Certainly after the deserter returns to his Idaho home, he will enjoy the accolades for a time, and then one day he will disappear only to surface in Afghanistan ot Pakistan having returned to his comrades.He obviously enjoyed his adventure.

I am so surprised that the obamas and the mooch’s ‘#saveourgirls’ didn’t negotiate the rest of gitmo for the nigerian kidnapees. What with swaps being all the rage now that is.

re:I’m sure all the guys in his unit are lying and his version is the real version.

that’s exactly what the lefties are using as talking points:
the soldiers who were there in his former unit are being all judgmental and all, telling it like it is

and all without a full “investigation”

and besides isn’t 5 years as a Taliban mascot enough punishment?

I wonder if the mothers of the troops lost in patrols hunting for this ‘POW’, walkaway, deserter whatever he is, will these mothers get the same face time with the prez for their losses as the deserters Mom did?

"PFC Matthew Michael Martinek, Staff Sgt. Kurt Robert Curtiss, SSG Clayton Bowen, PFC Morris Walker, SSG Michael Murphrey, 2LT Darryn Andrews, were all KIA from our unit who died looking for Bergdahl"

The most important part of this e-mail post. I'll bet they had mothers, fathers, wives, sweethearts, etc.. How many more Afghanis and Americans are going to die now that these five phsychos are back in action?

“In what appears to be an unprecedented move, the Pentagon also scrambled to shut down any public discussion of Bowe. Members of Bowe’s brigade were required to sign nondisclosure agreements as part of their paperwork to leave Afghanistan.”

It will interesting to see who the Regime goes after first, Bowe for abandoning his post, or the “leakers” for disclosing whata they know.

Limbaugh, Hannity, Levin, Savage, etc., had better pick up on this opportunity. Exchanging a deserter for five terrorists is as scandalous as Benghazi, as several American soldiers lost their lives trying to rescue Bergdahl. Michelle Malkin has already posted about this matter.

” Will anything happen to this POS?”

I predict public office as a Democrat. Think Jean Francois Kerry, American traitor.

and there is another element to be explored and that is how much money did Obama/Rice give for the deal. The terrorist organization they dealt with only acts when their palms are greased. Money is always the deal clincher.

My thoughts mirror yours, I’ll add in that I have yet to find evidence that this little traitor even wanted to be ‘freed’.

Wondering how many of our bravest are waiting for treatment today at any V.A.??

No way was he only an E-1. You make E-2 automatically upon completion of basic/AIT, before assignment to a unit. If he had some time in the unit before it went overseas, that would have been how he got to PFC (E-3) before going out to find himself, i.e. deserting. The other advancements in rank came from the operation of time, as you say. With the classification as POW, that was SOP and has been since at least WW2.

Donald Trump was talking about this today on “Fox & Friends.” Jake Tapper was discussing the claims that Bergdahl is a deserter on CNN...so it isn’t being confined to FNC (like most stories that put Obama in a bad light). We’ll have to see how the networks treat the story this evening...can they gush about the “hero” and ignore the allegations?
