“the logistics of him moving to and from the FOB.”

Probably the same method Bowie Bergdhal took - he simply walked off.

“In the early-morning hours of June 30th, according to soldiers in the unit, Bowe approached his team leader not long after he got off guard duty and asked his superior a simple question: If I were to leave the base, would it cause problems if I took my sensitive equipment? Yes, his team leader responded – if you took your rifle and night-vision goggles, that would cause problems. Bowe returned to his barracks, a roughly built bunker of plywood and sandbags. He gathered up water, a knife, his digital camera and his diary. Then he slipped off the outpost.”

That story doesn’t even come close to what was put out as the official story for what happened with Bales.

But, like I said, I wasn’t there, and I don’t know what happened. Neither do you. You feel free to speculate wildly, but there’s a LOT of explaining left to do.
