Letter to the Editor: Return for Bergdahl will be hard (Grab a hankie/s)
Letter to the Editor The Yuma Sun ^ | June 8, 2014 | Red Chandler

Sgt. Bergdahl will return home after five years as a prisoner of the Taliban. There won’t be any parades or welcome backs. I suspect, after a few years, the liberal vanguard will promote him to the lecture circuit to liberal colleges throughout the United States. Any money that he makes off books or in the lecture circuit he will earn. Like Jane Fonda, his life will not be pleasant. Any time he is in public he has to keep a low profile and never travel outside his home without a bodyguard.

Part of the blame for Sgt. Bergdahl’s cost of repatriation falls on the shoulders of his officers, who should have spotted the psychological defect and had him shipped back to the states or placed in a noncombat unit. In every war there are fighting men and women who can invent reasons they shouldn’t be there. If the military doesn’t indoctrinate those men and women for the reasons they are in the field of battle, it’s a failure of leadership of that military branch.

For the sake of morale and costs in lives, these weak ones must be weeded out before they get into the war zone.

Make no mistake, Sgt. Bergdahl was not turned into a radical Muslim. There isn’t a doubt in my mind but once he got captured he realized he made a terrible mistake. It will take years, if ever, before he regains normalcy.

I would not be a bit surprised if Bergdahl suffers a sudden, unexpected, “Suicide,” and the libs use him as a half-assed martyr.

What kind of idiot wrote this stuff?

Jane Fonda has suffered? Hmmm, while living on her multi million dollar ranch in MT? Or starring in the movies she’s done? Kept a low profile? Poor Jane.

Sheesh. Good find 2ndDivisionVet.

...who should have spotted the psychological defect and had him shipped back to the states...

I've spotted some psychological defects in the CIC, can we ship him back to Kenya?

Maybe defecting to the Tol-ee-bohn was a bad idea?

Let’s see- Jane Fonda is an unrepentant traitor, who amassed millions, and married a billionaire. Her life has not suffered from her wrongdoing.
