Ever since Barack Obama traded five extremely dangerous terrorists for Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, the story has reeked of the same political strategy employed by the administration to protect the president’s ratings after the Benghazi attack.
The move was a blatant disregard of official U.S. policy, but Obama and illegal activities seem to go together like peanut butter and chocolate, so the act was hardly shocking.
As more facts come to the surface, the circumstances surrounding this deal keep getting stranger. After Bergdahl’s release, his father took to Twitter where he made some odd statements about Islam that he later removed.
Furthermore, Bergdahl stated in a video shortly after his capture that he had been lagging behind during his patrol, which is when he was captured. However, this seems to conflict with reports from anonymous military sources that say Sgt. Bergdahl abandoned his post.
Now soldiers in the military have come forward saying they were threatened with legal action if they spoke out or questioned anything involving Bergdahl’s disappearance or rescue efforts made to reclaim him.
“Not only has this nebulous non-story been put out for years but you know these soldiers of 4th Brigade 25th Infantry Division were threatened with legal repercussions if they spoke about Bergdahl. Everybody officially mandated silencing of what we saw has been so frustrating,” Bethea explained on BBC World Service Radio today.
Bethea served in Sgt. Bergdahl’s unit, and was an infantry officer in the U.S. Army from 2007 to 2014
CNN’s Jake Tapper also reported that many of Bergdahl’s fellow troops signed nondisclosure agreements agreeing to never share any information about Bergdahl’s disappearance and the efforts to recapture him.
Bethea explained that now he was safe, more soldiers would be trying to tell the truth of his disappearance.
BBC interviewed Bethea after he wrote an article for the Daily Beast, asserting that Bergdahl was a deserter.
“He is safe, and now it is time to speak the truth,” he wrote. “And that the truth is: Bergdahl was a deserter, and soldiers from his own unit died trying to track him down.”
