Your scenario in your post #14 is a plausible one. I just don’t think Bowe will end up in the clink. His defense could be that he played along to get along if he indeed was a captive. Harder to explain is why he let himself fall into Taliban hands, which by all accounts I’ve read is what he did. But that notwithstanding, I don’t think he will be prosecuted if 0bomba and Holder have anything to say about it, and they do.

Transcript from the court-martial of Private Bowe Bergdahl

Call Robert Bergdahl

Prosecutor: Mr Bergdahl when did you first feel concern for the Afghan people ?

Robert Bergdahl: When the American military invaded Afghanistan.

Prosecutor: Mr Bergdahl are you a Moslem ?

Defense: Objection, the religion of the witness has no bearing on his testimony.

Judge: Overruled, I’ll allow this line of questioning. Answer the question Mr Bergdahl. (:):):))

Prosecutor: Mr Bergdahl are you a Moslem ?

Robert Bergdahl: No

Prosecutor: Mr Bergdahl when did you first pray in Arabic?

Robert Bergdahl: When the American military invaded Afghanistan

Prosecutor: Mr Bergdahl do you sympathize with the Afghan people ?

Robert Bergdahl: Yes

Prosecutor: Mr Bergdahl do you sympathize with the Islamic religion ?

Robert Bergdahl: Yes

Prosecutor: Mr Bergdahl do you read the Koran ?

Robert Bergdahl: Yes

Prosecutor: Mr Bergdahl do you believe the Koran where it states that non-moslems should be killed ?

Robert Bergdahl: The Koran does not say any such thing. Islam is a religion of peace, of love.

Prosecutor: Mr Bergdahl did you son ever read the Koran before he went to Afghanistan ?

Robert Bergdahl: I don’t know

Prosecutor: Mr Bergdahl did you ever encourage your son Bowe to follow the Islamic religion ?

Robert Bergdahl: My son is a good boy. I have always been proud of him.

Prosecutor: Mr Bergdahl please answer the question. Did you ever encourage your son Bowe to follow the Islamic religion. ?

Robert Bergdahl: What if I did ? Islam is the only religion of peace. The Afghan people are peaceful. They just want to live in peace.

Prosecutor: Mr Bergdahl you prayed a prayer to the Islamic god Allah during a press conference at the White House. Do you believe in Allah ?

(Just when did this damnable excuse for a father actually start with the ugly Moslem beard and spouting the prayer that confirms a belief in Islam and allah ? Before or after sonny boy went to Afghanistan ?

Inquiring minds want to know)

If this is literally true (word for word), then there is a chain of culpability leading from his immediate NCO to the top.

Agreed. I'd like to hear from his squad leader, platoon sergeant, and platoon leader.

I was a platoon leader for a couple of years (Towed Vulcan and Chaparral). One of my most important jobs was knowing my soldiers. One of the best jobs I ever had.
