I’m sure Charles Manson is a complicated man. Bergdahl just sounds gay. That would explain why Obama wanted to save him.

And discharged from the Coast Guard in ‘06, shortly after joining. Question is why did the Army ten take him?

I saw the Medic from Bergdahl’s platoon on TV 20 minutes ago. He said Bergdahl appeared fine.
You know, it’s almost like the employees of the Washington Post are paid by the Democrat Party.

“Several days before Bergdahl disappeared from his patrol base in Afghanistan in 2009, he sent a box to Harrison containing his blue spiral-bound journal, his laptop computer, a copy of the novel “Atlas Shrugged,” and other items, McCrummen reported. The journal in that box played a key role in her story.”

First, Bergdahl did not disappear from his base. Bergdahl deserted his unit and actively sought to join the Taliban.

Second, why did he mail his journal, laptop and “other items” days before he deserted? Something is wrong with this story.

One comment, from the article.

“Why would he send his “journal & remains” to a close friend and NOT his parents? Why won’t he Speak to his parents? It’s Unacceptable that he was discharged from the Coast Guard for psych reasons & allowed to join the Army. The guys an AWOL fencing Ballerina from Idaho. Not surprising that he was quickly disillusioned by War. Duh! How is it these guys don’t get Danger and Life & Death?! Idiots- All of them.. Bergdahl and the Obummer Admin!! And to think we traded 5 murderous terrorists and put every American at higher risk of kidnapping— for him. (I want our terrorists back.)”

I agree!

“A tender artist...” IOW, a coward who deserted and discovered there is no tenderness in Afghanistan.

If you are “a tender artist”, why join the United States Army? Seriously.

One easy thing would fix that worry about his place in the world.

Walk up to the edge of the Grand Canyon and for the first time in your life realize your total insignificance.

Oh, okay then, shoot him in the head instead of his poor little sensitive heart.
