He’s the guy that rather mysteriously “wandered off”, correct?

The case of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, held by the Taliban since 2009, has arisen again as the U.S. and other countries engage in diplomatic efforts to free him.

But if he is released, will America’s only prisoner of the Afghan war be viewed as a hero or a deserter?

While tattered yellow ribbons still adorn utility poles in his native Hailey, Idaho, others are expressing conflicting thoughts about Bergdahl’s plight as the war winds down, with President Barack Obama threatening to withdraw all U.S. troops by year’s end unless the Afghan government signs a crucial security agreement.

They are convinced that on June 30, 2009, just a few months after he arrived in Afghanistan, Bergdahl willingly walked away from his unit, which was deployed in Paktika province in eastern Afghanistan, adjacent to the border with Pakistan. While they do want Bergdahl home, they think he should have to answer allegations that he deserted his unit.

Notwithstanding his possible mental problems ... he should be classified and held accountable as a deserter. Meanwhile the military promoted him during his "absence." Significant to this sordid situation, it has been reported that good soldiers died while attempting to rescue him.

No doubt Obama and Co. will now welcome this traitor home as a hero while true American heroes are putting their lives on the line every day in that wretched country.
