Source: Bergdahl physically abused by Taliban
CNN ^ | June 6, 2014 | By Tom Cohen, Jim Acosta and Barbara Starr

Posted on 06/06/2014 3:32:58 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl was physically abused during his five years in Taliban captivity and is suffering from psychological trauma, a senior U.S. official told CNN on Friday.

The information bolstered the White House argument that President Barack Obama needed to move quickly to secure Bergdahl's release in a May 31 exchange for five Taliban figures held at Guantanamo Bay.

*rolling eyes* Sure. What next? Electrodes implanted in his brain so he could be brainwashed? Bamboo pieces shoved under his fingernails? Waterboarding?

This is such garbage. He was given an AK-47 to practice shooting, but he was abused too?

In his butt maybe.

Well, that would explain why he didn’t want to leave.

His fellow soldiers could probably have told him that the enemy he was joining, were the bad guys, before he left to join up with them.

We know

Do we need to read about it? Talk about it?

That’s what muslims do. For Americans to not know that is naïve, and it bugs me when people say they are so devout and culturally good and conservative.

No.

Now he’s speaking English? That was fast!

From the article: “The accusations of desertion continue to hang over Bergdahl as he recovers. He is conversing in English and has become more engaged in treatment, a Pentagon spokesman said.”

No problemo! Put him out of his misery, I believe traditionally this is accomplished with a dedicated team of marksman.

I have no doubt he was abused physically and psychologically by the Taliban......

He probably was their boy toy and goat humping substitute...

My concern meter is flatlining since he walked into their arms...

Do stupid things, bad things happen to you...

I hope he can recover some sort of normal life so when he is court martialed, he understands how long life in a military prison really means...

Proof positive!

Maybe they threatened him with a negative Twitter post.

I don’t think it was soccer. I thought I read it was badminton that he played with the captors.

Yeah, I don’t believe this for a minute. The Taliban video says a lot in just a minute and with no sound. We see Bergdahl holding back tears as he is sad to leave his new “Mugahadeen family”. Then one of the Taliban handlers was patting him on the shoulder probably saying, “don’t be sad we’ll stay in touch we are friends now”.
