| Afghan War POW Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl |
From Denny: Well, blabbermouth Fox "News" is drooling at the prospect of destroying a recently returned POW - and they are doing it with malicious glee. Fox News has always had the reputation as Swift Boaters, quick to lie about others, when an accounting of all of the facts proves them inaccurate time and again. Their military "sources" - read that as pals who are partners in crime - at the Pentagon planted this story with Fox "News" of how the Pentagon wants to charge POW Bergdahl with desertion.
You see, according to Fox "News" the Pentagon sees this as a "win-win." The Pentagon got it in their little pointed heads that if they send out a retired military guy to spout their stupidity that it doesn't really count against them. Seriously? What drugs are these guys taking that so badly clouds good judgment?
The Pentagon political animals know they can only plant stories as trial balloons with Fox "News" because any other responsible news agency or network would start with the barrage of questions to flesh out the story in its entirety. The Pentagon knows Fox "News" doesn't have any allegiance to compassion for POW Bergdahl - or the Truth.
Of course, Rupert Murdock, owner of Fox "News," is known for lying and stirring the pot to promote yet more lies to get market share derived from the manufactured controversy. Like any yellow "journalism" tabloid owner Murdock knows if he tells the lies often enough and loudly enough, eventually the mainstream media will pick up his manufactured story, achieving what Murdock wanted all along: big profits.
Murdock and the fools that follow after him to do his bidding really don't care about how many lives they destroy along the way. For them character assassination is their daily stock and trade. Obviously, they treat harming others like it's a malicious extreme sport. Tabloid "reporters" are the bullies in the news services...

So, then CNN jumps on the Liars Bandwagon, hoping they too will get more attention, and, therefore, greater market share in the country, yes, profits. CNN News has really come down in the world. There was a time when they were a stellar news service, known for their 24 hour streaming news when it was a new style of news production. But, oh, how CNN has hired all the wrong people as news producers over the years, utilizing character assassination at every turn instead of quality news reporting. It's sad to see them the ridicule of the comedians, but, hey! they created this tabloid persona to imitate Fox "News" so it's up to CNN to figure out how to get back to respectability. Stepping on the face of a returned Afghan War Prisoner of War is certainly not the best way to achieve redemption.
What is the Pentagon leadership hoping to achieve by taking apart and destroying a just returned POW? Why are they so malicious, lacking in compassion? Why is the Pentagon making such stupid choices that will end up backfiring in their nasty faces? Why is the Pentagon choosing to be the bully here?
To hear the Pentagon tell the story they think it's a stellar idea to grind this POW's face in the ground to prove their point about desertion. They say they think it's a "win-win" to stem desertions. Really? Who is really winning anything here? Over 8,000 soldiers deserted during the Afghan War on the U. S. side and there was never a peep out of this Pentagon leadership - for years - of how they wanted to destroy those POWs like they are doing to Bergdahl.
The Pentagon spent many months investigating Bergdahl's story and the accusers in his platoon. Obviously, those investigators found out things they didn't like so they wanted to cover it up. Being the typical Army, like the Army has done to individuals for decades, decided to make someone the "fall guy" to help them cover up what they consider far more damaging to the military's reputation in the public's eye. In short, the Army is willing to destroy the life of one shattered man to make themselves look good. Well, Good Ol' Boys Network, it doesn't make you look good. In fact, you look like you vomited all over yourselves and it's so thick you can't peel it off even after it's dried.
To this day POW Bergdahl rejects he is a deserter. What it looks like happened is this: Bergdahl witnessed one or more war crimes by his entire platoon or some of his platoon, perhaps the killing of Afghan children. Perhaps it was the oh, too common rape rallies of local Afghan women. Perhaps Bergdahl refused to participate. Perhaps Bergdahl made the mistake of saying he would report them and that sealed his fate of which the platoon drove him out of camp.
Bergdahl was found by the enemy without a weapon, no food, with just a small amount of water in his possession, walking in circles, angrily gesturing to himself like people do when they have experienced a huge fight and lost the argument. Clearly, Bergdahl was the loser and was pushed out of the group because he would not go along with the group decision to cover up their war crimes.
Can you imagine how that platoon reacted when they found out Bergdahl was alive after they drove him out, surviving five years in enemy imprisonment? Yes, they were terrified that Bergdahl would tell the whole truth and get them prosecuted, so, they chose the obvious: they were the first to accuse Bergdahl, hoping it would be enough to keep them out of jail.
But there are serious problems with the stories of Bergdahl's accusers just like the Swift Boaters who went after Sen. John Kerry when he ran for President. They were later completely discredited. Yet the Pentagon does not offer Bergdahl this courtesy of telling the whole truth.
When a soldier deserts, do you think he runs away from the enemy fire or toward it?
Bergdahl ran into enemy fire, not away from it. When a soldier deserts, wouldn't he think to take as much food, water, weapons and ammunition to make it back to his side's safe zone? Bergdahl was unarmed, no food, no extra ammunition, with only a small amount of water. How Bergdahl was found by the enemy was typical of what happens when someone is sent out into the desert - or the face of enemy fire - to die.
That platoon thought their problem of discovery for war crimes was solved when they sent Bergdahl out to die, only for this POW surviver to come back to haunt them five years later.

Wouldn't you think the Pentagon would have taken the smarter way out to lay to rest this entire ugly war story? Their weird decision to charge him with desertion is downright bizarre in the face of all the facts.
The only plausible explanation as to why the Pentagon is taking this course of political posturing is because they found out evidence of war crimes by the platoon and did not want to resurrect it because of tensions in Afghanistan and the Middle East.
But more pointedly, they really didn't like how badly it reflected upon the Army. That is the real reason.
They decided to compound the problem by hanging a lie around the neck of Bergdahl for the rest of his life, encouraging continued death threats against him and his family for the perception, yes, lies, they are promoting.
The Army refuses to make the report public.
Being the Army, they were quietly hoping that Bergdahl would commit suicide, helping them keep the lie alive. If not suicide, the Pentagon leadership figures that Bergdahl doesn't have the courage to challenge the desertion charge and go to court. What is there about surviving five years as a POW these clueless Pentagon "leaders" do not understand?? That's how the Pentagon believes this is a win-win for them. Well, it certainly isn't a win for Bergdahl, forced to live with disgrace when he was not the one who behaved so dishonorably.
What the Pentagon should do is forget all about prosecution because it looks heavy-handed to the American public. To prosecute Bergdahl looks like bullying and piling on when they could have chosen the wiser path.
It's time to honorably discharge this brave POW whose only "crime" is that he survived to tell the whole Truth about himself as well as his platoon.
You know the old proverb: "God always leaves behind and protects one witness to tell what really happened." It's also honorable to give Sgt. Bergdahl his $300,000 in back pay for those five years in an Afghan hell hole.
Oh, and while we are at it, it's past due time that President Obama clean house at the Pentagon for a loss in public confidence of their awful brand of "leadership."
These Pentagon skunks that like to dance on the heads of the common soldier to advance their Liars' Agenda have to go, preferably dishonorably discharged so they are no longer qualified to received those annual $200,000+ pensions and free health care plans they clearly don't deserve.
Word up to the Pentagon: unwind this political mess.
Now hear this Pentagon fools: Do not delay any longer to do what is truly honorable, something clearly this Pentagon leadership lost touch with a very long time ago. The blowback on this will be a storm you cannot stop and it will be your heads that will roll.
