14 men died and many were wounded looking for him.
RE: In basic combat training I talked with a neo-Nazi who had joined to learn small unit weapons & tactics for his fascist group. The Army had sniffed him out and had him painting murals in the orderly room (he wasnt half-bad in a primitive way) before giving him his bad conduct discharge.
So, to make a long story short, Bergdahl was an Islamist sympathizer joining the US army to learn about its tactics and strategies in order to later help the Jihadis with the information he gathered?
If so, Why wasn’t he sniffed out in the beginning?
You have to be looking for something to find it, in most cases. Have you seen who the president is these days? He can recite the call to prayer better than most imams.
"And it turned out he didn't, right?" he continued. "I mean, sure, we had to send back the Taliban prisoners, a boxcar full of weapons, a few bars of gold, and a DVD collection of 0bama speeches and Lady Gaga dance numbers, but it was worth it."
The rose garden grab ass photo op was a big mistake. Brother Rat owns this one!
They can't be bothered with petty matters like the Constitution and national security. They have bigger fish to fry in this mid-term election year -- defeating the Tea Party.
Right... so he could go and live in the mountains!
Do you happen to have that photo?
I though when they first starting about that guy on T V they were calling him Birddog. LOL
If I do I will be sure to bring a flashlight ... or two.
In a war zone, even! Guess we are wasting a lot of money on combat pay, if they have so much freedom to come and go in these foreign countries. HA
No need to. There’s plenty of light over here.
“...the father’s Arabic salute to Allah in the Rose Garden while Obama beamed even before the translation was made...”
BHO2 doesn’t need a translator. He speaks and understands a number of languages: Indonesian, English, Arabic, and Pashto (the language used in parts of Afghanistan and Pakistan).
Was the military so desperate for soldiers that it kept baby-sitting this weirdo after his first attempt at deserting? Really .who is leading our military now? It certainly isn’t the caliber of the brass that won WW II. It doesn’t inspire much confidence in this most expensive military in the history of the planet.
He was homeschooled by mama...but didn't get his GED until he was 20.
There was plenty known about Afghanistan, the people and the troops by the time he joined.
I'd go back to when he tried to sign up for the Foreign Legion (Who does that?)
Then see if there are any comments when he did sign up. You just have to track him. He's another Richard ??? (forgot).
Remember Major Hassan?

What was that all about?
Military intelligence is an oxymoron....
But I digress. Leaving the first time is certainly at least an Article 15 offense and deserves at least a demotion and a black mark on one’s record. Not an example of “dedicated” service.
Considering various tweets and e-mails, that in itself would be enough to get most anybody confined to post and relieved of duty.
Military intelligence detected Major Hassan once he started shooting, and then immediately called in the local police to handle the situation.
