This is my 1st post here. As a retired Navy veteran I had to reply on this. I don't have a problem with getting Bergdahl back. What really irritates me is the Obama administration negotiated with terrorists for a known deserter and then had the nerve to say that this piece of garbage served with honor and distinction. It's a spit in the face of anyone that has served in the military. Soldiers lost there lives looking for this guy. If the Obama administration had been forthcoming from the start it would not had bothered me as much.
Wow, look at all the fact challenged statements...
Obama negotiated with terrorists at the BEHEST of our ally in the region, the Afghan Provisional Government.
As far as Obama knew, Bergdahl had served with honor and distinction because they Army at that point wasn't saying otherwise.
Nobody lost their lives looking for this guy. Searches were called off pretty quickly and members of his unit who died perished during other operations, like the fradulant 2009 election.
Was it Obama who wasn't forthcoming or the Army.
The Army didn't list him as AWOL or a Deserter.
The Army continued to promote him in absentia.
The Army listed him as a POW.
