The GOP is swift-boating Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl
 
And it is despicable .

"Support the troops" my ass.

They're more than willing to shit on a US serviceman if it can be used as a tool to bludgeon Obama.

Have they no shame AT ALL?

2. I hope all members of the military,

as well as their families and friends, are paying attention to things the GOP are saying, writing and tweeting. How they can vote GOP is mind boggling.

Yeah.

We're going to come running to the party that calls us war criminals and baby-killers (but only when a Republican president is in the WH) while gutting military spending and forcing what little is left to pursue idiotic leftist policies.

He willingly went for a walk right into the arms of our enemy. That makes him a traitor, not a POW. You guys (DUmmies) need to wake up from your fantasy world and see the truth.

Your  (DUmmies) hero obama,  just traded a traitor to set free 5 high level jihadish enemies to our country free.

What the DUmmies don't understand is that when DUSTWUN is called EVERYONE stops EVERYTHING and the sole mission of anyone in uniform becomes finding that missing soldier.

The soldiers who took great risks to go into places they normally wouldn't go to find a allegedly captured American soldier...have every right to be upset when they find out that this person they don't know...but are risking their lives to bring back...purposely deserted his post to intentionally seek out the enemy in order to aid and abet them.

If the morons on DU truly knew or cared anything about those of us in uniform they'd be as pissed as I and others are that Bergdahl is being treated like a hero.

IMO I think deep down the DUmmies WANT him treated like a hero because some who deserts the U.S. Military to side with the enemy is a heroic act.

Remember...this is the same group that cheered soldiers who deserted to Canada to avoid deploying to Iraq.

They've been that way since Vietnam...its in their DNA.

According to a report I read today...a couple days after Bergdahl deserted...the OP he was assigned to was almost completely overrun.  They had to declare Broken Arrow in order to prevent the OP from completely being taken by enemy forces...who had never tried such an attack like this before.

Can we NOT disseminate the right wing meme that Bergdahl was a deserter here at DU?
   
Please, for the love of reason, stop. Just stop and think for one blessed minute. Bergdahl has not been court martialed and frankly even if he is, war takes a terrible toll and I have sympathy for those that crack under its stresses. The right wing is busy, busy, busy spreading pernicious apocryphal crap for political reasons.

And some of you are busy, busy, busy helping them do it.

33. Fellow soldiers who are speculating with no eye witness account of what happened.

If Bergdahl was disliked by his fellow soldiers because he wasn't gung-ho enough, I can see them jumping to that conclusion.

Fact is, none of them saw Bergdahl leave. Nobody but Bergdahl knows at the moment what really happened despite what irresponsible journalists write in hopes of feeding the right wing smear machine.

Yeah. It's way easy to go missing from a COP on the Af-Pak border.

Could happen to anyone...

I have a friend who recently retired from the Army, as a full Colonel. She's anything but a "right-winger." She did tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. Now she raises bees and goats and strawberries and posts memes on Facebook about feminism and income inequality. [Just say "dyke" already. Jeez! -- SGT SB]

She seems convinced that he deserted. From inside info.
And yes, she's happy he was rescued, feels bad for him, and would trade 5 Talibaners for one GI any day.

But, not everything we don't like is a "right wing meme."

36. I seriously don't understand why even those in his unit would not give him the benefit
 
of the doubt. Even if he did walk away, his state of mind is very much something to be considered. With all the controversy around PTSD and the the treatment of mental health issues in the military, the possibility of him being in acute distress was the first thing to come to mind for me when this rumor started circulating. What if he was suicidal?

Bowe Bergdahl deserves a chance to heal in privacy and safety.

PS. I'm so sick of seeing John McCain trotted out there to comment in his "tut, tut" sanctimonious way. This guy has been wrong so many times on issues of war and peace and human interactions in general. He needs to sit down and quit interjecting himself.

His state of mind is: Proglodyte.

What you read would have been unfettered bullshit, primitive.  Arnold started negotiating with the British almost two years before the events at West Point occurred.  Had he been able to catch Washington, which he almost did, he would have been set for life.  The reason for the correspondence that Major Andre was carrying correspondence that night is that they had missed their earlier opportunity and were hoping to catch Washington as he returned.  George Washington did everything he could for the man.

Washington crossed through West Point traveling to Connecticut to meet with the French.  Arnold tried to have a contingent of Royal Marines ambush Washington, but there was not enough time to arrange an ambush by the time the British got the message.  The three members of the New York militia that caught Major Andre were mostly engaged in highway robbery and realized what they had.  Arnold immediately abandoned his post and headed for New York City.

The man behind the Facebook group “Bowe Bergdahl is NOT a Hero!” isn’t, as most would initially believe, some conservative crank mad at the Obama administration for swapping five Taliban prisoners in exchange for the American prisoner of war. According to Jake Tapper, Greg Leatherman, the creator of the group, was actually one of Bergdahl’s squad leaders before he disappeared and allegedly abandoned his post.

