DoD Joint Personnel Recovery Agency (JPRA) believes Bergdahl was drugged.
2014-06-11
The JPRA is located here in the States. Bergdahl and the doctors treating him are in Landstuhl, GE. The footprint of the JPRA may be a bit larger now, but I don't recall it having a medical staff of any sort. This is the first time I have ever seen the JPRA make a public statement relative to a missing person, detainee, or captive.

#8  Would you get in a surf boat with that guy? Yikes, poor fuck shopped for crazy in a big box outlet.

#7  Today WaPo disclosed Bergdahl was given an "uncharacterized discharge" from Coast Guard basic training after just 26 days, and then had a waiver so he could be accepted into the US Army.
Lots of Bergdahl's writings in this article. Writings look like the work of someone deranged.

#6  Really.
I'm under the impression that this entire administration is drugged in some form or another. FFS, the greatest minds evah can't come up with a good public face to explain whose fault it is why a shit sandwich tastes like shit.

"Oh, random guy with hippy hair and unmanly beard is going to yodel to crayon in front of the White House...brilliant! Maybe get a candid moment of the Commander in Chief thinking that shits funny."

#5  And nobody at the Pentagon, who I am sure went over the video with a fine-toothed comb, could figure it out at the time?

#4  Based on the recent Taliban video, it appeared to me that that he'd been drugged, at least at the time of the hand-over.

IMNSHO it doesn't necessarily mean that he was a "victim." But yes - that little admission is going to damage the investigation.

#3  The same JPRA that somehow "forgot" to notify my adopted cousin's natural family of the recovery of his remains years after they got DNA samples from the same individuals.

#2  In fairness to the JPRA, their assessment appears to be based upon 'proof of life' video back in December 2013. A JPRA [unnamed] source publically piling on the Bergdahl as 'victim' mantra....not good, not good at all.

Releases from official sources such as this will only taint the investigatory and judicial process. Of course, that may have been the motive.

#1  Let's see, huge opium fields harvested for profit, check. Almost as much marijuana being grown as opium, to the point that most FOB's that had support personel had a DEA guy, check.
So, you say the Hanaqui clan has drugs, eh?
