Let's take a look

And non disclosures had to be signed because someone was feeding things to rightwing radio who started urging the Taliban to cut Bergdahl's head off.  That seemed weird too that someone on that battlefield had to get wingnut radio involved for some reason.

The GOP is freaking out over this and I'm guessing it is because they can no longer scream about how Obama "leaves men behind". Their complete hysterical overreaction to the whole thing has given me a clue to that. They are not calmly asking questions. They are screaming and hurling accusations not only at him but threatening his family, the people of the town he lived in.

It was the right thing to bring him home.  I wish, for the sake of the facts and how it's getting harder and harder to tune out the right-wing noise machine, that the administration had somehow planned better for what was coming.  They had to know the GOP was going to want blood for Obama not giving Congress the required notice, and someone in the administration - there had to be someone among the vast numbers of senior military - should have schooled Obama on the challenges of bringing home someone whose loyalty was going to be called into question.

I didn't see it, but Susan Rice's comments on the Sunday shows - that Bergdahl had served with honor and distinction - just added fuel to the fire.  I mean, WTF, Susan?

I may have mentioned that my nephew is in the middle of basic training at Parris Island (Marines); I suppose I feel connected to this now in a way I couldn't have been before, but I can't imagine how heartsick Bergdah's family must be that they can't even celebrate their son's return.  I know it's not reasonable for us to love everyone as we love our own children, but can't people have some level of understanding and compassion in light of what these people - not to mention Bergdahl himself - have been through?

It truly just makes me sick to my stomach what people are saying about Bergdahl without knowing - not even close to knowing - what the whole story is.  And the media...jesus, there just aren't strong enough words to describe the non-stop smearing they've been engaging in.  None.

Does it seem to you that the administration's being kind of quiet about this?  Maybe there's nothing to be gained by playing the right's game, but it seems to me they have to do something.

"I had forgotten about that abducted American," said Manikhel. "I hope the U.S. can re-arrest the Talibs that they released."

and even if what the villagers say is true, it hardly proves that Bergdhal deserted.

There may be another side of the story that would make the soldiers look bad at best.

And as to why are not soldiers coming out supporting Bergdhal?

And if he was a deserted the Army would have officially labeled him one would not they have?

And I don't know so much that the media is "seeking out" those who served with Bergdahl as much as the ones we've been hearing from have been helped into the spotlight by those known to be skilled Republican ratfkers.

If he deserted, the Army needs to deal with that.  And I understand the anger fellow unit-members could have toward Bergdahl if he did, in fact, desert.

And I can tell you this, my spouse after leaving duty would not break a non disclosure agreement unless something horrific was being covered up.  He'd cut his own heart out first.  At first Leatherman and friends seemed to pass that smell test though because their friends died looking for Bergdahl......BUT NO THEY DIDN'T.  

Taliban radio intercepts said Bergdahl seemed drunk upon his capture.  I don't know what happened, that fits though...the dazed thing.

Why do you immediately assume Bergdahl is at fault here?  What if someone slipped him a Mickey because they thought he was a smug ba$tard  for not drinking beer with them?

There is nothing about any of this any more that is clear, and the truth tellers, I am afraid of what these guys may have done that led to all this.

It is important to remember that when McChrystal took over Afghanistan, forces on the ground were told they were not pulled back.  They were supposed to be out there showing cultural respect and friendship to the Afghans.

The President used the parents of the soldier for political gain.

He chose to put out a narrative and it's now being challenged.

He also chose to trade 5 very bad terrorists for a soldier that went AWOL.

Reagan twice because he won the Cold War and fixed the economy.

Bush I because he said no new taxes.

Perot because Bush I said no new taxes and I knew what Clinton was.

Dole because I knew what Clinton was.

Bush I because I thought he could fix the economy. Remember the NASDAQ ran off 50% between 3/2000 and 3/2001. Everyone in telecom was spooked. Plus, I didn't believe a word Gore said.

Bush II because the Demos ran Kerry. Really?? Did you think people would take him seriously. Plus he lied about being in Cambodia and his association with the anti-war Left.

McCain because I knew what Obama was. Boy was I right. Plus McCain is a true hero.

Romney because Obama had proved he couldn't manage a lemonade stand. Romney was totally qualified.

I believe IF we survive the attack by radical Muslims on our culture we can slowly change the issues re gays, etc. But you must win the war.

In 2016 Walker and Jindal or vice verso is my choice.

Your kidding yourself if you think Obama wants to do anything but reduce our defense capability.
