Sgt. Bergdahl Tried To Escape Afghanistan Twice

Sgt. Bergdahl Tried To Escape Afghanistan Twice
By John Amato June 6, 2014 6:00 am

It's time for media to quit playing judge and jury and allow actual facts to come out.

Bergdahl had also twice tried to escape, so the militants guarding him had stepped up their numbers, further complicating any potential rescue attempt.

“A rescue mission would have been fraught politically as well as tactically,” according to a senior defense official briefed on the Bergdahl case.

Not all stories can be given, there are reasons behind this. I know lots of folks wants to know every detail but there are more reasons why this should not always be case. We can not continue to run on the RW trail of destruction of Obama and the Democrat party, we need to stop this.

He didn't try to escape Afghanistan, he tried to escape his captors. I also read here yesterday, can't recall which thread it was, where Bergdahl returned to base after one of his earlier "excursions." The article said it will be hard for the military to prove he's guilty of desertion due to that fact.
