| Bowe Bergdahl: US treated me worse than the Taliban |
| 2017-10-22 |
| [NY Post] Bowe Bergdahl, the Army deserter who walked off his base in Afghanistan, is whining that the US treated him worse than the Taliban. The 31-year-old sergeant told British TV journalist Sean Langan in an interview reported in The Sunday Times of London: "At least the Taliban were honest enough to say, ’I’m the guy who’s gonna cut your throat.’ " That got him less upset than the "administrative duties" the Army assigned him while awaiting trial, he said. "Here, it could be the guy I pass in the corridor who’s going to sign the paper that sends me away for life,’’ he said. "We may as well go back to kangaroo courts and lynch mobs." During his nearly five years as an unwilling guest of the Taliban, he said, he was kept in a steel cage and tortured. Bergdahl complained to Langan ‐ who himself was held by the Taliban for three months in 2008 ‐ about the "endless weeks, months, years on my own.’’ There are conflicting reports that six soldiers died searching for him. He was traded for five Taliban officials freed from Guantanamo Bay. He faces a possible life sentence. |

| #8 The US Army and the US as a whole (except for progs) requires responsibility, the Taliban, eh, not so much. "WAAA! My panties too tight!" Keep him out of circulation for a very long time. Think of the ones that were killed or wounded looking for his sorry ass, thinking he was worth saving. |

| #5 D-bag gives Idaho a bad name. Other than the libtards in Hailey and the north end of Boise, everyone I talk to thinks life in prison is too light a sentence. |

| #3 Dear Bowe - You know, I was actually willing to think that all things considered, they should give you a DD, RIR to E-1, forefiture of all pay and benefits, and then throw your sorry ass out the door. But you just couldn't keep your mouth shut, could you? The Taliban held you for five years, and the United States Army, in its wisdom and majesty, can put you away for a hell of a lot longer...and should. Twenty at Leavenworth, with no parole and all the trimmings, should give you sufficient time and perspective to reconsider your attitude. Mike |
