I thought Bowe was a Sargent.
Promoted after desertion to add to the cover-up. He was a PFC when he started his search for his true self.
He was promoted AFTER he deserted.
A common practice for POW's, as he was classified as such soon after his "capture".
I hope and pray that some one with some damned sense (not that idiot Chuck Hagel) takes a close look at this whole situation and sees it for what it is.
This...uh, person, should be prosecuted under the UCMJ for desertion.
Of course, I don't know what I'm talking about...he was probably a secret double under cover spy for six different national agencies, ala Edward Snowden, as some horses asses on this forum have postulated.
His name should be on a urine cake, just like that bitch Jane Fonda.
Piss on him and piss on anyone that supports him.
He is NOT a hero.
Heroes died trying to find and rescue the POS.
I believe he attained sarge rating while in “captivity”. WTH? And “they” had a pretty good idea he deserted? I guess it’s just typical rewarding bad behavior. Even if it cost a few lives because of it, what diff do it make now.
He was promoted while missing.
he was promoted for time served without ever having to pass any tests or board.
He deserted an E-1 private and was promoted for time in rank.
