Obama played this guy up as a hero, as an example of Obama's prowess at rescuing our own military personnel.
But this guy walked off on his fellow soldiers in 2009. He did not deserve to be treated like some kind of hero.
He was a traitor to our country, just like the previous President.
So glad this guy is going to prison.
I can't believe how quickly President Trump is wiping out the corrupt, degrading legacy of Barack Obama.
Let's talk about how this Bergdahl guy
ended up in the media eye:
The
release of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl this weekend was greeted at first by
elation. But among some, the positive feelings have given way to more mixed emotions as
some of the worrying implications of his release become clear.
One
big concern is that the U.S. will be releasing five Taliban commanders in
exchange for Bergdahl. So who are these men? And what might they do when
released?
When
the five Taliban commanders were detained by the United States, the American
war here had only just begun. Though most of them held high-profile
positions in the Taliban regime, they had little experience in the protracted
insurgency that followed the American invasion. The Taliban to which they will
return looks much different from the one they were torn from.
Then we find later on that this Bergdahl guy was a deserter--in essence, a criminal in his own right, or rather wrongdoing.
Here was one statement regarding the underlying concerns about this hostage trade. From Newsweek:
While Bergdahl himself remains a controversial figure—some
critics contend he was a deserter—that is irrelevant to the issues at hand. The
United States will not grant the enemy the right to seize and imprison its
soldiers on suspicion, and punishment for improper acts—if any—are the
responsibility of the American military.
There is no question, though, that the five people released
from Guantanamo in exchange for Bergdahl—Mohammed Fazl, Mohammed Nabi, Abdul
Haq Wasiq, Mullah Norullah Nori, and Khairullah Khairkhwa—are bad guys. First
though: None have been identified as Al-Qaeda members. Rather, in what some may
see as hairsplitting, they were part of the Taliban. This is an important
distinction based on the analysis in the first section of this piece.
This report is particularly compelling. The critics were right about Bergdahl, and once again President Obama showed what an obtuse fool and anti-American ass he really was.
The Associated Press reported last week that Bergdahl, 31, was expected
to enter a guilty plea in his case but that was not confirmed by Bergdahl’s
legal defense team.
His court martial will now be held a week ahead of the previously
scheduled start date of Oct. 23, according to the statement.
Bergdahl faced charges of desertion and misbehavior before the enemy
after his release in May 2014 from almost five years in captivity by the
Taliban.
An Army investigation after his release found that in June 2009,
Bergdahl had allegedly walked away from his unit's remote outpost in eastern
Afghanistan. He was quickly captured by the Taliban, who held him captive for
nearly five years.
Justice served.
Final Reflection
How long did this nonsense dominate the news cycle in 2016?
Obama wanted to push this crap to beef up his own legacy and help Crooked Hillary.
Thank God that the Bergdahl effort flamed out.
I am so happy to see Obama's perverse, self-interested politicking falling away all the more.
God Bless Donald Trump!
