First Obama said they didn't notify congress because they had to act quickly because of "deteriorating health" and now it's because they didn't want congress to leak it?
Why all the damn lies!
Why all the damn lies!
Uh, not all Afghans deserve killing. And has there been anything released about Bergdahl before his capture/desertion that indicated he was a bad soldier? Poor performances, disciplinary actions, etc?
Obama admin offical is now trying to play the "maybe his platoon was full of pscyhopaths". Just what the fuck is this administration thinking? They're doubling down on stupid. This scandal has serious legs.

The Obama Administration has stated that Bergdahl served with "Honor and Distinction."
If you like the Administration's Lies, you are welcome to keep the Administration's Lies.

I dunno. Clearly claiming that the Taliban would kill him is more bullshit, but I'd be thoroughly amazed had Congress not leaked it if told beforehand. It's what Congress does, and the only difference with the Republicans would be that it appears first on Fox News rather than in the New York Times.What complete and utter bullshit. This criminal administration is now saying they broke the law by not informing congress because if leaked taliban was going to kill the deserter.
BULLSHIT! Congress has access to all kinds of highly classified material, they're not going to leak it.

Unless he was declared an enemy of the state, his performance, and history is irrelevant. The righty retards can't seem to get that through their thick ass skulls. No surprise really, they are all about character assassination when it comes to pushing political agendas.

http://time.com/2826442/taliban-kidnappings-bergdahl/A Taliban commander close to the negotiations over the release of U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl told TIME Thursday that the deal made to secure Bergdahl’s release has made it more appealing for fighters to capture American soldiers and other high-value targets.
“It’s better to kidnap one person like Bergdahl than kidnapping hundreds of useless people,” the commander said, speaking by telephone on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to speak to the media. “It has encouraged our people. Now everybody will work hard to capture such an important bird.”
File this under the NO SHIT folder. Traitor in the white house. Time to remove him.
Taliban Commander: More Kidnappings to Come After Bergdahl Deal
http://time.com/2826442/taliban-kidnappings-bergdahl/
The administration chose to put him on a pedestal as a honorable soldier.
Yet the Army has indicated otherwise, both in locked documents and people that were with him.
Has there been anyone that was with him in Afghanistan that has come forward positively. Grunts with him and/or COs?

I'm not sure it's irrelevant, but to me a lot of the flack being thrown at this guy comes off like a bunch of high school jocks verbally piling onto the weird kid in the theater club.
Maybe one should question why the flak/mud is being thrown?
The administration placed the guy on a pedestal; does he deserve that position?
The Taliban was already doing everything they could to kidnap US servicemen.
Anyone who thinks otherwise is retarded.
Maybe helpful to read some of the newer released information from the Army investigative official report.
I find all the hysteria over his release from the party of the "soldiers" pretty disgusting. They traded 5 guys who they would have to release anyhow in some months for a soldier who hasn't been charged with anything, who people were imploring the President to do all he could to bring home not too long ago. Why all the outrage over this?
If you don't believe me let a GOP congressman tell it.
The GOP has sunk to new lows. But even worse are those that defend them.
This president has given them an increased incentive.
Anyone who thinks otherwise is retarded.
Liberal logic:
They were going to kidnap our guys anyway, so it's perfectly fine to release 5 of the most dangerous terrorists to kill people and plot against us. I mean at this point, what difference does it make?
Oh jesus, no they didn't. They said nice things about a returning POW because that's what you do with a returning POW. You do the same thing for anyone who has just been through a traumatic experience, even if they are a dirtbag.

It seems as it the administration was pushing for political points; They did not check with the Army (there may not have been a perceived need for it though). Same attitude as when they got OBL; political points trump military security.
Its portrayal of him as a soldier is said to be positive, with quotes from both commanders and squadmates apparently including some of the men now criticizing him describing him as punctual, always in the correct uniform and asking good questions. It quotes colleagues as saying that he expressed some boredom and frustration that they were not kicking down doors more to go after insurgents who were destroying schools.
"Honor and Distinction"
Then they start backtracking when the Army starts to have documents released and military personal that served with him start to talk.
If so proud; then why the backsteps?
Interesting. I guess we never should have exchanged prisoners in other wars then as we were just giving the enemy a greater incentive to capture our people. Oh wait, in both cases they were already trying as hard as they could to capture our people.
It's amazing how stupid you are. For all the time you spend waving guns around at shitty chicken sandwich shops you would think that you'd know the first thing about how war works.

Nothing wrong with Bergdahl's complaining about the Army. And while I didn't have e-mail, I, like a lot of fellows, had similar complaints. (Though, I wouldn't have ever shared them with my Dad the B-17 pilot.)"The future is too good to waste on lies," Bowe wrote. "And life is way too short to care for the damnation of others, as well as to spend it helping fools with their ideas that are wrong. I have seen their ideas and I am ashamed to even be american. The horror of the self-righteous arrogance that they thrive in. It is all revolting."
The e-mail went on to list a series of complaints: Three good sergeants, Bowe said, had been forced to move to another company, and "one of the biggest shit bags is being put in charge of the team." His battalion commander was a "conceited old fool." The military system itself was broken: "In the US army you are cut down for being honest... but if you are a conceited brown nosing shit bag you will be allowed to do what ever you want, and you will be handed your higher rank... The system is wrong. I am ashamed to be an american. And the title of US soldier is just the lie of fools." The soldiers he actually admired were planning on leaving: "The US army is the biggest joke the world has to laugh at. It is the army of liars, backstabbers, fools, and bullies. The few good SGTs are getting out as soon as they can, and they are telling us privates to do the same."
After receiving an email from his father exhorting him to "OBEY YOUR CONSCIENCE," Bowe slipped out of his unit's barracks on June 30th, 2009. One man versus the wilds of Afghanistan, Bergdahl was equipped with just a knife, water, a digital camera and his diary. Barely 24 hours later, he'd be taken prisoner. Bergdahl's capture is recorded in radio intercepts later released by WikiLeaks:
The Taliban was already doing everything they could to kidnap US servicemen.
Anyone who thinks otherwise is retarded.
