no American soldier captured in Afghanistan is labeled a POW, they are not using that term, even if they are prisoners of our enemy whom we are at war with....He was not a POW, not even the Pentagon classified him as one.
Bergdahl Never Listed By Pentagon As Prisoner Of War « CBS DC
The Pentagon defines missing/captured as a member of the armed forces who has been seized as the result of action of an unfriendly military or paramilitary force in a foreign country. Some would say that amounts to being a POW. For purposes of reporting and recording the status of service members, the Pentagon some years ago stopped using the term prisoner of war, although it awards a POW Medal for eligible service members and it has a Defense POW/Missing Persons Office.
Still doesn't make them a POW, now does it? You're forgetting something. He willfully gave himself over to the Taliban.
So it makes him a hostage? Like the ones Reagan traded arms for?
