Title: Statement by U.S. Army on Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl investigation
Post by: Chris_ on June 16, 2014, 02:07:58 PM
The Army has initiated its investigation into the facts and circumstances surrounding the disappearance and capture of Sgt. Bowe R. Bergdahl from Combat Outpost Mest-Lalak in Paktika Province, Afghanistan on or about June 30, 2009. The Army has appointed as the investigating officer Maj. Gen. Kenneth R. Dahl, an Army officer with Afghanistan combat experience.

The primary function of this investigation, as in any other investigation, is to ascertain facts and report them to the appointing authority. These types of investigations are not uncommon and serve to establish the facts on the ground following an incident. The investigating officer will have access to previously gathered documentary evidence, including the 2009 investigation.

The Army's top priority remains Sgt. Bergdahl's health and reintegration. We ask that everyone respect the time and privacy necessary to accomplish the objectives of the last phase of reintegration. The investigating officer will not interview Sgt. Bergdahl until the reintegration team clears such interaction, so no timeline for completion of the investigation has been set.

Wasn't an investigation done shortly after he deserted?

The investigation back in 2010 didn't return the findings that Dear Leader wanted, ergo the new "investigation"... ::)

What strikes me is the fact that if anyone he'd served with felt that he was being maligned, they'd have stepped up and would be all over the news.

But nobody has.  Not one single person has stepped up.  That right there tells me a LOT.

Bingo. Game, set and match. h5.

Major General Dahl. I wonder who HE pissed off to be one of the next candydates to inspect the undercarriage of Barry's bus?

I'm betting the commander in chief already ordered the outcome of the investigation.

I have no faith in this investigation whatsoever. Too many top tier officers will be worried for their future plans if they find something the administration doesn't like.

If he is convicted I have no doubts Barry will pardon him.

"Investigation" = Delay = Getting this fiasco off newspaper front pages and off TV news

"Investigation" = Time to whitewash Bergdahl into a somewhat sympathetic guy who did something he shouldn't have at a time he was having head problems

"Investigation" =  Time to paint his unit guys as bitter angry hard-asses

Exactly!  If those fellow soldiers felt like he was being mistreated in ANY way they would be whooping ass in the media.

The silence was (and continues to be!) as deafening as it was telling.