The page was created last Saturday, the day Bergdahl was released, and has become a gathering place for fellow soldiers to air their many grievances against Bergdahl, whom they consider a deserter both directly and indirectly responsible for the lives of dozens of soldiers. While many of his former squad members have told their stories to the press, the level of animosity on the 8,000 member-strong Facebook page is vitriolic, to say the least. Here’s a random sampling via screenshot:

http://www.mediaite.com/online/admin-of-anti-bergdahl-facebook-group-revealed-as-former-squad-leader/

My only regret in this whole matter is how much this is undermining military respect for civil authority. This is a breach of trust that will endure long past Obama's term ends. I doubt he planned it that way but I'll wager he's OK with that.

However, on the plus side the Proglodytes are racing headlong to hitch their wagons to Bergdahl.

We need to make sure they are never allowed to forget that fact.

You didn't miss anything.  By his second term, it was abundantly clear to those of us in the Army and our brother Marines that all he cared about was getting his end wet and his own political butt, and he would never initiate the commitment of ground troops to combat, no matter how great the provocation.  Osama, Saddam, al-Assad, and the ayatollahs in Iran read him like a book, a simple one at that.  It was f#@king embarrassing.

As usual, the hypocrisy at DU is so thick you cold cut it with a knife.

Firstly, regarding Bergdahl's apparent desertion, the same crowd that is always ready to automatically convict and punish in situations like a white guy killing a black guy, or a conservative being accused of anything, is now pleading vociferously to "wait until the facts come out", "not rush to judgement", and "let due process take its course without speculating."

Secondly, their concern for troops' treatment as a POWs, the harsh psychological impact of war, etc., rings hollow in light of their years of blaming the soldiers themselves for their predicament, "blindly following orders and volunteering to participate in an illegal war" (see John McCain). Normally they would display a "that's what you get" attitude.

Lastly, their general support of any serviceman or -woman after the years of disdain and outright hatred they've displayed towards the military is sickening, doubly so since the only ones they seem to be able to get behind are fakes, liars and traitors.

They'll do anything to back up their god-king Obama, though, and try to distract from his unmitigated ****-up of a presidency.

There was a n event where Clinton was going to meet and greet my unit back in the day. My squad leader at the time asked me what I would do if he were to come up to me to shake my hand. I told him I would spit in his hand and then do an about face. It is safe to say that I never got the chance.

Six now, Reb . . . :cheersmate:

Seven. And then some.

So the primitives think Bergdahl is worth getting worked up over (no mention of the terrorist swap), but the violent deaths of four Americans in Libya are not.

I guess we all have our priorities.

As usual, the hypocrisy at DU is so thick you cold cut it with a knife.

Firstly, regarding Bergdahl's apparent desertion, the same crowd that is always ready to automatically convict and punish in situations like a white guy killing a black guy, or a conservative being accused of anything, is now pleading vociferously to "wait until the facts come out", "not rush to judgement", and "let due process take its course without speculating."

Secondly, their concern for troops' treatment as a POWs, the harsh psychological impact of war, etc., rings hollow in light of their years of blaming the soldiers themselves for their predicament, "blindly following orders and volunteering to participate in an illegal war" (see John McCain). Normally they would display a "that's what you get" attitude.

Lastly, their general support of any serviceman or -woman after the years of disdain and outright hatred they've displayed towards the military is sickening, doubly so since the only ones they seem to be able to get behind are fakes, liars and traitors.

They'll do anything to back up their god-king Obama, though, and try to distract from his unmitigated ****-up of a presidency.

Great post. It's definitely a telling sign. We all know damn well when the leftists start trying to sound like the voice of reason, something else is going on and they don't want it out in the light.

@JohnnyReb, the sixties *didn't* end- for them or for us. They just moved deeper underground & then a few of them surface when 0bama was elected (& after the newly empowered democrats in Congress cleared the way for them).

@Rebel (  :-D must be rebel day at the CC?) Exactly!

I think it's hilarious and pathetic that Cali is saying, "don't spread this around on DU!!!!!!"  Do any of them realize what the internet looked like yesterday afternoon?

There was a n event where Clinton was going to meet and greet my unit back in the day. My squad leader at the time asked me what I would do if he were to come up to me to shake my hand. I told him I would spit in his hand and then do an about face. It is safe to say that I never got the chance.

A high-five for that one!

Rebel, thanks so much for screencapping that. 

DUmmies, do you have any idea what's going on off the island?  You just removing the post changes nothing.  God, you're loathsome. 

I've just been to the ABC News website; not a RWNJ site, just a general source.  There are 1,084 comments attached to the Bergdahl story, and I've yet to find a single one that reflects the DUmp's despicable views.  Not one.

To them that just proves the charge that Fox and Limbaugh have poisoned the mind of Americans.

I don't have cable/sat/dish so I don't watch FOX NEWS and don't listen to Rush ....so, it must be in the water.

Add me to the list of Veterans that thinks somethings wrong with why that kid went missing . His own fellow troops are selling him out as the traitor he is and that says enough to at least have him brought to a trial.

No wonder Carney quit.  He probably knew this was another scandal ready to blow up.  Especially after he had a press conference last year assuring reporters that they would notify congress 30 days in advance of release of the Gitmo detainees.

Every time I see a picture of Carney on the news, he looks like he's about to cry.  Maybe the Fox News photographer is just good at his job.
