Psychologist: Does Bergdahl ‘Want To Be One Of Us Or Them?’
CBS Washington ^ | June 4, 2014 | Regina F. Graham

After being held captive by the Taliban for the past five years, Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl is facing a long road to recovery following his release.

The specifics about what Bergdahl has endured have not been released and may not be. Psychologists explain that it’s important to know the specifics of Bergdahl’s last five years in order to determine how to proceed with the appropriate treatment options.

“What we don’t know about is whether he is a true hero who had the misfortune of being the only POW captured, or whether he in some way identified with his captors,” psychologist Dr. Michael Broder told CBSDC.

He’s already one of them.

That is all.

They can’t wait to get their hooks into him and fuck him up even worse with drugs. The real reason is to screw him up so he can avoid the close questioning that everyone except the RATs would like to see. Those psychologist fiends can keep him incommunicado indefinitely.

This presume he changed while in captivity. He didn’t changed, he was with them before his capture

How can he be a prisoner of war, if war has not been declared?

Two terms keep going through my mind as I think of this guy:

"Stockholm Syndrome"

and

"Buyers Remorse"

Forget the first one. This guy got into something that he realized way too late was not what he bargained for.

He wants to be one of the bearded savage crowd. That’s why the chief went to bat for him.

May very well be a long road to recovery...but a short walk to the firing squad where he belongs

Deserter, and a traitor.

Dr. Broder acts like he knows a lot and presents some crappy analysis without contact with the “patient”. Isn’t that unethical? Shouldn’t he be reported to his licensing board? However, the psycho shows his ignorance by stating that the deserter bum was a POW (the government did not have him listed as such) and that he was “captured” (the creep deserted and sought-out the taliban). I believe this is the start of retrograde LIBs trying to desperately show that some sort of mental problem is responsible and that this goon should treated rather than strung-up on the nearest oak. Shame on you “doctor”.
