At PJ Media today I make the case for Bowe Bergdahl to be tried for treason:
It is well established now that Bowe Bergdahl, the Army sergeant for whom Barack Obama traded five top Taliban jihad commanders to get him out of captivity in Afghanistan, is a deserter. But there are also numerous indications that Bergdahl is something even worse: a traitor to the United States of America….
3. His email to his father.
Just days before he left his unit, Bergdahl wrote to his father in somewhat less than patriotic terms: “I am sorry for everything here. These people need help, yet what they get is the most conceited country in the world telling them that they are nothing and that they are stupid.” He declared: “I am ashamed to be an American. And the title of US soldier is just the lie of fools. I am sorry for everything. The horror that is America is disgusting.”
His father responded: “OBEY YOUR CONSCIENCE!” Bergdahl apparently did by deserting and seeking out the Taliban.
2. The note he left behind.
Fox News reported Tuesday that according to “sources who had debriefed two former members of Bergdahl’s unit,” the deserter “left behind a note the night he left base in which he expressed disillusionment with the Army and being an American and suggested that he wanted to renounce his American citizenship and go find the Taliban.”
1. His conversion to Islam and self-description as a “mujahid.”
The Taliban claimed in 2010 that Bergdahl had converted to Islam and was teaching its jihadists how to make bombs. There is no reason to take anything that Taliban spokesmen say at face value, but secret documents revealed Thursday afternoon corroborate the claim. According to one of these documents, dated August 23, 2012, “conditions for Bergdahl have greatly relaxed since the time of the escape. Bergdahl has converted to Islam and now describes himself as a mujahid. Bergdahl enjoys a modicum of freedom, and engages in target practice with the local mujahedeen, firing AK47s. Bergdahl is even allowed to carry a loaded gun on occasion. Bergdahl plays soccer with his guards and bounds around the pitch like a mad man. He appears to be well and happy, and has a noticeable habit of laughing frequently and saying ‘Salaam’ repeatedly.”
Why has none of this been known until now? These secret documents have just been revealed, and Bergdahl’s fellow American soldiers have just been released from a gag order that threatened them with legal action if they spoke about Bergdahl’s desertion. Why the cover-up? Did the Obama administration want to spare itself the embarrassment, after Fort Hood jihad mass murderer Major Nidal Hasan and his would-be imitator, Pfc. Naser Abdo, of yet another Muslim soldier turning traitor?
The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Martin Dempsey, has said that “it’s premature” to assume that Bergdahl will not be investigated. Still, although it would be the just and proper thing to investigate Bergdahl for both desertion and treason, it does seem unlikely that he will be investigated for either. Such an investigation would embarrass the Obama administration even more than it has been already and the mainstream media will do all it can to make sure that such humiliation is kept to an absolute minimum. John Boehner, for his part, will just burst into tears and give Obama whatever he wants.
To investigate, much less to try Bowe Bergdahl, despite the fact that evidence of his misconduct continues to mount, would require an honest president, a robust opposition party, and a media determined to uncover the truth. Strike one, strike two, strike three.
Read the rest here.
John C. Barile says
Time, the progression of events, and dogged pursuit of the facts will bring the truth to light.
logdon says
As in Benghazi?
John C. Barile says
Yes, the truth will out.
Shane says
Perhaps, or they may declare him to be mentally unfit for trial. Bergdahls’s attitude about the USA and our military are typical among liberals in our country. I’m surprised that he joined our military. Is he gay?
Kepha says
A link I found on the Bergdahl family’s connections:
http://theaquilareport.com/bowe-bergdahls-former-pastor-shares-his-personal-reflections-on-the-recent-events/
Wellington says
Thanks for that link, Kepha. I read what the pastor had to say and it came across to me as sophisticated gibberish and excuse-making. I was not moved.
Men died because of Bergdahl. That’s a far more important bottom line than anything this pastor conveyed. And if Bergdahl’s parents are still committed to Christ, as this pastor alleges, it’s not the kind of Christianity that is worthwhile, that is admirable, that is sapient, that preserves civilization rather than harming it.
