There’s a lot of wild speculation about Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl’s capture by the Taliban and what he did during nearly five years as a prisoner of war, but the Army has cleared him of any wrongdoing during that period.
Army officials say there was no evidence of any wrongdoing by Bergdahl during his long captivity, let alone any evidence that he was helping the Taliban, as had been speculated by some.
The military has yet to conduct a debriefing of Sgt. Bergdahl, and while there remain some unanswered questions about how he was captured, and officials say it is impossible there could be charges related to that, if evidence of desertion was discovered.
Though there has likewise been a lot of speculation of Bergdahl’s possible desertion before his capture, intercepted Taliban communications indicated that he was caught in the bathroom.
None of this will satisfy the ravening hyenas clamoring for his head. They will always hold him responsible for the release of Taliban prisoners, and they will always regard him as a traitor for being captured. His disillusionment with America enrages them to madness. Despite all that, it would be heartening if he keeps his dignity amidst all that hatred.
I just have a big problem thinking anyone would walk away from his unit. He was a combat soldier so he know they intended to kill. Other than my opinion I know nothing. I know when I stood guard I would not even smoke for fear they would shot me.
