The Military Strikes Back At GOP/RW Propaganda: 'You Lie'
Last edited Sat Jun 7, 2014, 04:10 PM - Edit history (5)
Pentagon officials probing claims that eight soldiers died while looking for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl have confirmed two troops from his unit died while the search was underway, but not while they while they were on patrol, a senior defense official told Fox News Friday.
Bergdahl was held by the Taliban for five years before being released last week in exchange for five Taliban Guantanamo detainees. Since his release, members of Bergdahl’s unit at the time of his disappearance have said he was a deserter and claimed eight men died as a result of the search for him.
The official said the two soldiers in Bergdahl’s unit who died were in a combat outpost that was attacked. The official said it was impossible to prove a link between their deaths and Bergdahl's disappearance."

Like I say, put away the popcorn and take out the candied almonds, this GOP on Military propaganda war is going to be awesome.
Fox is dropping the issue like a hot tamale, who in the RW can dispute facts from the Holy Military of America as reported by their very own propaganda leaders?
In case you miss it, note how the Foxy title has little to do with the main facts that the two soldiers died when their base came under attack, during the TIME frame of the search......cons have no concept of time, the more linear it is, the less they understand of it.

(Why do I always feel so dirty after posting a Fox News link, even a factual one...?)
Edit thought: how many soldiers died Saving Private Ryan but Saving Private Bergdahl, the only
American soldier in captivity on the entire planet at the end of a promised 2 year "excursion" that turned into 13 years of war against a force America was never at war with in the first place and were once our beloved bearded allies, is an impeachable offence.....only when the media have totally and collectively lost their minds it is.
Edit info: The Maximum Penalty For Most Serious Desertion Is Five Years Imprisonment
No mention of imprisonment with the Taliban until death. Time served of 5 years imprisoned by the Taliban would seem more than enough punishment though, who would say not?
Uniform Military Code of U.S. Military
Article 85 - Desertion. (This is the most serious of the absentee offenses. Remember the primary difference between AWOL and desertion is intent to remain away from the military permanently.)
(1) If a member deserted, but voluntarily returned to military control: Dishonorable discharge, forfeiture of all pay and allowances, reduction to the lowest enlisted grade, and confinement for 2 years.
(2) If the member deserted and the desertion was terminated by apprehension: Dishonorable discharge, forfeiture of all pay and allowances, reduction to the lowest enlisted grade, and confinement for 3 years.
(3) If the member deserted with the intent to avoid hazardous duty or to shirk important service (and example of this would be a member ordered to deploy to Iraq and then deserts to avoid the deployment): Dishonorable discharge, forfeiture of all pay and allowances, reduction to the lowest enlisted grade, and confinement for 5 years.
(4) If the member deserts during time of war: Death or such other punishment (such as life in prison) as a court-martial may direct.
In Bergdahl's case it is common ground that sub (4) does not apply as an official Congressional deceleration of war confirmed by the President is required.

Unfortunately the smell of Fox will prevail like skunk piss. Thanks for your extreme sacrifice to bring the truth to us ...and the NSA.
