Bergdahl’s Reckoning: Barack Obama’s Favorite Army Deserter Pleads Guilty
Infamous Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl plead guilty Monday to charges that he put his troop in danger when he walked out on his post in 2009.
Bergdahl, who was stationed in Afghanistan at the time he went AWOL, was subsequently captured by the Taliban and held in captivity until May 2014. At that time, President Barack Obama broke with decades of U.S. policy and negotiated the soldier’s release by letting five Taliban terrorists out of Guantanamo Bay. That trade was harshly criticized at the time, and it has only become more controversial in the intervening years as we learn more about Bergdahl’s circumstances. Not only does it make America less secure to bargain with terrorists, it sticks in the craw of many patriots that Obama broke the cardinal rule for THIS solider in particular.
After securing his release, Obama held a Rose Garden ceremony where Bergdahl’s parents were honored and America was told how their son “served with honor and distinction” in Afghanistan. As it turns out, that wasn’t quite the truth. Bergdahl walked off his post for no good reason at all, fell into the hands of the enemy, and endangered members of his troop by compelling them to perform a dangerous and doomed-to-fail rescue attempt.
As Fox News reports, Bergdahl’s time spent with the Taliban was also subject to scrutiny:
At one point during his captivity, Bergdahl converted to Islam, fraternized openly with his captors and declared himself a “mujahid,” or warrior for Islam, Fox News reported in 2014, citing secret documents prepared on the basis of a purported eyewitness account.
The reports indicate that Bergdahl’s relations with his Haqqani captors morphed over time, from periods of hostility, where he was treated very much like a hostage, to periods where, as one source told Fox News, “he became much more of an accepted fellow” than is popularly understood. He even reportedly was allowed to carry a gun at times.
The documents show that Bergdahl at one point escaped his captors for five days and was kept, upon his re-capture, in a metal cage, like an animal. In addition, the reports detail discussions of prisoner swaps and other attempts at a negotiated resolution to the case that appear to have commenced as early as the fall of 2009.
We hesitate to put too much importance on Bergdahl’s bizarre time in captivity because we don’t know what the Taliban might have done to mess with his head. After five years of imprisonment by Islamist terrorists – at least some of which were certain to involve the harshest of conditions – even a man of excellent character could be persuaded to do things that might look…unusual…to a Monday-morning quarterback.
But Bergdahl’s crime has little to do with that and everything to do with his original decision to leave his post. He supposedly hoped that his desertion would shine a spotlight on problems within his squadron. Well, that’s simply not the way to go about bringing change – especially when you’re in an active war zone. We’ll see if the judge decides to grant him leniency based on his plea and other extenuating circumstances, but we wouldn’t be surprised or upset if he didn’t. We wouldn’t go as far as to call Bergdahl a traitor…but he’s about as close to one as you can get without earning the title.
Nothing to discuss, he should be trussed up on a pole and shot. jdagata usmc
Obama freed five enemy combatants for a traitor…He sold out his country and the people he served with…He should rot in chains if he isn’t shot…
He should be shot.
He gets no sympathy from me. He needs to face a firing squad.
I can’t wait to hear Bathhouse Barry whoever the hell he is doing the same or on the run.
The whole thing smells of a deal. Just have to wait and see what happens.
Screed or not, Old Sarge I think you have hit the nail on the head. Ooorah!
Just heard on FOX this morning that his lawyers were planning to call Obama to testify. I wonder if that was what a deal was based on?
obuma used Bergdahl as an excuse to release 5 terrorists. 2 of whom returned to the battlefield…That makes him even more guilty that Bergdahl. Lock them up together.
They can share the same prayer rug ,a piece of toilet paper .
you forgot to mention it was used and brown.
……….. and runny.
They should face a firing squad together.
YEAH! THAT TOO!!
………. while in their weird sexual act.
HANG EM TOGETHER!
Too bad Bergdahl pleaded guilty. Had it gone to trial, Obama would have been called as defense witness number one and forced to answer questions like did you know B.B. deserted? Why did you feel the need to trade 5 top terrorist for a deserter? Did you believe these 5 terrorist would no longer commit terrorist acts?
These questions and answers would confirm Obama’s acts of treason.
We all know Obama is an illegal sodomite muslim communist traitor who gave his muslim brotherhood 440 billion dollars, where was the traitors in congress who allowed him on the ballot.
