Morning Joke takes large dump on Bergdahl

Joe is not here today but his nasty spirit is strong in Mika. A large panel (with Eugene Robinson) yet no one has suggested Bergdahl's mental health could have caused him to leave camp (if he did indeed leave and was not taken.) She was also very uncomfortable with Bowe's father. Mika: "I really don't want to be this person, I really don't, this person who wonders, Is Bergdahl a deserter? Was it worth it? Is he worth it? I really don't want to be that person, I really don't!"

There is proof that Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and others caused the deaths of our youth. There is, as of yet, no substantiated proof that this soldier caused any.

I didn't realize that POWs should have to meet certain criteria for the US government to decide to try to rescue/retrieve them? This train of thought is extremely disturbing though I suspect that it is borne out of GOP Tea Party desire to question/criticize EVERYTHING that PBO does. If there is wrongdoing alleged by POWs, the Pentagon and/or our justice system can certainly address those after we get them back, right?

7. Pentagon review says charges 'unsubstantiated'

The soldiers began a frantic search for Sergeant Bergdahl using Predator drones, Apache attack helicopters and military tracking dogs. The most intense search operation, leaked war reports show, wound down after eight days — well before the deaths of six soldiers on patrols in Paktika Province in late August and early September. But, complicating matters, some soldiers contend they were effectively searching for 90 days because of clear orders: If they heard rumors from locals that Sergeant Bergdahl might be nearby, they should patrol the area.

The anger toward Sergeant Bergdahl increased exponentially after Sept. 4, when they learned that two members of Third Platoon, which routinely went on tandem missions with Second Platoon and who they believed were also searching for Sergeant Bergdahl, had been killed in an ambush. Pfc. Matthew Martinek and Lt. Darryn Andrews, both of them friends of Mr. Cornelison, died in the ambush. A Defense Department official said it was unclear whether the two men were killed directly because of the search for Sergeant Bergdahl.

If he was off to commit suicide?

If he slept walk off base?

If he hallucinated, or a in a mental state where he was "out of it"?

What if he was had not walked away but was taken?

Why is his mental health not considered?

drop the 'support the troops meme'. You see vested interests want perpetual war and this exchange is not in their interests.
