Over the course of its yearlong deployment, the platoon would lose none of its two dozen soldiers.

Doesn't sound to shabby to me. How many platoons go through a year without loss of life and have only a few rebukes because of T-Shirts?

Gerald Sutton was a supply guy and was offering this info to the NYTimes as one who knew Bergdahl. As a supply specialist, it isn't likely he was on any of the missions, although it's a possibility.

Having a platoon leader relieved (not a commander) would be losing a lieutenant, and then losing an SFC platoon sergeant, the platoon would be visible and gain special attention.

What isn't clear in this NYT article is that Sutton has said that he thinks Bergdahl deserted and that it was premeditated.

Typical “demodummie”/doumbo move, blame the other guy, ruin his/her reputation, lie about everything the other guy has ever done or will do, black ball him/her and do what ever is necessary to make YOUR side appear the “good guy”.

I am sooooooooooo sick of hearing this crap. I truly hope that some day someone will do something to stop it forever.

I saw the men that Bergdahl served with on TV for 40 minutes and they all came off as honest, intelligent and straight shooters. Well spoken too!
