Bergdahl returns to U.S. Army active duty in Texas

(Reuters) - U.S. Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl is transitioning to regular active duty status, having completed therapy and counseling following his return from captivity in Afghanistan, the Defense Department said on Monday.
Bergdahl, who was released in May after five years as a Taliban prisoner of war in Afghanistan, is being assigned to work at the Army North headquarters at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, the department said in a statement.
"He will now return to regular duty within the command where he can contribute to the mission," it said.
Officials characterized the move as "the final phase of the reintegration process."
The Pentagon also said the Army was still investigating the circumstances surrounding Bergdahl's 2009 disappearance from his post in Afghanistan and subsequent capture by Taliban militants.
The New York Times reported that he would meet with Major General Kenneth Dahl, who is leading the investigation.
Bergdahl has been allowed to venture off base during several weeks of treatment at an Army hospital in Texas. As he returns to active duty, he will live in barracks and will have two soldiers assigned to help him during the transition, according to the newspaper.
Bergdahl was captured in Afghanistan on June 30, 2009, in unclear circumstances. He was released on May 31 in a prisoner swap for five Taliban leaders held at the Guantanamo Bay U.S. military prison in Cuba.
The release initially sparked euphoria in the United States that quickly turned into a political debate over whether he had abandoned his post and whether the prisoner swap should have gone ahead.

I hope he defects to Mexico. Talk about a great visual. 1,500 middle schoolers from Nicaragua coming North across the border, and this idiot passing by heading for Juarez.

I didn't say that. Your more than welcome to your opinion. This is a free country. Your opinion just happens to be wrong.

Telling a soldier that fought in the battle of Fallujah that he can't call a deserter a pos is out of your league. Sorry.
Tell me not to call him a POS...I've never served.
It's amazing that you liberals are so busy sucking off this piece of shite president that you worship that you avoid the real topics. But hey....Bundy and Hobby Lobby are what really matters, right?
