Serial Season 2 - Bergdahl

Did Berghdal walk off a post in Iraq ? Or was it another country.

Oh, and since when it is a soldiers right to not fight because of a political reason. It is not. You let the politicians and citizens do that. You might have an opinion but you drive on and do your job. That is not what a soldier in the Army of the United States does.

Context, moron. Maybe you and ohioherd could get together and figure some things out.
 
Honestly, extragreen, are you for real or do you just like to argue?

Do you understand what Berghdal did was illegal and goes against everything a soldier believes and is taught?

Where do you come up with this shi*? Don't care about the soldiers? You realize some of have wore that uniform, have family that does, and friends that do?

I think you honestly are just one of these guys that just like to argue and take opposite sides.
 
Eg you can't force the public justice system into the military justice system. The military has a way of doing things that is foreign to people like you and me who have ever served. Walking off post no matter the reason is the worst thing you can do in war time. I have not made my feelings on bergdal the matter public. It's obvious you think he did nothing wrong unfortunately that's not the case with military justice system.

Yeah, I'm for real. I think you're an ingrate. You are unable to show any respect toward someone who voluntarily enlisted. Do you think Bergdahl joined up with the goal of doing what he's done, or do you think perhaps something may have snapped along the way? You really think he's a muslim sympathizer? At this point, I'm willing to leave it be until the trial takes place. Not you. He's guilty...shoot him....execute him....

I have never mentioned if what he did was wrong or not. I have attempted to make the point that the man just may have come unhinged. I'm not going to judge him like some of you when I don't know enough about what he went through. Military situations have ruined a lot of minds and lives, if they are lucky enough to survive.

I said we don't do that anymore. Lucky for him.

I have no respect for him at all. I think most people feel the same way. Especially if they have worn a uniform. He is dishonorable.

You have no respect for anyone unless you agree with them.
 
I don't have respect for traitors that walk off their post and it gets people killed.

It's war. It ain't pretty. It's an insanity. If it was your brother or father or son, you might show a little concern, but it's not so you'll just play a hard case.

I think most people agree with me greed. And, the ones in uniform do as well. He deserves a court martial and deserves jail time.

So why did Maj. Gen. Kenneth Dahl state that Bergdahl should not see jail time? Why did the army accept him when he was discharged from the Coast Guard for psychological reasons? You have all the answers, let's hear them.....
 
Political pressure.

However, he is now going to trial. The first General's recommendation was just that, a recommendation..

His superior officer has found otherwise and said he should be court martial according to the evidence. It is now up to a military court.

As for the Coast Guard item. The Army nor the Coast Guard has said why he was separated from the Coast Guard. His friends/family have said that it was for psychological reasons.

The Coast Guard described the action as an “uncharacterized discharge,” which is typical for someone who leaves the service without completing basic training.
 
Malarkey.
It's my understanding that it is an rare that the interviewing generals recommendation is overruled. So I'll just declare that the overruling is politically pressured.

Why did the Army accept Bergdahl while knowing he couldn't handle the Coast Guard?

Your assertion that men died because of Bergdahl is unsubstantiated, much less a squad.
 
I don't know why the Army took him. I don't think it has been disclosed why he left the Coast Guard. There appears to be speculation. Guys change services all the time. For some reason he didn't complete his Coast Guard training.

This is at four star General level. He is over US Army Forces Command. Putting it simply, he is the guy in charge of about 10 divisions and reports to the Army Chief of Staff who reports to the POTUS. This is like way up high stuff. He took the Major Generals(2 stars) recommendation and made his decision. When stuff gets to this guys desk it is way important. There are a couple of hundred thousand soldiers under this guys command.

I am not going to argue about whether men died looking for Berghdahl. You can believe what you want to believe. I know better and know for a fact.

Looks to me like the Army either was dredging the bottom for recruits or just messed up by letting someone in that they shouldn't have.

Four star generals usually don't do a 180 on the interviewing generals recommendation.

And no, you don't know for a fact that men died looking for Bergdahl.
 
Don't worry, greed they will probably work a plea for your pal Berghdahl. Maybe Obama can pardoned him if the sentence is too harsh for you.

And maybe you'll stop telling us stuff that's unsubstantiated and quit telling us you know things you don't know.
 
Go ahead and support a traitor.

As for me, I will listen to people who actually looked for the traitor. At best this guy was an idiot and worst he was a traitor. Really he was both and idiot and a traitor. He walked of his compound. He wasn't sleep walking.
