Probably because it’s true. Five of that group died trying to find him. He should be shot. Period. No, wait. Only soldiers should be shot. He should be hanged.

I agree with you. The more we learn about Bergdahl the more it seems like he may have developed schizophrenia.

Yep, and dulusions of grandeur, common to many leftist nutcases, that led him to believe that in his small role in the conflict he could cause some change in a direction he thought to be more humane, or whatever such leftists think.

Weird.

I thought Brandon Friedman was a Nazi sympathizer and a pedophile.

He never said any different....

Don’t you mean FLDS polygamist and cannibal? Did he act in a manner reminiscent of Ghenghis Khan while in Iraq I wonder?

His credentials/position accompanied his tweet screed, for heft I’m sure.

FIRE this guy, who is far prouder of his resume than our fighting infantrymen.

If he belongs to any veterans group, I hope that they oust his backstabbing ass, ASAP.

Your intent was to lie about servicemen who did serve with honor and dignity. You should be ashamed to call yourself an American. We sure are.

Its’ not likely that a spokesman for HUD or any other dept/agency would be “civil service.” Political appointees have usually had a specific designation, not the same as non-political.

The V.A. has been reputedly one of those terribly run govt agencies for as long as I can remember. Tho I doubt before now, or before Clinton, it was with callous disregard.

This vet is particularly warped, and probably why he fits so well with this Administration. The will stretch, bend, twist, do or say anything to come up with rationalizations for inexcusable behavior. It’s who they are.

He wrote an article for Time Magazine June 3, 2014 and was on Obermann’s show in 2008 representing VoteVets.org (i think that’s the website) complaining about Bush (and McCain).

He sure wears a lot of hats (HUD too).

A former veteran who served in Afghanistan and Iraq between 2001 and 2004, Friedman was vice chairman of the Democratic-aligned organization...

Freepers would be shocked at how many liberals there are in the US military these days. The military used to be a bastion of conservatism, but it's crawling with libs these days.

The liberal movement has grown by leaps and bounds over the past 20 years, while the conservative movement has all but disappeared as a serious political power.

Why? Because we don't fight like the liberals do. We're wimps.

It pains me to say that, but it's true.

I wonder if there’s a prog equivalent of journal-list where they coordinate their talking points? Shortly after he started floating this claim, Pelosi’s daughter was pushing a different version of the same story, demanding an investigation of the “defective platoon”.

He wears a lot of hats. He wrote an article for Time Magazine June 3rd (about the VA scandal). He works for HUD. He worked for the VA (and cited that as his credit in the Time article he authored). He was vice-chairman for VoteVets.Org and has appeared in 2008 on Oberdork's program representing them and attacking Bush and McCain.

He's a career Democrat activist, sitting away at unelected positions doing his deeds.