Kepha says
Of course Bergdahl has made his bed and must lie in it, however things turn out. I, however, was intrigued about his family and background. As for his father’s behavior, I have seen the same kind of naive “I can do diplomacy myself” sort of attitude from Americans of all kinds of educations and backgrounds–albeit more often from Leftist post-Christians and Qaukerish sorts rather than from orthodox Reformed folk. And could the Bargdahl’s have had an inappropriate reaction to officialdom’s “Loose lips sink ships (so trust us)” approach to its own negotiations? It’s something I’ve heard from relatives of Americans in trouble abroad over lesser issues (dealing with a foreign officialdom, even when it is generally well-disposed towards the USA, is not always easy, and our diplomats don’t want to make the other side more and more recalcitrant over an issue). As for their pastor, I see him simply doing his job as part of the emotional support structure.
Last of all, learning Chinese made neither a supporter of dictatorship nor a Mahayana Buddhist out of me (far from it), and my guess is that having learned Pashto, the elder Bergdahl will not necessarily become a Muslim.
As for the family’s critical stance towards the US government, I’ve long been aware of the erosion of trust between state and people in the USA, and been very bothered by it.
Tradewinds says
Bergdahl’s father IS a Muslim. A convert.

…………………………..
In and of itself this might well be the case, Kepha. But Bob Bergdahl also intoned “bismillah-al-rahman-al-rahim” at the press conference where he appeared with President Obama—“in the name of Allah the most gracious, the most merciful”.
This is, of course, a *Muslim prayer* in Arabic. It’s really hard to imagine how any *non-Muslim* would quote these words in such a context.
He also Tweeted:
“I am still working to free all Guantanamo prisoners. God will repay for the death of every afghan child, amen!”
And he did this *after* Bowe Bergdahl had been released, so one cannot even claim that this was just pandering to his son’s captors in the hope that they would release him.
You can see the video and analysis from Walid Shoebat here:
“Father Of Soldier Who Obama Released Declares Muslim Victory Call”

Bill says
The kind of Christianity that is ok with Islam is called apostate. The kind of Christianity that sees Islam as a benign force or somehow nonthreatening is called stupid and self-destructive.
Kathleen Ball says
If his father is a Christian, why did he praise allah at the White House?
PGuud says
And we’re to believe that the pastor hasn’t been duped?
I myself might be willing to give the Bergdahls the benefit of the doubt if and only if they, collectively, go on the offensive against Islam in writing and spoken word–nothing short of the entire family railing against that vile false religion and its slimy false prophet. Until then, there is good reason to distrust them.
Islam: where freedom ends and slavery begins.
BC says
I was listening to a speech of Hitler’s just now about the need for obedience and was reminded again of the remarkable similarities between Nazism and Islam
The Nazis of course. Obey the state and its messianic leader and die that Germany may rule supreme.
Substitute Allah and Mohammad and it is the same. ethos. Surrender all your freedom and your life as demanded.
Shane says
If the father is such a good Christian, then why is he praising Allah? Allah is the God of War of the Religion of War. Allah is not the God of the Jews and Christians
voegelinian says
After the Rose Garden ceremony, you can bet the Bergdahls piled into their Saudi-gassed SUV with a “COEXIST” bumper sticker sandwiched between “Obama ’08”, “Jesus Was a Liberal”, “Yes We Can”, “Amend the 2nd Amendment”, and “Breathe.”
voegelinian says
Oh, and on the side, a “Reduce Your Carbon Footprint”.
Jay Boo says
Someone should have warned Bowe Bergdahl that the coexist version of Islam that airs in the US on liberal talk shows and in the tainted pulpits of dimwitted clergy is not the same version of Islam practiced in Muslim majority countries.
gravenimage says
Jay Boo, Bergdahl went off to join *the Taliban*—I’m not sure we can imagine that he had some “kumbaya” vision of Islam.
