Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Bergdahl “called his unit the day after he deserted to tell his unit he deserted”

Jun 3, 2014 9:53 am By Robert Spencer

From Gateway Pundit:

Colonel David Hunt told Bill O’Reilly tonight that Bowe Bergdahl was a deserter.

“Bowe Bergdahl was a deserter. Bergdahl on June 20, 2009 crawled underneath a wire at his fire base with water, food, a change of clothes, a knife and a cell phone. He called his unit the day after he deserted to tell his unit he deserted… Bill, we lost 14 soldiers, killed, searching for a deserter. He left his unit in combat. It’s non-arguable… We don’t know yet if he joined the Taliban or not. But, there’s no question he deserted.”

    He deserted to “FOLLOW YOUR CONSCIENCE”–per his dad–on a quixotic–idiotic–quest to “help the Afghan people.”

    It all makes sense now as to why the Muslim president “negotiated” his return.

      I will concede that the pieces fall in place but it does not make sense in the normal sense of the phrase.

    Bergdahl “called his unit the day after he deserted to tell his unit he deserted”
    ………………………………………

    If Colonel Hunt is accurate here—and he sounds very certain—then this is the smoking gun.

    Also, you don’t just go AWOL in country—so while this doesn’t spell it out, it certainly sounds as though he intended to join the enemy. Good God.

    Supplementary.

    “Revealed: Bowe Bergdahl left letter telling comrades at Afghan base he was ‘leaving to start new life and didn’t want to fight for America’ as Army announces he DOES face desertion charges.

    “Sgt Bowe Bergdahl left a note for his comrades in which he said he did not want to fight for America any more and was leaving to start a new life.
    “Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff today said ‘it’s premature’ to think there will be no charges against Bergdahl.
    “Will put Obama under more pressure after Susan Rice said he served with ‘honor and distinction’ and freed five Taliban commanders.
    “Former comrade who was there when Bergdahl disappeared five years ago broke a military gagging order to speak to MailOnline.
    “He said: ‘As far as I’m concerned Bergdahl deserted his men and should face the firing squad.’
    “‘Everyone looked at me like I was crazy but I was right, he had walked off.’”

    How the hell did he “call” his unit? It’s not like Afghanistan has 411…
    “Afghan information. How may I help you?”
    “um, can you give me the ROSHAN for the TOC to the 501st there in the Dirka Dirka province?”
    “hold for that number. would you like me to connect you for an additonal 430 afghani?”
    “yes, please”

      Cell phone. Likely a Sat phone or the Corp of Engineers have set up mobile cell towers.

      Do you read before you leap onto your keyboard? It says he had a cell phone.