In order to ever restore the justice in this country, these traitors need a fully informed jury and face a firing squad for their Bastardly acts of treason they have been doing for yrs. There is no statue of limitations on Fraud or Treason!
A deserter and a traitor that Obama treated like a Medal of Honor winner. He should be hung, shot, castrated and fed to Barry. Both are traitors.
AMERICA FIRST
Only a Muslim fanatic considers him a hero. Which explains Obamas actions.
Hey Rummy, You said this Perfect . You Could not be Say this any better. Kudos to you.
BOBBY ~!~.
RIGHT ON ALL COUNTS!
Six soldiers died looking for him, sounds like grounds for an execution right there!
yes
Anyone else who kills six people gets labeled as a serial killer.
HE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN WWII
Him & barry should face the firing squad.
Be nice if you knew what you were writing about. I’m not about to go into the errors in this screed.
The left call for Trump’s treason but cannot identify when he di , however the list for Obama is long and they ignore it.
so right
Wish they would play that White House scene where the President had the parents of Bergdahl and he knew he was a deserter. Obama a complete jerk.
I think from his actions Obama had the hots for Bergdahl’s mother. She’s not bad looking and would be a great improvement over what he’s been sleeping with. Bergdahl deserted in the face of the enemy. During the second war, people were executed for less but since that bitch, Hanoi Jane, can get away with treason, Bergdahl will no doubt get a slap on the fingers and probably be discharged under “honorable” conditions.
I think it was the Father, who he had the hots for!
I see you and I are reading from the same page. I did not see your comment until after I had posted mine. Sorry.
Well, I suppose that could be. I know if I saw some guy all over my wife the way Obama was with Bergdahl’s mother, someone would run a good chance of getting his ass kicked.
That homosexual hasn’t looked at a pussy, he is an asshole baby, pure shit, he is so full his eyes are brown.
I wasn’t going to put it quite that way because I’m trying to be on my best behavior. But you just might have a very good point.
Or, if rumors are to be believed, his hots might have been for Bergdahl’s father– if not for the ‘dahl himself. Just sayin’.
I DON’T THINK SO! IT IS TOO BIG OF AN ITEM!!
Obama is not interested in women. What is it that make you think that Obama like females. Ask Reggie Love.
Perhaps he’s one of those two way boys. Either way, he – it really isn’t worth the ink we’re wasting on him.
Fudge packer
YEAH!
He has often let it slip too; when he called Michelle – Michael.
President Trump will go down in history as the only President that has kept or keeps his promises. This louse of an Oblunder has done nothing more than destroy our country to include making decisions that benefit his Muslim race. A traitor is normally executed on the spot, but this deceitful traitor who caused so much harm to his comrades gets a slap on the wrist by imposter Ozero. Go figure; one traitor begets another! God Bless our USA and President Trump, a true patriot who, despised by the left, continues to be the voice of us Americans.
AMEN!
AMEN!’
True, but Obama had the backing of his party. Trump doesn’t have that luxury. Instead, he has to contend with people like Mitch McConnell, John McCain, Jeff Flake and a number of others who are nothing more than a bunch of RINO traitors who’re obviously Socialist traitors the same as the so called Democrats. Drain the swamp? Your damn right!
That is an attempt to excuse all their treasonous acts, both sides of Congress continually fight against each other, they seem to forget they get $147,000 per yr to do the job they volunteered to run for, they spend less than 3 days per week in the office to do that job and spend it accusing the other party and never get anything done for the people they are supposed to be representing.
What he did seems to me indefensible, but what he has already experienced has been horrendous, & seems to me to be substantial punishment. He deserves to be convicted of desertion, but if we are at all compassionate, we would hope for a lenient sentence by the judge.
“what he has already experienced has been horrendous, & seems to me to be substantial punishment.” … Where do you get this load of tripe?? You think he was chained to a bed & kept in a cage & beaten because he says so?? There must be even more & better stories we haven’t heard yet because he hasn’t come up with them. Why not ask he who served with honor & distinction for some more BS so we can all swallow the same drivel & let him off with the MoH & another promotion??
If being captured & tortured by the Taliban is like a tea party to you, then by all means try it yourself!
Yes, I’m sure the Taliban sent reps to Washington confirm “Bowe’s” endless torture & inhumane treatment. How else would we have the details? Not like he just decided to take a walk to discuss outstanding leadership failures with the closest CO at another base, being a knowledgeable PFC & all. Of course not. Haahhahahhaa!!!!
