30 lives attempting to save 2 - 3 men. Thankfully the men survived and it was the right decision. it broke everyone's heart but it was the right decision.

Him leaving his post was a bad decision. Going out after a deserter was a bad decision by the field commanders. Trading 5 enemy combatants for him was a bad decision.

I say let it go. War sucks and no one I know was perfect in it. Just do not welcome him home as a hero nor punish him for a dumb decision.

What will happen to our great nation if this man is allowed to continue with his plans to destroy us. He has made July gay pride month, and set regulations on the coal industry, and released the murders of American soldiers all in one week without even consulting congress or the American people. Ten years ago you could have not convinced me this would be possible in my life time ..GOD HELP US

Beaver Cleaver • 9 years ago

It's time to Court-Martial this traitor and hang him by the neck until dead and then impeach the treasonous dog the set the 5 Taliban free. Obama must go! IOt's pathetic the lengths this administration will go to get away from the next scandal. Obama can't get away from the VA and this last straw should be the one that breaks the camels back. I would like to see him go to prison too.

cheechakos • 9 years ago

Democrats will spin this as:
No soldier left behind no matter what the cost.
American military lives are valuable to us.
see we love our soldiers so much we rescued one.

So they can disconnect from the VA scandal

shelflife • 9 years ago

with daddy preaching from the obama playbook. geeze...joining in 2008 and the dolt didn't have a clue. i wonder if there was any influence from this group [not kos] appeal for redress - people joining the military not to serve but to stir up dissention from within.

Man, now that's some smart power for you right there. Give them 5 top terrorist, they give us a worthless deserter you should be tried for treason but won't be. Barack Hussein Obama, undermining our country in ways big and small.

dogwonder • 9 years ago

So the DOD promoted him in absenta, even though he deserted? That must make the fallen soldiers families feel real special.

Sam1427 • 9 years ago

Some of the men who served with Bergdahl are speaking out. Go read the milblogs and you'll find some outrage and real anger. Bergdahl deserted in a war zone. His reasons don't matter. He deserted his unit. Men were killed searching for him. That's the bottom line. He deserves to face a court-martial. Almost assuredly he won't.

Obama just put the price on American lives: 5 Taliban/Haqqani commanders and possibly an unknown sum of cash. Traitor.

RubyTwoThree • 9 years ago

My guess he won't have much of a life and will wish he was back in Pokistan. He will have to look over his shoulder for the rest of his life.

Bklynnygirl • 9 years ago

Although he was a private when he walked away, Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl was promoted twice in captivity and is scheduled for another promotion to staff sergeant.

CNN’s Barbara Starr reports that a defense official confirmed that Bergdahl is scheduled for a promotion to the rank of staff sergeant later in June of this year.
Bergdahl was a private when he went missing and was promoted to the rank of specialist in June 2010. He was promoted in June 2011 to the rank of sergeant.

He got these two PROMOTIONS while they knew he deserted, and now their giving him another promotion later in June of this year.
This administration should be tried for treason.

Karma Schadenfreude™ • 9 years ago

MolonLabeNOW • 9 years ago

The Pentagon concludes he is a deserter in 2010 and Hagel (the secretary of Defense) and the WH didn't know this???????????????????????????

Emudude • 9 years ago

Just another White House cover up like F&F, Benghazi, IRS and the VA.

west1890 • 9 years ago

Of course they knew. They do what they are told-they are not Rhodes Scholars. And next the O admin is following it up with raising the price of electricity thru the EPA's carbon control edicts so that the average American will be paying through the nose for electricity-and the price of everything affected by the increase in power costs will "skyrocket". Yep, we're under full assault in case you hadn't noticed. But this carbon reduction BS is going to affect EVERYBODY, including LIV's. Let's see how much they will love him and excuse everything because he claims to be black. At this point it should be obvious to even the biggest idiot that he is Arab and Muslim through and through.

Altair • 9 years ago

So he IS a deserter, but they want to whitewash it a bit so they can avoid the unpleasantness of a court martial.
Bergdahl may come to wish he had stayed with the taliban. He will be VERY unpopular within 50 miles of any military base. And only idiot liberals anywhere else will have anything to do with him.

Toothless Dawg • 9 years ago

FTA - "... members of his unit portrayed him as a naive, “delusional” person who thought he could help the Afghan people by leaving his army post, the official said."

Which, when he left his unit for places unknown while in a combat zone, becomes desertion.

myrtle • 9 years ago

I thought desertion during times of war was a hanging offense. Does that mean Bergdahl faces a military tribunal once he gets to the US? He must be a war-time deserter if we are trading prisoners since by labeling the prisoners, POWs, we're admitting these gitmo slimes are prisoners of war.

RubyTwoThree • 9 years ago

If we had a sane and competent administration that is how it would be. Jeffrey Dahemer(sp) didn't last long, and I don't Bergdahl will either. Someone, somewhere will see that he has a misfortune.

Emudude • 9 years ago

Susan Rice came out today stating that Bowe Bergdahl served his country with Honor and Distinction. He is due to get another Promotion (to E6) later this week just before coming home.

When is this Congress going to DO SOMETHING about all the crimes Obama has committed against the Constitution and the law? Releasing those Muslim terrorist from Guantanamo is all political and I hope it bits him hard.
I hate to say that as it puts all good Americans in harms way. He has to fall
soon…I am really hoping!

west1890 • 9 years ago

They're going to "hold a hearing". :O
They've been holding hearings on his scandals and NOTHING happens. We see no meaningful results and before you know it-another scandal comes to light. Let's face it-Congress has become nothing more than co-conspirators in the destruction of the USA.

http://soopermexican.com/20...
"Hold a hearing" has become a punch line.

So instead of quietly doing the deal, Hussein makes a big show of the release.

Why?

cheechakos • 9 years ago

To thumb his nose at a law,play savior to his Obamabots,distract from the VA and pretend he loves the military .

So he can disconnect from the VA scandal with:
No soldier left behind no matter what the cost.
American military lives are valuable to him.
see i love our soldiers ,i rescued one.

west1890 • 9 years ago

To enrage the American people and get the VA scandal off the front page. Worked, didn't it?

imsteph • 9 years ago

agreed-everything they do is a lie. smoke and mirrors to cover up even more lies and evil.
something wicked this way comes-this entire administration is evil personified...in league with every enemy they can find and support every position of death: death to the economy, death to freedom, support lifestyles of death, death to innocent children, death to our service men and women, death-death-death.
everything they touch.

west1890 • 9 years ago

an accurate and precise summation of their agenda!

josephistan • 9 years ago

The AP is reporting this. Not Rush, not Breitbart, not The Blaze, but an accredited member of the MSM. But that won't silence the liberals who want to say that bergdahl is just a new "Willy Horton"
