Bowe letter telling comrades he was 'leaving to start new life & didn't want to fight for America'

Bowe Bergdahl left a note saying he had gone to start a 'new life' and a former comrade broke his military gagging order today to tell MailOnline of the jaw-dropping moment he discovered the Taliban POW had walked off from their Afghanistan base.

That revelation came just hours before two top government officials confirmed that there will be a new, full investigation into Bergdahl's disappearance.

The soldier, who requested anonymity as he is still in the military, said: ‘Everyone looked at me like I was crazy but I was right, he had walked off.’

The New York Times reported Bergdahl also left behind a note in which he said he did not want to fight for America any more, did not believe in the war - and was leaving to start a new life.

The letter to his comrades was separate from the email he sent to his parents before he sent his goods home to them, wherein he wrote: 'life is way too short to care for the damnation of others, as well as to spend it helping fools with their ideas that are wrong.... I am ashamed to even be (A)merican.'(continued)

[Steely Tom]

The contents of that letter were private, and have been taken out of context and twisted by enemies of Sgt. Bergdahl and the United States!

And don’t you dare question his patriotism!

State Dept: Bergdahl Knows Circumstances of His Capture Better Than Squad Mates

Quick ... someone alert John Kerry that Bergdahl has already personally revealed his 'circumstances'

[PghBaldy]

MSNBC says he is being “Swiftboated.” Which translates to: people are telling the truth bout his character, and liberals don’t like it.

Megan Kelly last night said she will have 8 soldiers on her show on Thursday night. Note to FOX NEWS — please, please do NOT do your usual “Up against a hard break — gotta go” nonsense in the middle of one of their sentences as per usual. What they have to say is important.

Thanks again to the Daily Mail, doing the American suck-up media’s job for them.

[I want the USA back]

This is why he got special treatment from this administration. Both hate America.

Great find, thanks, but why do we always have to go to the foreign press when it comes to the commie in the oval office and it’s shenanigans?

[2ndDivisionVet]

Because they’re (self-admitted) hack reporters out for a big story versus our leftist mouthpieces of the Democratic Party? Sure, most of them are lefties, too, but they’re journalists first, not press agents.

[The_Republic_Of_Maine]

I believe you are right, keep up the good work, for none of us can be all places at all times and we must rely upon many to find the truth about our Govt.

Britain has the last free press in the world.

Pray America wakes up

Britain has the last free press in the world.

About our country, maybe. As long as they keep printing all the Kartrashian p.r., they can tack on a few of our politial scandals, but dodge and weave about their own.

FOX News is all commercials now - the hard break comes to allow viewers to see 4 minutes of "news" (usually cooking stories), then back to the commercials.

America One News is looking better and better as Fox news collapses.

[Albion Wilde]

LOL

[oh8eleven]

America One News is looking better and better as Fox news collapses.
Had to look them up ... actually they're One America News and I don't think I get it via Time Warner.
But not to worry, TW will add them and another half dozen channels no one ever heard of - then raise my rates saying, "By popular demand ..."

[garjog]

Today in WSJ they say the admin HAD to exchange Bergdahl because a VIDEO showed his health was deteriorating. Hmmm.

Same excuse as last time.

well Swiftboating is point out a traitor is a traitor
