The Bergdahl Thing . . . .

[redcliffsw]

God forbid that soldiers begin to think. Independence of mind is dangerous to militaries.  Training is chiefly a means of preventing it. Infrequently a soldier has the courage to see that what he is doing is both stupid and immoral, and walk away from it.  Bowe Bergdahl did. I say, speaking as a former Marine in Viet Nam, and as a life member of both the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Disabled Veterans of America: You have my  admiration, Sergeant Bergdahl.

Since there is no draft, I have no symphathy for this kook. He could have researched every tiny detail about the military and talked to many people who have been in service recently. He chose to go. Get some spine and be a man!
Now if he turns out to have been doing something in intellegence, that's another matter.
If he really did get several soldiers killed, then he deserves every rotten thing he gets.
