Title: Breaking: Bergdahl Being Released To Active Duty As Early As Today

This is insane, with ample evidence of desertion, not to mention the effect on morale of those forced to work with him? He should be in jail pending the conclusion of the “investigation”.

Quote
WASHINGTON — Six weeks after being released from five years in Taliban captivity, Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl is expected to return to life as a regular Army soldier as early as Monday, Defense Department officials said late Sunday.
 
Sergeant Bergdahl has finished undergoing therapy and counseling at an Army hospital in San Antonio, and will assume a job at the Army North headquarters at the same base, Fort Sam Houston, the officials said.
 
He is also expected to meet with Maj. Gen. Kenneth R. Dahl, the officer who is investigating the circumstances of Sergeant Bergdahl’s disappearance from his outpost in Afghanistan in 2009.
 
Sergeant Bergdahl’s transfer from the therapy phase to a regular soldier’s job is part of his reintegration into Army life, officials said. He will live in barracks and have two other soldiers help him readjust.
 
The sergeant has been an outpatient at the hospital for about three weeks, during which time he continued to participate in debriefings about his time as a Taliban prisoner. He was released six weeks ago in exchange for five senior Taliban detainees.
 
Last Thursday, Senator Carl Levin, a Michigan Democrat who heads the Armed Services Committee, released letters from each of the Joint Chiefs of Staff supporting the repatriation of Sergeant Bergdahl, a rebuttal to critics who said the swap should not have been made.

If the Pentagon concluded he was not worth rescuing at a certain point, because he left, then how can they return him to duty now?

I am not surprised that many of us see conspiracy in just about everything that goes on under this administration .. me included.

Being former Army, I can only speculate as to what is happening here.

Regulations demand that he (Bergdahl) must be under military control to be tried militarily.

My guess is that they'll send Bergdahl to a Personnel Control Facility (more of a holding facility and not a stockade) to put him under a Commander until they decide what to do with him.

Bergdahl could get $350G tax-free, if cleared by Army

Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl could have a tax-free $350,000 dropped into his bank account if the current investigation into his disappearance from his base in Afghanistan was not desertion, and if he is deemed to have been a prisoner of war for the five years he was held by Islamic militants, Fox News has learned.

The 28-year-old soldier, for whom the U.S. traded five senior Taliban operatives held at Guantanamo Bay, was set to return to active duty Monday after spending six weeks in medical rehab at Fort Sam Houston, in San Antonio.

“Essentially he’ll be working a desk job,” Pentagon spokesman Col. Steve Warren told reporters at the Pentagon Monday.

$350,000 if cleared. Hopefully not how things are looking.

I hope the families of the men who died looking for him sue his ass off.

Yeah, at remote FOBs in war zones, but they'd have to be nuts to send him back to a war zone...plus it's also against policy to send an escaped or released former POW back into the same war zone.  On top of that, as a SSG, he'd be a squad leader and so wouldn't be detailed to do the burning himself even as punishment.

I figured they'd send him right into a White House position.

Would you trust this assclown? I wouldn't be surprised if he picked up a weapon and started gunning down we "infidels". I can't believe they didn't reserve a special place for him at Club Leavenworth for 20 years.

The jury is still out. There is talk that Bergdahl will be offered a resignation to avoid an ugly courts martial. It would be of the other than honorable discharge.

I feel quite sure that Bergdahl will get his spot at the DB in Kansas.

Trust has nothing to do with your completely moronic assertion that the President would order him to go to Ft. Bliss and "continue Nidal Hassan's handiwork."

To say that the way you did...almost like you wish it would happen...is one of the most ****ing retarded things I've seen posted on here...and that's saying something.

You might think you're cute or provocative in what you said...but to the rest of us...you just come off as a ****ing tool bag.

TRG, I read his comment as complete sarcasm. Barry is about 27 levels removed from sending Bergdahl anywhere, so ranger75's comments are sarcastic purely on that basis. One minor point - Hassan's "work" was done at Ft. Hood, not Ft. Bliss.

Other than that, carry on.

But "the rest of us"? Only very insecure people speak with collective pronouns. That's the second time that's happened here in less than a week. You speak for yourself and no one else.

I see you and he are in a bit of a tussle, so I'll just stand aside and watch the fur fly. I have no dog in this fight.

Please point to examples of what you consider my "trolling". BTW, I haven't seen anyone use that word in ages...except for every homosexual in every web board in existence who has hate issues. I mean that's OK. I'm a pretty liberal conservative when it comes to race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual preference. Now if I did come over there, I mean to the air terminal, where would I find you? "Trolling" the men's room?

Some how the homophobic slurs were exactly what I expected of you.  Trolls tend to resort to that when they've got nothing left.

They also tend to back off their boisterous claims when their bluff is called. 

And they start doing anything they can to divert from the fact they are acting like ass clowns.


You're three for three troll.

Oh and let me go back and address something before I forget:

Bergdahl is assigned to Ft. Sam Houston.  Nidal was at Ft. Hood...not Ft. Bliss.   :whatever:

Looks like you need to take your own advice and "take a remedial 6th grade English course. "

Interesting little factoid:

Quote
At Fort Sam Houston, Bergdahl will have a "sponsor" to help him adjust to Army life again, Manuszewski said, which he called routine for anyone new at the post. The Army tries to match people who are of a similar age, with a sponsor sometimes being a few ranks above the post newcomer.

The New York Times reported Monday that two soldiers will help Bergdahl readjust to Army life.

Sponsors are used for most soldiers to show them were the PX and Commissary are...not to help them "adjust" to life at a new duty assignment.

My guess is those two "sponsors" are body guards to make sure he doesn't get the crap kicked out of him when no one is looking.
