Former Officer: Soldiers Were ´Threatened´ If They Questioned Bergdahl Story
Breitbart ^ | 6/2/14 | Charlie Spiering

A former U.S. officer who served in Afghanistan with Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl claims that soldiers were threatened by U.S. authorities if they questioned his story. After he was captured, Bergdahl said on a video from his captors that he lagged behind on patrol, although other sources in the military suggested anonymously that he walked away from his post. “Not only has this nebulous non-story been put out for years but you know these soldiers of 4th Brigade 25th Infantry Division were threatened with legal repercussions if they spoke about Bergdahl. Everybody officially mandated silencing of what we saw has been so frustrating,”

The Obama regime. The most corrupt government the world has ever seen. But hey! That’s what you can do when you own the world’s biggest RACE CARD!

Someone is about to have the dogs of war unleashed upon him by the IRS, OSHA, EPA, and every other alphabet agency in the federal government.

I hope he has his affairs in order.

Colonel David Hunt,a regular guest of the Howie Carr Show in Boston,is on with Howie right now.A caller told Howie and the Colonel that he was part of the search team that looked for this guy and that the Army forced them to sign an agreement stating they wouldn't say a word about it publicly.

Lousy reporting-——the officer is just referred to by his last name (I assume that’s what it is).

No rank—no full name.

Just like they are silencing the Benghazi survivors. This bunch will be harder to silence since they aren’t all Top Secret cleared guys with careers at stake.

No rank—no full name.

Here's the article he wrote: We Lost Soldiers in the Hunt for Bergdahl, a Guy Who Walked Off in the Dead of Night

The author is Nathan Bradley Bethea. He doesn't state his rank, though.

The next morning, Bergdahl failed to show for the morning roll call. The soldiers in 2nd Platoon, Blackfoot Company discovered his rifle, helmet, body armor and web gear in a neat stack. He had, however, taken his compass. His fellow soldiers later mentioned his stated desire to walk from Afghanistan to India.

Just as the Benghazi survivors have been ordered/threatened.

TRUTH SUPPRESSION = Obama/Hillary/Holder’s Modus Operandi

Oh! I forgot to mention, “What difference does it make?” [So what if a few good soldiers (6?) lost their lives searching for this deserter?]

I wonder if this guy’s home town will still have a welcoming home party after knowledge of his traitorous conduct sinks in?
