I find it interesting that he allegedly escaped for nine days. Then his body gave out and he returned to the Taliban.

Also, the fact that his fellow soldiers are coming out against him is a huge red flag.

I also think his former unit coming out against him is a huge red flag. It takes an enormous frickup for that to happen.

Here's one former soldier from his unit that's still angry... LINK

quote:

The Daily Beast’s Christopher Dickey later wrote that "[w]hether Bergdahl…just walked away from his base or was lagging behind on a patrol at the time of his capture remains an open and fiercely debated question.” Not to me and the members of my unit. Make no mistake: Bergdahl did not "lag behind on a patrol,” as was cited in news reports at the time. There was no patrol that night. Bergdahl was relieved from guard duty, and instead of going to sleep, he fled the outpost on foot. He deserted. I’ve talked to members of Bergdahl’s platoon—including the last Americans to see him before his capture. I’ve reviewed the relevant documents. That’s what happened.
