terrible set-up of the sound system. hard to listen to.
Reading a statement from Mom and Dad. Asking for privacy and will not reveal travel plans.
Pretty much a dud
Any civilian who expects to learn anything important from a scripted military briefing .......
Bob’s busy peeping....
Sickening. One long question that was fairly harmless, was greeted by a conference among the 3 men dressed in camo, and then a “Could you rephrase your question?”
This was right out of the playbook for how NOT to cooperate and tell the story.
Yep...
I’m calling BS on this claim...If he didn’t see a human face for two years while totally locked up in a 6x6 cell...
Who cleaned out the poop???
I call BS on this because even if that had been true, you’d have ALL sorts of lingering *health issues to this day, no matter how well you are fed and possibly bathed before he was ever traded for their terrorist buddies...
* staph infections, bed sores, muscle atrophy, weight loss, etc etc etc, none of which was visible in the few scenes at his release...The medical people are saying he’s in good shape physically...It takes a long time (longer in captivity) to recover from those afflictions, if his account (via “news” sources) is true...And there would be physical evidence left over if he overcame some of those likely health issues...
The folks doing the medical evaluations are either lying, or being ordered to do so, or, Bergdahl is telling the truth...The latter being something I base (doubt) upon what I see...
Bottom line is we are going to be given more BS to cover up the absolute Neanderthal (idiocy) of this administrations foreign policy, and that the legacy of those failures will be illustrated for many decades to come...
And for the subtle mis-labeling of his captors being “human”???
Adds to the idiocy of the media and its lack of journalistic integrity..Not that that is important now...
Those propagandists are feeding preconceived liberal narratives instead of actually reporting “news” anymore...
Fox News is falling back into their control by overwhelming stories that they generate, but never really expand upon, hoping that that network wastes time and effort chasing down the BS and preaching to the choir of conservative viewership that yells and screams to no one that would disagree with them...
And the people, you know, those ill-informed, low information voters are clueless to the truth of anything coming across the TV these days anyway...
They cannot handle the truth...
Or Bergdahl has been turned and his story has been crafted to eliminate suspicion or Bergdahl was brainwashed into believing that is what really happened.
If that is truly the case, then what IS the purpose in shielding these concerns from the American people???
So far, the picture I have of this kid is, that he was kicked out of the Coast Guard (for mental issues), was able to enlist in the Army, why???
Every single person so far who has come out publically that served directly with him has said he was not a reliable person to serve with...Both up and down his chain of command...
He leaves ALL sorts of signals, subtle and downright blatant signals he was intending to take off...
Why he did so in indian territory is beyond me, or, maybe that was the plan...
When the deal is struck, it is already seen as a political dog and pony show from the get go...You think someone had consulted a “stylist” to get Bergdahl’s dad to do a lap or two with a razor to remove the tell tale signs of islamiscism from his outward appearance, or maybe that IS what someone wants us to believe...
There will come a time, hopefully soon, but I am not holding my breath on this...That we will get more information who really is eating the beans and farting around the campfire on all of this, and for what purpose...
Bergdahl really is not so much the story anymore in my opinion...Sure, we need to be told more, but figure those odds...
What I do not want to have happen is to lose sight of the other 5 camel humpers, I’m extremely focused on keeping an eye on them...That is paramount...
The second one of those schmups goes off the reservation, I would hope someone pushes a button to make the rest of them disappear...Vaporize, would be extremely satisfying in my opinion...
But hey, I’m not running this circus right now...
It doesn't fit Obama's narrative?
He just might end up in one. Hope he won’t be reintegrated with his crazy father who stalked the twins and left creepy notes.
CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C., Jan. 5— A defense psychiatrist testified today that Pvt. Robert R. Garwood of the Marine Corps was driven insane by watching the execution of South Vietnamese prisoners, some forced to play Russian roulette, and that that caused him to collaborate with the enemy.
''In my assessment, the result of that was to destroy his free will and independent judgment,'' Dr. Robert Rollins, of Raleigh, N.C., said. ''And from that point on, he was unable to execute any free will, and he did everything they asked him to do.''
Dr. Rollins said the executions came at the end of a series of events that began after Private Garwood was captured while driving a jeep outside Da Nang in 1965, marched through the jungle for several weeks and harassed by Vietnamese civilians before arriving at a jungle camp where South Vietnamese prisoners were held.
Two South Vietnamese soldiers ''were required to play Russian roulette with the idea that the survivor would live,'' Dr. Rollins said. He said other South Vietnamese were ''shot to death with many rounds of automatic weapons fire.''
He said Private Garwood was told by his captors, ''We have complete control over you, and you may be executed at any time.'' Private Garwood's mental condition, Dr. Rollins said, is known to psychiatrists as an ''atypical dissociative reaction'' in which a captive is driven to the point of identifying with his captors.
The private did not see another American for nearly a year after his capture, Dr. Rollins said. 'He Was Powerless Physically'
And I recall another story of a US citizen held for many tears in the middle east who was driven insane by his captors....was chained inside a metal box for several years.
tears = years
You are learning, grasshopper!!!
