A US soldier who has been released after nearly five years in captivity by the Taliban in Afghanistan needs time to ''decompress'', his parents have told a news conference.
Jani and Bob Bergdahl also said they had not yet spoken to their son, Sgt Bowe Bergdahl, 28, who was handed to US forces on Saturday in exchange for five Guantanamo Bay detainees.
Jani Bergdahl began by reading a letter to her son.

This father is a Taliban-loving blowhard. I also don’t think he’s real bright.
To: kingattax
He’s already “decompressed.”
He’s pissed on the United States for more than five years; that should be sufficient “decompression” for anyone.
To: miss marmelstein
youre right and i bet that he is butt-up-in-the-air five times a day jabbering to allah-in-wonderland.

I wonder how many families began to learn German or Japanese when their sons were POWs during WWII? How many Americans became Nazis, or bowed to the Japanese emperor?

"everything about this whole thing really stinks and the whole truth needs to come out. " We need to stay on this. 6 brave soldiers are dead thanks to the deserter.
Since the elections are coming up we need to write our reps and demand justice.

'Our son needs time to decompress'Your son needs to be lined up against a wall and executed by firing squad. He deserted his unit in a time of war.
Article 85 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice:
(c) Any person found guilty of desertion or attempt to desert shall be punished, if the offense is committed in time of war, by death or such other punishment as a court-martial may direct, but if the desertion or attempt to desert occurs at any other time, by such punishment, other than death, as a court-martial may direct.

You’re spot on. The way I expressed it to my wife was “this situation is more squirrely than a bag full of a$$holes.” Those forum posters advocating Ft. Leavenworth and a firing squad are also right on the mark but it’s unrealistic to expect the current Occupant to allow such against his co-religionist.

"needs time to decompress." What they mean is he needs time to get his story straight, and I'm sure Obama's media propaganda section is giving him plenty of help with that.

Undoubtedly.
I also think this incredibly stupid narcissist has managed to turn half of America against his son. Way to go, hippie Talibani!
To: kingattax
Sounds like he needs a date.
