A member of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl’s platoon in Afghanistan said Sunday the former Taliban prisoner deserted his post before being captured and fired back against Obama administration arguments that only Bergdahl knows exactly what happened.
“After Bowe Bergdahl purposely and willfully walked away, every single mission was titled toward finding him,” platoon medic Joshua Cornelison told “Fox News Sunday.” “We were there. This isn’t some second- or third-hand account.”

What Bergdahl and his family are up to is strange, but not nearly as strange as Obama’s role in this.
It is obvious Bergdahl willingly left his platoon and sought out the Taliban. The military knew it from the bottom to the top.
Why would Obama release 5 Taliban commanders for him, and have the Rose Garden ceremony with his parents—including his weird beard Pashtun-speaking dad with this in mind?
Did he really think the media could and would suppress the truth about Bergdahl’s desertion, and we wouldn’t notice Bergdahl’s father looks like he joined the Taliban? And sending out Susan “YouTube video” Rice out to praise his service?
I know Obama wants to close Guantanamo, but there are about 150 prisoners left. If he lets 5 go at a time under circumstances like this, he’ll be lucky if Mother Jones and The Nation still support him.
It makes absolutely no sense to me. What does Obama stand to gain from all this?
Good catch.
Correct headlines helps to prevent multiple posts of the same article and subsequently split conversations.
Amen...Thanks for the ping.
By my count, that was your 20 cents. ;)
Wait! Up to 30 cents now!
Typical how the Left attacks the troops that voiced their unfavorable opinion of the Bergdahl situation.
Hope all is well, jaz!
I still give Obama and his bubble even odds of being able to gaslight themselves out of this.
Wasn't sure which to use, so I used the home page title.
Yes, it is typical and sickening.
Things are good, Gene, hope it’s the same for you!
The NYT will be calling Cornelison a pyschopathic drug pusher who endangered Bergdahl’s health by this time tomorrow.
What does Obama stand to gain from all this?....The world wide Caliphate?
Or maybe he’s a little annoyed at the “follow your conscience” command of Daddy Jihad which began this whole disaster. Maybe he’s more like Raymond in “The Manchurian Candidate” who was brainwashed by his mommy.
Yes!
And he is a narcissistic psychopath and requires much attention, however he can get it.
It probably didn't make any sense when Obama's advisers advised him to do it, but he's too stupid/ narcissistic /detached to have realized it. If you wag-the-dog, you need to be careful that the dog doesn't turn around and bite.
Jesse Jackson, Bill Ayers, Jane Fonda, Maya Angelou. All wealthy and famous. All scoundrels.
If the liberal movement wanted to make Bergdahl into a war hero and for him to get a Medal of Honor, then it'll happen. And there isn't a damn thing we can do about it.
