Bowe Bergdahl Diagnosed with Personality Disorder
2016-03-18
[Breitbart] Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, held captive for five years by the Taliban, had a mental-health disorder marked by odd, eccentric behaviors and social isolation when he walked away from his post in Afghanistan in 2009, documents released by his defense team showed.
They'll label him with whatever they have to in order to keep him out of jug...
An Army Sanity Board Evaluation in July 2015 found Bergdahl had schizotypal personality disorder, a psychiatric condition marked by unusual fears and beliefs, the inability to form interpersonal relationships and eccentric behaviors. The condition is different from schizophrenia, which is marked by hallucinations and a disconnect from reality.

#9  I know 0bean is just trying to empty out Gitmo, therefore this result.

Still, we can argue that he should be acting rationally regardless, and should have looked into Berdahl's mental state before negotiating.

#8  I don't think insanity should let you off of treason.

#7  So a Sanity Board interviews a 2015 Bergdahl, after five years of what might have been highly psychologically-damaging captivity, and is able to see through that damage to determine the mental state of a soldier for whom there is no relevant baseline mental-health data, and determines that his mental state at the time of his desertion was impaired by a pre-existing disorder, thus rendering him incapable of rational thought regarding the consequences of his actions? Really? Is there anyone who accepts this as anything more than another convenient government lie to produce a desired political outcome? Is anyone on the "Army Sanity Board" expecting a promotion or favorable reassignment?
Did anybody notice the 3rd star that MG Dahl got after his interview with this POS? Honor and Integrity slip sliding away from the Army as it increasingly displays the Sukhomlinov Syndrome...

#6  Bergdahl deserted in 2009.

In 2015 the medical board makes a diagnosis of what his condition was in 2009 that happens to be exactly what the US Govt wants it to be.

Pretty good textbook example of why most doctors are suspicious of retrospective diagnosis.

#5  Hillary Clinton Bowe Bergdahl Diagnosed with Personality Disorder and memory loss stemming from fall and mini-stroke. Her recent bout of barking like a Kelty provided further confirmation of the medical finding.

If the diagnosis fits, you must acquit.

#2  If he hid it, then he knew it was wrong.

I'm not buying it.

#1  So the Obumble administration has finally come up with an excuse for this guys behavior and some kind of rationalization of why they swapped for him.

So they swapped for him because he wasn't getting the correct meds and counseling?
