Soldier interrupts Dem lawmaker trying to justify POW desertion: ‘Nobody else deserted’
Biz Pac ^ | June 19, 2014 | Tom Tillison

A former member of U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl‘s platoon interrupted a Democrat on Capital Hill Wednesday as he asked an academic expert about conditions the soldier might have endured in Afghanistan to tell him “nobody else deserted.”

Much to the consternation of U.S. Rep. Brad Sherman, D-Calif., former Army Specialist Cody Full asked for permission to speak as the lawmaker was in the process of building a case that Bergdahl may have had reason to act in “an inexplicable manner.”

This moron never served. Has no idea what he is talking about regarding to the military. He is just following Nancy Pelosi’s marching orders

He is afraid of the US military and it’s veterans...

-——We’d had a lot of deserations at Valley Forge-——

We'd had a lot of deserations at Valley Forge, Tarawa, the Bulge, just to name a few right off the top of my head.

Correct me if I am wrong eagleone. The contraction, "we'd", was used for the two word combination of, "we would". I am guessing that you were trying to say: We would have had a lot of desertions. That puts a whole different spin on your post.

These people are not democrats, they are evil, criminal, control freak, thugs. They would like to hide behind the title democrat and as long as we do not call them what they are we will lose. They hide behind the Robin Hood idea, taking from the rich and giving to the poor, that is the attraction that communism holds for the American people, it is all based on jealousy. As long as we allow this fight to defined as between republicans and democrats, we will lose. Most Americans just view it as politics as usual and totally tune out, call it what really is and some will wake up, maybe.

My thought is why not call them what they are, we will probably end up in a mass grave with a bullet in our head anyway, if history is any indicator.

I do appreciate that! I've been called a lot of things, but I sure hope that is a title that's never applied to me!

I am pretty sure that most of them were “destroyed” in the battle or got washed out to sea.

I just found it “funny” to imagine someone trying to desert on the island. I can only imagine some gunny standing at the loading gate of any craft leaving the beach in case someone want to get a ride back to the ships.

Valley Forge’s Army dwindled because many of the soldiers time of enlistment was up.