You seem to have a high level of confidence on the Taliban’s adherence to the Geneva Conventions & civilized treatment toward their prisoners. I’d love to believe that myself, but somehow I doubt it.
Please try to wake up & understand what you are reading from me. You are making absolutely no sense with your off the wall comments. Have a fair to mediocre day. I have no more time to waste. Thanks.
niknar, the traitor said that he was treated very well, so where did you get you BS that he wasn’t.
Thanks, make an example out of traitors. Obama first, bergdahl second. Firing squad, it’s the law on the books. No feelings allowed.
I would volunteer to be the executioner
As would I, BUT only if I were allowed to verify that the round in my weapon would be one of the six live rounds involved!
THEN HITLERY, MCSHAME, AND SEVERAL OTHERS!
It’s a process, domino’s, peal away the layers. It’s much higher. Obama and the Clintons are the slave’s of greed and evil. There employed by enemy number one. Follow the money
YUP!
Who cares what “they did with his head”. He was a chicken from the get-go.
Traitor and deserter !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! “Off with his head”, is too good for him.
God, I hope they get them! “So here’s the REAL Damn story about the TREASON this prick, Obama, committed, along with his side-kick, hilLIARy……… Amb. Stevens was sent to Benghazi post haste in order to retrieve US made Stinger missiles supplied to Ansar al Sharia without Congressional oversight or permission. Hillary brokered the deal through Stevens and a private arms dealer named Marc Turi. Then some of the shoulder fired missiles ended up in Afghanistan used against our own military. It was July 25th, 2012 when a Chinook helicopter was taken down by one of our own Stingers, but the idiot Taliban didn’t arm the missile and the Chinook didn’t explode, but had to land anyway. An ordnance team recovered the serial number off the missile which led back to a cache of Stingers being kept in Qatar by the CIA. Obama and Hillary were now in full panic mode and Stevens was sent in to retrieve the rest of the Stingers. This was a “do-or-die” mission, which explains the stand down orders given to multiple commando teams. It was the State Dept, not the CIA that supplied them to our sworn enemies, because Petraeus wouldn’t supply these deadly weapons due to their potential use on commercial aircraft. Then, Obama threw Gen. Petraeus under the bus after he refused to testify that he OK’d the BS talking points about a spontaneous uprising due to a Youtube video. Obama and Hillary committed treason…and THIS is what the investigation is all about, why she had a private server, (in order to delete the digital evidence), and why Obama, two weeks after the attack, told the UN that the attack was because of a Youtube video, even though everyone knew it was not. Further…the Taliban knew that this administration aided and abetted the enemy without Congressional approval when Boehner created the Select Cmte, and the Taliban began pushing the Obama Administration for the release of 5 Taliban Generals. Bowe Bergdahl was just a pawn…everyone KNEW he was a traitor. So we have a traitor as POTUS that is not only corrupt, but compromised…and a woman that is a serial liar, perjured herself multiple times at the Hearing whom is running for POTUS. Only the Dems, with their hands out, palms up, will support her. Perhaps this is why no military aircraft was called in…because the administration knew our enemies had Stingers.”
RIGHT ON ALL COUNTS!
This traitor should get the death penalty. I’m all for bringing back the firing squad.
Please, someone tell me again how intelligent the liberals keep telling Americans this obama derelict is/was.
only ig’nate liberals believe it, and the many e/GOP RINO’s that supported and funded his agenda in Congress.
He ran the biggest criminal organization in our history which included the IRS, EPA, DOJ, Dept. of Energy and even had federal employees committing criminal acts.
I have had people tell me Obama was the greatest president we ever had, you know if you tell the same lie 3 times it’s considered to be true.
its simple ! HES A TRAITOR
So is Obama, Hillary and Susan Rice.
you forgot billie the pedophile
And Jarrett, Lynch, Comey, McCain,Mueller, and the
Lists go on,lest we forget the Liberals and the Hollyweird elite, whom the public have made rich.Jail the whole stinking bunch of garbage💩💩
CORRECT!
YEP!
The very top hand ful of famous Terrorist were released from Gito by our transparent President Sneaky Obama to release Bergdahl, who was said to have served with honor and distinction by liar and aid to Obama, Susan Rice who recently lied about unmasking of Trump associates during the election Obama tried to fix with a few million more illegals. No critics against Obama in major media, only Foxnews news exposed him. Bergdahl is just another example if the corruption and dishonesty of obama, and our propaganda media and newspapers outlets. Only a moron could believe Trump could be worst than what we lived through under Barrack Obama.
