Bergdahl1-e1427306712825Wow…Bowe Bergdahl is actually going to be charged with Treason and Misbehaving in front of the enemy. For those who don’t remember his name, Bergdahl was the Soldier who abandoned his post, was ‘captured’ (cough, cough)…by Taliban-aligned Haqqani network in Afghanistan , the traded by the Obama Administration for 5 Taliban Terrorists.

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 1st Class Morris Walker
  • Staff Sergeant Kurt Curtiss
  • 2nd Lieutenant Darryn Andrews
  • Staff Sergeant Michael Murphrey,
  •  Private 1st 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!…

As I read Kevin Doherty’s questions for vetting security companies, I felt compelled to add some additional commentary.  It is important to really do your due diligence on the principals of security companies.  It is the leadership that will define the ethics, and attitude of the organization.  If the owner is prone to dishonesty or misrepresentations then the staff is likely to follow their lead.  Unfortunately, in the high risk world of maritime security (and other security) the fallout can cost more than money. In a very real sense, lives can be lost.
