So what's the deal with these assholes who desert, maybe collaborate with the enemy (Bergdahl) or give out classified intel (Snowden) and then run to foreign governments, and then ask to come home?
I'm hearing that the USDB, Leavenworth has gotten some renovations and is a spiffy place to spend the next 20-to-life.
Hard to believe an 11B knows a ton about bomb-making... unless that was an extracurricular activity of his. And the Taliban are a grade A terrorist outfit. seems like taking coals to Newcastle, if you ask me
Nothing says d2dFS like linking a story that in the second paragraph contradicts the point he is trying to make.
Good times: That account, though, is being called into question amid conflicting claims over whether Bergdahl left a note behind. U.S Army officials who have read the investigation document said there was no reference in that report to a letter.
When FOX NEWS isn't clear about what happened, it's not clear. Either way it will be interesting though.

I won't believe it until I read it on Economiccollapseblog.com
Headline of original article posted in this thread:
Taliban claim captured U.S. solider has converted to Islam and is teaching its fighters bomb-making skills
Your Fox News article contains the words: "conflicting claims", accusations, likely, possibly, questions, unclear, investigation, etc. Most intelligent people would read that article and conclude that there are many unanswered questions surrounding this entire affair.
Bergdahl was promoted 2x by the Army while he was held captive by the Taliban. Why?
So again, I say: LIFPO. You can knee-jerk and circle jerk all you want about this and then try to make it political. I choose not to act that way. Carry on.
Liberal comedian Jon Stewart is more than a little annoyed with President Obama’s inability to control the narrative surrounding the release of Army Sgt. and likely deserter Bowe Bergdahl from Taliban custody, summing up his displeasure succinctly: “Oh shit.”
Stewart charted the strange progression of the Bowe Bergdahl saga during the opening segment of “The Daily Show” Tuesday night — from the story’s initial declaration as “A Magnificent, Wonderful Story” to its quick advancement to “An Absolutely Terrible, Disastrous Catastrophe That Is The Single Worst Thing We As A Country Have Ever Done, And Yes, That Includes When We Gave Syphilis To Prisoners.”
Stewart exposed the hilarious “cliche-off” between the administration’s “leave no man behind” rhetoric and their opposition’s “we don’t negotiate with terrorists” mantra.
And of course, he pulled no punches against the right-wing, singling out Fox News’ anger over Bowe Bergdahl’s father and his bushy Taliban-style beard (though he made no mention of the man’s Pashtun prayer to Allah in the Rose Garden on Saturday).
But Stewart seemed particularly perplexed by President Obama’s delusion that the American people would welcome Bergdahl back with open arms.
“You know what, fine,” he said. “It’s a difficult story, it’s complex, we don’t need to make a big deal out of this. It’s not like the administration is gonna make a big Rose Garden announcement, bring out the guy’s parents with one of them ‘I killed bin Laden again!’ moments.”
“You know that’s not gonna –” he continued, before halting and putting a hand to his earpiece. “Really? They f****** did that? Ok,” he said, burying his head in his hands.
The show cut to a clip from Obama’s Saturday Rose Garden press conference with the Bergdahls. “Bob, Jannie,” Obama said at the time. “Today, families across America share in the joy that I know you feel.”