Lock them all up.
Bergdahl knew what he was doing when he left his post. Let he face he accusers and learn his fate.
Nice call Obama – you rescued this deserter for his Muslim parents by turning loose more Muslims. Quite a legacy you’ve left behind to clean up.
How about a notation to his Nobel Peace Prize?? The “Thanks for Coming Out” prize …..
Ohh – now that’s snarky. I like it.
The coward liked muslims and osama IS a mulsim; so they should share a cell.
Of course he is a traitor. His criminal act cost his fellow solders their lives.
Who is a bigger traitor then Bergdahl? Obama.
obama is just a south side Chicago negro that never had a real job in his life
when i moved from Chi-town after about 15 yrs on the SW side there was no such person as “o” living anywhere in the city. He is NOT an American, much less from Chicago, though that is what his NWO bio seems to show
the past tense of “to plead” is PLED, not plead. Now i’ll go back and read the remainder of the article….
Wait and see!
Bowe Bergdahl will get a Nobel Peace Prize for not fighting!
Obama is the traitor. The sentence for traitors is? Well you already know what it is. Bergdahl is a deserter who deserves the punishment for desertion. Obama used Bergdahl as an excuse to aid the enemy by releasing Muslim terrorists.
should face firing squad…. 6 men died searching for his ass…..1111
There is no question that Obama was, and is, a useless, racist, anti-american jackass. Every credential, was and is, questionable. Obama spent years “practicing” rhetoric to impress those who couldn’t see beyond the BS. But as he predicted in his Obamacare missive, hey, the public is stupid, they will believe anything. The liberal mantra….inundate with lies until the lies become accepted. He and other liberals continue to fleece the uninformed.
Thank the Kennedy’s for obozo
Great! He can be the cell mate of Trump when the great lard ass gets convicted of treason for colluding with the Russians to use the USA as collateral for bailing him out of bankruptcy
Dream on.
Have some more kool aide (s)
Even your favorite “news?” channel has come out and said there wasn’t collusion between Russia and Trump. You just pick and choose what you want to believe and spread as fact. And it would not have
been treason over politics and bail out for bankruptcy there would be thousands in jail.
Take a duece bag moment. Move out of your basement. Oh you cannot pay rent. Welfare addict
Ray, you are a brainless idiot. you know that it is not true and yet you are stupid enough to make that lying comment.
I am a military retiree. Bergdahl should have had charges brought against him, once he arrived back in the US. Instead, he was welcomed back as a hero, by Barrack Obama. Barrack made sure he was protected, during the remainder of his term. We have protected Bergdahl, as a paid SGT for too many years. His case should have been handled, by the Code of Conduct, that every military individual agrees to and signs to, which is Military Law. He needs to be stripped of his rank,
Incarcerated, and given a bad conduct discharge.
Then shot.
When, if ever, will obama be charged with the crimes he committed and authorized like he was a Mafia Don?
But you can call Obama a traitor and you would be completely correct.
Leniency: this man deserves as Much leniency as he gave for desertion, which led to others getting killed by searching for him, and putting others in harms way and the giving comfort/aid to the enemy! Leniency, NO! Traitors are traitors! Namely the best KNOWN Traitor; Judas Iscariot! A TRAITOR, and a betrayer! He got death!
well if you ain’t a terrorist sympathiser , criminal, or an illegal , oboma wanted nothing to do with you,and he should be treated like a nazi war criminal, for benghazi, and all his other tresonist actions ,but you can’t get any of our government agencies to bring charges against him , like hillary laws don’t apply to him
The was a man, who I am sure most of you have heard of, his name was Judas Iscariot: he was a TRAITOR and a Betrayer, and a TRAITOR of the worst kind! What happened to this Traitor should happen to that Traitor! Acts 1:18 KJV a Hanging!
Obama is anti American so this person was an excuse to release these terrorist.He just happened to be a Disgraceful deserter who had innocent soldiers killed. He deserves the firing squad.
Two of America’s biggest traitors, Bergdahl and Owebama, both should meet the same fate!!
Desertion while manning a combat post, Firing squad, if apprehended. There is where Obama went wrong. Never was so much, 5 terrorists, given for so little, one deserter. Shudder waited out the Taliban on this one. Maybe wait for the remains. Oh, wait, that Iran nuke deal fits that bill, too. I stand corrected. Is there more?
