Location: Broxton, Ga | Members of Sgt. Bergdahl's unit have accused him of being a deserter. Mr. Hagel noted there are no charges against Sgt. Bergdahl—and regardless, the military always seeks to free captive soldiers.
Mr. Hagel also took on critics of the Bergdahl family. Critics have in particular raised questions about Sgt. Bergdahl's father, Bob Bergdahl, who learned Pashto, a language spoken in Afghanistan and Pakistan, grew a beard, and made statements about the war in Afghanistan
"I've been offended and disappointed in how the Bergdahl family has been treated by some people," Mr. Hagel said. "No family deserves this."

Location: Broxton, Ga | Why is he being held...........
Sgt. Bergdahl is being treated by doctors at a U.S. military hospital in Germany and hasn't been available for comment.
The exchange between Hagel and one of the Committee members is rathered heated........ |

Location: Kansas | I had to go to work and couldn't watch it all but many of these WH minions think of desertion in the same context as calling in sick to work. They are also dismissive of the platoon members who are 100% sure Bergdahl deserted. Time will tell but speculation is the guy may stay in Germany for months.

| I'd like to see what happens on the local basis when one of the traded prisoners kills more americans. He (Bergdahl) will wish he was still in Afghanistan! I'm also currious to see how this affects future recruits...A comander In Chief that lacks the capasity to lead, and a military that holds no soldiers accountable. Should be interesting...

| He supposedly told his friends that he "faked" mental issues to get out. How on earth was he allowed to join the Army after that? |

Location: Peach State | I heard when they were interviewing different members of his platoon a week after he left the base they heard radio chatter of an American looking for someone that spoke English in a nearby village bc he wanted to talk to the Taliban, and it just so happened that in the weeks following him being missing that attacks on our soldiers in that area got much more precise.

************************************************************
His file had a 15.6 charges in it when he deserted and called it as such ... Obama is protecting the dirty little freaky muslim and his family all the way to the bank ....
Sure they will keep him in Germany until his brain is fried with mind control drugs and he has a code word to later do another FT Hood work place violence episode ....
Obama has shown he will take personal vengeance on any military person and kick them out if they so much as blink their eyes in his direction .... so they are letting their careers rule the oaths they took to our constitution .... NADA .. |

Location: Bastrop, Texas | I actually have a suspicion that what is happening is precisely what Obozo wants. He will never be impeached because not enough members of congress has the courage, as they fear the political backlash for persecuting our first black president. Obozo's popularity can't get much worse anyway, so he is doing what he can to minimize the damage by the midterm elections in the fall. If the Republicans take over the senate and hold the House, then his evil agenda will be doomed to exact any further damage and he will serve out his final 2 years with both houses lined up against him. I think he will continue to pull stunts like this to draw attention to him.....and even many in the media will oblige. This, he probably calculates, might draw enough attention away from Democrat incumbents and maybe protect many of them enough to win re-election. In effect, he is acting as a lightning rod, protecting the progressive scum trying to hold on to their seats. |

Cold hands and Warm Heart
Location: oklahoma | Hagle says they 'lost' berngdahl 5 times yet they released Taliban back into the world to kill again and want us to be believe that they can keep track of them? Bergdahl is probably being brainwashed so that when he is released from the German hospital, he can recite the oblammer theme. |

From a Parental POV (with Sons approaching Enlistment Age) there is much consternation and nervousness in regards to Youth making a Decision to join America's Military. |

Location: In the Hills of Texas | I just read he is being released.
Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, the only U.S. soldier held captive in Afghanistan, is scheduled to leave Germany sometime today and will arrive in Texas overnight, CBS News correspondent David Martin reports.
Officials had previously said the intention was for Bergdahl to be reunited with his family at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio.

I think you missed the word "could"........he has now been released from the hospital and is still under investigation. Now he can be required to answer question regarding his leaving the base. On another note, I heard that he has yet to speak to his parents. He never asked for them. |

That's real normal..LOL
What ticks me off is our country is now taking care of people that break our laws and giving pink slips to our men and women risking their lifes over seas. What a cluster.

Location: Adopt a homeless pet - www.petfinder.com! | My husband was a paralegal in the Air Force and worked military justice. Just because Bergdalh he has yet to be charged doesn't mean he won't. I heard he was going back to work which means they will probably have him working a $hit job while they are preparing the case against him. At least he'll be working and not just sitting somewhere collecting a check. |
