“Bergdahl went AWOL”

End of story.

The CSM lost credibility a decade ago.

Absolutely the most miss-named publication in America!

The people who are angriest are the soldiers who were the closest to the events.

Precisely. “Left” when you do not have leave/permission is going AWOL.

This is the dispersal of the WH talking points yet again. Watch for the same exact language use across the various articles.

Was this “Going After Cacciato” moment in fact a desertion, a desire to join up with the Taliban? Or was it simply an absence without leave, a lesser crime? That’s for the military justice system to work out.

isnt being AWOL in the battlefield DESERTION>???

Bergdahl own actions risked the lives of his fellow soldiers and maybe even caused their deaths and now he, through the president's actions, might have risked the lives of more American soldiers and maybe even the lives of American civilians.

We forget that the Taliban supported Osama Bin Laden and assisted him in the deaths of Americans during 9/11.

Exactly. Because they witness the results of his actions.

Those who should be angriest are the families of those soldiers who were ambushed and killed while they searched for this deserter. The men in his unit think he gave the Taliban information that helped them plan the ambushes.

This needs to be thoroughly investigated and should it prove to be true, he deserves the death penalty.

How could anyone get the idea that Obama hates America? Other than releasing five of the most dangerous mass-murderer/terrorists in the world, adding $7T to our national debt, socializing 16% of the American economy, shipping weapons to Mexican drug dealers and Islamic terrorists while disarming patriotic Americans, overthrowing stable Arab governments to put more radical extremists in power, creating gay "marriage", systematically undermining the rule of law, nominating the two worst Supreme Court Justices in history, destroying enough jobs to hold the economy in the longest recession in four generations, promoting a fresh surge of illegals, losing two wars that we were winning, and dismantling our military, what has he done that might call his competence and patriotism into question?