Why is this P.O.S. called a SGT, he was a Pvt when he walked away from his post?
Bergdahl will never make it out of prison.
Hopefully correct.
Bergdahl should be excuted for what he did. If that had happened in wwII, he would of been shot. Why not now. Soldiers were killed looking for the bastard.
President Obama had a COW when Bergdahl’s father greeted him with
“As Salaam Alai Kum” and his ISIS type beard!
NICE GOING President Obama!
That was a great choice and all the DEMIs applauded!
Bergdahl is a TRAITOR and should be punished like one!
Let’s give our military the respect they deserve, you sissy mary DEMIs!
Thanks to your ineptitude, Mr. Obama five Taliban Commanders are running wild and the deserter you took as payment for their freedom is likely going to prison for a long, long time! You are either an idiot trapped in the body of a genius or a genius trapped in the body of an idiot. Whichever the case your action has proved itself to be the epitome of malfeasance.
This PoS deserter should be executed, its family expelled from the US and delivered to Syria. and its bloodline ended.
IN THE OLD DAYS, BERGDAHL WOULD HAVE BEEN PLACED AGAINST THE WALL AND SHOT. BUT AS AN ITALIAN, I WOULD LIKE THE ROMAN METHOD.
QUARTER THE BASTARD. I’LL VOLUNTEER TO ‘SLAP’ THE 4 HORSES.
Army deserter – Sounds like the Orange Moron with his 5 (FIVE) deferments, doesn’t it!! Nothing like having a live COWARD in the Oval Office to greet his Russian Comrades. What would they have to discuss – Crooked Tax Returns, Illegal bank transactions and Conspiring with the Enemy to over throw America!!!!
“Served with with honor and distinction” another lie by Rice and Obama.
Am I the only one that remembers the presser where Obama AND Bergdahl’s parents were together just after they got Bergdahl home: Was not one part of it by Obama an Bergdahl’s fathers comments in Persian or Arabic? I cannot remember the exacts dialect, there are so many in the same region. Would that alone not be evidence that Obama was not who he said he was, when he allows a negotiation for a converted traitor for 5 top Taliban officers to happen. I never believed Obama to be anything but Muslim, because of the things he did versus the things that he said. IS NOT LYING TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC AND WITH THIS CASE GROUND TO CALL IT TREASON? You know the questions need to be asked because of the corruption, collusion and manner that he ran his administration – allowing foreign known Muslim Brotherhood terrorists to hold such high offices. We can’t let that go, he needs to be called out for it and prosecuted for all of his lies. Time to take Obama to Leavenworth.
I’ll drive. For free.
By releasing five terrorist sure look like Obama is a Muslem leadert
I think that one day,after several terrible terrorist attacks,that cost hundreds if not thousands of life’s, that it will come out,that the masterminds were most if not all of those five let go.The media will try to bury that news.maybe, they already have.Can’t let their beloved Ozero take any heat.
Put Bergdahl, Obama, Hillary, and Slick Willie in front of a Firing Squad, and execute them, for Treason.
It is no secret that Bergdahl thinks the Taliban treated him better than the army. A little review…when a soldier deserts his post during combat he puts his fellow soldiers in danger. Rescue attempts by more of his fellow soldiers put more in danger, and even costs some fellow soldier’s lives. This is called ‘Desertion’ and ‘Misbehavior Before the Enemy’. Most of us just call it, “Treason”. These things are cool in the eyes of the Taliban…not so much in the eyes of his fellow soldiers. Not to mention most Americans. Why is the creep surprised that the Taliban treated him better than his fellow soldiers? If the army resorted to Taliban behavior, he would have lost his head months ago. Because Bergdahl’s fellow soldiers are NOT Taliban, he was treated with respect and heroic restraint. No one gave him the well deserved “GI Blanket Party”. Bergdahl officially has given up the right to be considered a “Fellow Soldier”. Good. He is no longer a “Fellow” to any American. He can be pen-pals with the Taliban and the Obama Administration.
Obama did this on his own. He had no approval from congress to make a deal or to trade known
terrorists for anyone. Obama knew he had accepted islam and that his father was a muslim. This is the
only reason he traded . Obama knew he had walked away without leave but Obama cares nothing for the military.
Their function was to carry him and his family on vacation and shopping trips. There should be some repercussions for Obama. This is unacceptable.
This dude is a deserter. He also collaborated with the enemy. In WWII and any other time he would have been
executed by firing squad. What’s happening to justice in our country?????
