Army Pfc. Bowe Bergdahl broke his silence about leaving his base in Afghanistan to NPR’s popular “Serial” podcast. In it, he claims he deserted his unit “to highlight poor leadership” and rapidly realized he was “in over his head.”

“Doing what I did is me saying that I am like, I don’t know, Jason Bourne. I had this fantastic idea that I was going to prove to the world that I was the real thing,” he stated. “You know, that I could be what it is that all those guys out there that go to the movies and watch those movies, they all want to be that, but I wanted to prove that I was that.”

He claimed he fled his unit in order to “create a DUSTWUN – a radio signal that stands for ‘Duty Status Whereabouts Unknown’ – to highlight poor leadership within his unit.” Bergdahl knew his disappearance would cause a “hurricane of wrath” and a manhunt. He immediately realized he was “in over his head,” changed plans, and become Bourne-like by collecting “intelligence and look for the Taliban before turning himself in as a way of limiting the amount of trouble he faced.”

“And what I was seeing, from my first unit all the way up into Afghanistan, all I was seeing was, basically, leadership failure, to the point that the lives of the guys standing next to me were, literally, from what I could see, in danger of something seriously going wrong and somebody being killed,” he insisted.

Bergdahl said the Taliban captured him after he was lost. Between six and seven men with AK-47s approached him on motorcycles in the desert, taking him as a prisoner of war for five years.

Wow.  That sounds like a load of crap.  Sounds like an excuse he thought sounds better than saying he sympathized with his Muslim enemies.

I have reservations about saying this...but it seems like if the Taliban executed this fuckwad...our current problem today would be solved.  

He will never face any punishment other than a minor slap on the hand due to him being a liberal with a muslim influenced family.....he has the get out of jail free card.

I do wonder what will happen to him years from now when his guard is down.....I do feel he may be "accident" prone in the years to come...not a threat...just making an observation.

Pretty much everyone who knew him prior to this seemed to have thought he was one weird dude. After more then 5 years obviously he is going to have made up something to try to keep himself out of jail. I would have been surprised if he just came out and said he deserted.

Not a goodbye letter, more or less a letter to his parents on how he thinks America is a horrible country.

“The future is too good to waste on lies,” Bergdahl wrote his parents. “And life is way too short to care for the damnation of others, as well as to spend helping fools with their ideas that are wrong. I have seen their ideas and I am ashamed to even be American. The horror of the self-righteous arrogance that they thrive in. It is all revolting.”

Article 32 hearing.  It's like a grand jury, with a senior officer hearing evidence (advised by the command judge advocate) and determining whether there is sufficient evidence to go forward on a court martial.




Normally, the Article 32  investigating officer recommends court martial, just in case he misses something.
