Reports Surface That White House Knew All Along About Bergdahl’s Desertion
Daily Caller ^ | 4/17/2015 | JONAH BENNETT

Posted on 05/09/2015 6:45:10 AM PDT by MeshugeMikey

Contrary to some media speculation, top military leadership knew as early as late 2009 that Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl had deserted.

During an open-book question and answer session in Afghanistan, members of Bergdahl’s platoon directly asked then-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Admiral Mike Mullen whether he was aware of Bergdahl’s desertion.

Mullen “told me that he knew of the circumstances surrounding his walking off,” former Sgt. Matt Vierkant, one of the platoon members, told Fox News, and “that they were developing leads and following leads, trying to do everything they could to get him back.”

Evan Buetow and Cody Full, also platoon members, confirmed the account.

I believe Obama and progressives backed Bowe Bergdahl BECAUSE he was a deserter.

NOT in spite of his being a deserter.

They knew all along.

Well knock me over with a feather. I am shocked. SHOCKED, I say.

I thought they were clueless, in the dark, totally unknowing what was going on with that good boy.

But, I knew Obama would not rest....

Of course the Outhouse/Bathhouse knew.

Any one who deserts the military is 0b0z0’s hero.

Bergdahl walked off and left his fellow American Soldiers open to slaughter.

Most Americans think that what Bergdahl did isn’t really any different than the guy walking off the job as janitor. You just get a new one and the floor is dusty for a day.

They have no idea of the notion of a 360 degree defense with interlocking fields of fire and how important it is to have Bergdahl’s eyes where they are supposed to be to look for the enemy.

They are more concerned with their coffee.

Remember the Lieutenant Colonel Marine killed at that airbase where the enemy blew up all those aircraft in Afghanistan?

I can guarantee you that one guy, one guy, didn’t do his job and the enemy got through the perimeter. Just like he walked off the job. And look what happened.

Yeah, one guy missing can cause lots of death and destruction.

I live next door to a 97 year old lidtard who swears up and down bergdahl is a hero and says I’m a nazi for believing otherwise. He stays glued to CNN and an oxygen tank all day long.

That’s what I was thinking. This administration has had, and weathered, so many scandals, any one of which would have brought down a Republican president, that people just don’t pay attention anymore. You know, that may have been the plan. because now they don’t even have to pretend to be “the most transparent administration evah”. They can just break the law and defy the constitution openly, with impunity. Kind of like all the rioting thugs.

“Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl had deserted”

He didn’t desert, he defected. Much worse. And many of his fellow soldiers died while searching for him and trying to rescue him.

And the Obama administration and liberals used his return as a photo op.

And the Obama administration traded the defector and we released some of the worst scum, and after their release they have gone back to their practice of planning to kill my family, my children, and my friends.

Besides the solders that were killed searching for Bergdahl, we also have this.

Army MSG Mark Allen’s wife writes on the Facebook site, “Bowe Bergdahl is a traitor:”

"“Meet my husband, injuries directly brought to you by the actions of this traitor. He can’t give an account of what went down, because he can no longer speak. Now, which guy is a ‘hero’ again?!? Sick.”

https://mediachecker.wordpress.com/2014/06/04/army-hero-msg-mark-allen-and-army-deserter-bowe-bergdahl/

"MSG Mark Allen is a hero who selflessly went out to rescue a fellow American soldier from a fanatical enemy known for beheading those they capture. He did his duty from Iraq to Afghanistan, and his life was destroyed and nearly lost on a rescue mission – a rescue mission to save a deserter who abandoned his post and sympathized with the enemy."

"At least six died for the deserter Bergdahl, and many more lives were devastated, like the lives of MSG Mark Allen and his family."
