(DESERTER/TRAITOR) Bowe Bergdahl “traded” by Taliban (UPDATED x2) May 31, 2014

UPDATED..I have read numerous reports and claims and talked to numerous individuals.  Nothing pains me more than to write that one of our own is a deserter and traitor.  Out of respect for those who served with Bergdahl and, more importantly, those who DIED  searching for Bergdahl, I am updating this post.  I truly believe that Bergdahl left his post intentionally thereby deserting his post and intended to join the the enemy.   Unfortunately, 6 brave soldiers died searching for this traitor.   This post is now a tribute to those brave soldiers…..Rest Easy Brave Soldiers…rest easy…

• Staff Sergeant Clayton Bowen,
• Private 1^st Class Morris Walker
• Staff Sergeant Kurt Curtiss
• 2nd Lieutenant Darryn Andrews
• Staff Sergeant Michael Murphrey,
•  Private 1^st Class Matthew Martinek

The more information that comes out about Bergdahl, the more it appears (to me, anyhow) that he deserted and 5 (or more) soldiers were killed in the search for him.  5 Taliban commanders were traded for his release.  I am going to await further information before removing this post.  Until them, I am grateful an American soldier is home. Today marks a great day.  A Prisoner of War who was captured by the Taliban and held for 5 years has been released in exchange for 5 Taliban prisoners held at Gitmo.  You can read the story here.    Glad to have Sgt. Bergdahl coming back home!…
