Does Anybody Care How Bowe Bergdahl Was Able To Walk Away In The First Place?

There are a thousand different questions surrounding Bowe Bergdahl.

You know the one that sprang to my mind first when I heard the story of him supposedly just up and walking away from his outpost in 2009?

Who let him walk away?

That’s a question nobody is asking in this story.

Nobody has asked the soldiers in his unit who are speaking out against him.  Nobody has asked the military experts giving analysis about his value or the pundits who debate the terms of the prisoner transfer that led to his release.

Who let him walk away?

Because I’ve spent some time on an outpost in Afghanistan.  In the summer fighting season, we had four positions we used for 360-degree coverage of our AO.  We had two men at each position and we rotated guards every three or four hours.  If someone came within 50 meters of our outpost in any direction someone in one of the guard towers could see them.

Even at night, we could see everything.  We had fairly decent night-vision goggles, we had thermal sensors.  Considering the amount of foliage and concealment available in the summer months in Afghanistan, I believe it was actually easier to pull guard at night than during the day.
