When he got there, he was shocked to find that the Army was there to kill people and blow shit up, and he found himself in an undisciplined unit in disarray.
So, he flaked out and got captured by the enemy.
And according to the sadistic wingnutz, this all somehow means he should be left behind to be starved and tortured to death by the Taliban, because we don't negotiate with "terrorists" as we would in any other POW situation, even though we call this the "War on Terror".
If there's evidence he deserted, charge him with desertion.
But that doesn't mean he gets left behind to die at the hands of our enemies.
WTF is wrong with you people?
The question seems more what the heck is wrong with you?
"Once deployed to Afghanistan, he appeared to become disillusioned about the U.S. military mission there. In his final e-mail to his parents before his capture, he wrote, “I am ashamed to even be an American,” Rolling Stone reported."
From the far left Reuters:

Then there is this.... These men were HAND PICKED by the Taliban.
No matter how you frame it, Bergdahl was a member of the U.S. military who ended up a prisoner of the Taliban.
As for the 5 Muslims swapped for Bergdahl, the reason these guys have spent more than a decade at Guantanamo is they were tortured after having been captured and accordingly, couldn't be found guilty if tried in a U.S. court.
How important is this issue? The fate of Bergdahl and these five terrorists won't change the cost of a cup of coffee, or our gas price at the pump.
The issues do, however, provide yet another talking point for racists like Herr Markle to belabor our black President.
Its very important. these particular men were chosen by the Taliban, not picked by us.
THE TALIBAN DETAINEES RELEASED SATURDAY FROM GUANTANAMO

and this bowe fella is a traitor, he deserted in a time of war and other people died trying to search for him. he is not a hero. How is he worth 5 of the most violent islamist in Gitmo? He is not, something is wrong with this picture.
