Still want to know why Private Bergdahl was promoted twice in captivity. Is that ordinary?
This p*sses me the h*ll off. ALL assets came to a screeching freeping HALT and redirected to find that POS.
Innocent until proven guilty or some stuff like that?
Yeah, I know, seems stupid that even cowards, deserters and traitors have rights.
If he were one of my troops I’d just lose him for good.
For a captured soldier, yes. For a defector, no.
POWs receive pay and promotions during their captivity.
That is incredible !!!!!!!
.
SOB. The entire freeping U.S. military in the area went looking for the POS.
Makes sense. Thnx.
When I read the reports that military officials were not willing to risk the lives of SpecOps to rescue this POS, I feel a sense of relief. Thank God we didn’t lose any more precious SpecOp lives.
Cold-hearted? KMA.
What about that initial AP or Reuters report in 2009 saying he walked away from his post and was seen leaving with three other persons. Where did that initial report originate? Anyone...
Automatic “time in service” promotions untill any MIA issues are legally resolved.
Speaking strictly as an USAF veteran, a Cold War era experienced enlisted woman, that was IAW the UCMJ rules at the time I served.
Just to give you a vague frame of reference:
When I was stationed in Germany in 198X something, I could have travelled to Berlin, while the wall was still standing. I was not “forbidden” from doing so, but the consequences to me were extremely negative, had I done so.
Based solely upon my job position/security clearance, travel in, over or through any potential enemy nation territory, absent lawfull DOD orders, put me at extreme risk of capture.
I still could have drove a few hundred miles and snapped a few pictures, but if I did so, and was captured by an enemy government, my own government would not make any attempt to even acknowledge my loss, or secure my release.
Bergdahl wasn't taking an unauthorized, off duty trip to view the sights in a peacetime environment.
He deserted his unit while engaged in active combat.
When this Bergdahl character WENT AWOL and SHOULD have been declared a DESERTER from the gitgo, he left behind emails and notes saying he was “disgusted” with the United States and talked about RENOUNCING HIS CITIZENSHIP. (During my 4 years in the USAF in the Vietnam era, I wasn’t all that thrilled about how the government was mishandling a war that was getting so many of our folks unnecessarily KIA but never once thought about doing what THIS clown did!)
Despite obozo’s desire to keep all this hush-hush, MORE will come out as his former comrades defy orders to shut up and do speak out.
Now, here are the $64,000.00 questions that may have already been asked:
After 5 years with the Taliban, just how many IEDs and other “devices” did they teach him how to construct?
And, once he’s set out and about in the US population, how many other similarly disaffected malcontents, black muslims, radical Bill Ayers/Bernadine Dohrn wannabes will he teach everything the Taliban taught him?
Think Boston Marathon bombers X 10 to the 10th power on steroids!!
And we can all thank the TRAITOR in the Spite House, his lackeys in the bureaucracy, congress,the Pentagon and the lapdog media!
Doesn’t bother you, you say? It may if one of YOUR loved ones happens to be in a shopping mall when one of those devices goes off
There were reports from Afghanis that he had come through this/that village asking for water and how to find the Taliban. MF. I am short on sympathy for the POS.
I may have to retract everything later, but right now, my @ss is chapped.
I’m not known for my tolerance. So what?
Before I begin my rant, thank you for your service. I apologize here and now for the pathetic pieces of sh*t that jeered at you and your brethren upon returning home. I was four. I had no part in it.
The reason you didn't think of doing the same is because you have honor, decency, and integrity. That might seem like a simple answer, but it's the truth. Duty, honor, and integrity are in short supply with this generation. Why is that? What changed?
No. That's a serious question. Why is generation X or generation Y or generation me so freeping morally defunct?
Told from birth they are “special” and encouraged in their
navel-watching narcissism— their tiny world. The media rams home anti-American crap to them straight from the leftist agendas. That’s how. Little prongs like Bradley Manning.
In the Rolling Stone interview about Bergdahl, his parents were actually proud their son was born... “on the same day as Lady Gaga” Mind numbingly self absorbed stupid azzes.
