HOUSTON - Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who was a prisoner of war in Afghanistan for five years, has been allowed to venture off the Texas military base where he is receiving care as part of his "reintegration process" into society, a U.S. Army spokeswoman said Wednesday.

Bergdahl has been allowed to go, with supervision, to a grocery store, restaurants, shopping centers and a library as part of the process of getting him comfortable with being out in public, Army spokeswoman Arwen Consaul said.

He has not commented publicly on the circumstances of his disappearance, and the Army has made no charges against him. The Army has said it is investigating Bergdahl's disappearance and capture, but that investigators will not interview him until those helping him recover say it is all right to do so.

Bergdahl's "reintegration process" has slowly increased his exposure to social settings and groups of people, giving him "a little bit more every day," Consaul said.

Getting his mind right. I wonder when charges will be filed.

[keat]

Getting his mind right. I wonder when if charges will be filed.

[februus]

He’ll run off and go back to working with our enemies, given the opportunity.

[TurboZamboni]

I wonder when Target or General Mills will sponsor his coming out parade.

[shalom aleichem]

I hope he strolls through my neighborhood.

Oh please, venture out into my neighborhood ... just 5 minutes, that's all I want ... just 5 feckin' minutes.

“Getting his mind right. I wonder when charges will be filed. “

The Army has been dropping hints there will be no charges.. last week they said they could find no wrongdoing as of yet. Obama will not allow charges to be filed.. bet on it.

[Safetgiver]

I wonder when charges will be filed. ......Never.

[Uncle Chip]

Aren’t they afraid that he might leave and never come back??

[DanielRedfoot]

I know I keep posting this but…

I will bet he will be at, and recognized at the end of the Month State of the Union Show. “Stand up Mr. American Hero”

Obama will steam roll the critics to firm up letting the terrorist go, call the guy a Hero and later call any criticism political nonsense.

And the Media will willingly go along with, including Fox News

[Gene Eric]

I figure he’ll eventually be the Democrat’s POTUS candidate.

[Farmer Dean]

Aren’t they afraid that the “wrong” person will recognize him and smoke him on the spot?

[kp2hot]

isn’t he a special? No other prisoners released from jail or captivity need integration process, but this one is so special. I wonder he needs diaper training again.

[defconw]

Maybe that's what they want. Then they can declare martial law and round us all up. Wait..... is that a black helicopter I see? :) Of course I see them all the time. There is a base nearby.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

At the very least, he will be next to FLOTUS in the gallery at the next SOTU Address.

[shelterguy]

Pretty good for a guy that was near death a few weeks ago,

Who cares?

[haroldeveryman]

This could be interesting. We soon may all be getting reintegrated in order to get our minds right.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

I wonder if Edward Snowden has anything on Bergdahl.

[Farmer Dean]

So they are going to round us all up?They will have a few surprises when they do.