After all, it’s not as though he went off and joined some local Mosque with a Taqiyya-spouting Imam who holds regular “interfaith outreach” for the credulous Kuffar.
Even the willfully clueless sorts who natter on about Islam being “a religion of peace” understand that the Taliban are “violent extremists”—even if they don’t understand that this is mainstream Islam.
voegelinian says
Yes; Bergdahl willfully joined up with the Tiny Minority of Extremists. He thus underwent the final stage of Leftist Evolution, crossing over to the dark side (others before him: Yvonne Ridley, Adam Gadahn, Johnny Walker, Lynn Stewart (whose prison sentence, by the way, was commuted by Obama’s Attorney General, Eric Holder), Carlos the Jackal; and others).
EYESOPEN says
Everyone keeps referring to this… individual as “sergeant”. He was NOT a sergeant when he decided to abandon his post to seek out the taliban. Some idiot at the pentagon – probably at OBummer’s behest – bumped him up two grades in rank for his 5 years as a “POW”. I think that was exceedingly premature. The pentagon people MUST have known about the intelligence reports that were gathered on him…
ItsJo says
I agree with your post, about Bob being “bumped up to Sgt” while prisoner-I think Obama saw a way “to trade Him for HIS Muslim Brotherhood Terrorists”, and further, IMO, that is Exactly the same thing that happened with Obama at the behest of Morsi of Egypt-who Demanded that Obama RELEASE the Blind Sheik held in N.Y. ‘s FIRST World Trade Center bombing- Obama would have NO difficulty, in doing the Same Thing, as I think this is what Benghazi was all about-“A Possible kidnapping of Amb.Stevens, THAT WENT TERRIBLY WRONG, and Obama (had it gone right) would have TRADED Amb.Stevens FOR the return
of the Blind Sheik, that Egypt’t Morsi was Demanding. Obama is a Sneak, Liar and he continues to “send arms and OUR tax dollars to HIS Muslim Brotherhood
Terrorists that are taking over the M.E. AND Killing Christians World Wide.”
Notice, that Obama is SILENT on the Killing of Christians by HIS M.B, and HIS Silence is deafening. But from Malaysia, he weighed in on the “Racist Rants of the Clippers owner(old white guy) Sterling.” Just as he did for Trayvon Martin.
Roxane says
Desertion during a time of war is a death penalty offense in the US military. Deserting is enough for him to be sentenced to death. The last soldier executed for desertion was Pvt Slovik who was executed by firing squad during World War 2.
BC says
Obama referred to the tradition ‘leave no man behind’ as going back the beginning of their nation. Not sure how true that is, but the tradition of executing traitors and turncoats is at certainly much older.
voegelinian says
Actually, Diana West points out that thousands of American soldiers were willfully left behind in past wars — by FDR brownnosing Stalin’s graces; later, after the Korean War, then Vietnam, and during the Cold War in general:
“…as many as 2,000 Americans were left behind after the Vietnam War, 5,000 to 8,000 after the Korean War, 1,000 throughout the Cold War, and, staggeringly, between 15,000 and 20,000 after World War II. ”

Jay Boo says
Obama is a genius.
Whether Bergdahl is a conniving traitor or a confused deserter its is a win-win for Obama.
Here is why.
TIMING & Diversion ( It all links together)
Obama has a potentially bigger conspiracy problem.
1 The MSM has played out all its cards on putting all the blame of Boko Haram on Goodluck Johnathan.
2 Boko Haram was reenergized at the same time Hillary was denying it was a terrorist organization and helping to flood shiploads of weapons into Libya and indirectly into northern Nigeria.
3 Which begs the question why was our ambassador killed in Benghazi and why did Hillary and Obama have to do a cover up.
Jay Boo says
Obama and Hillary are much worse traitors than ‘Bird dog’
Davegreybeard says
Obama is no “genius.”
He is the quintessential anti-American.
He was raised to oppose American values, from his anti-American mother, to his Muslim “fathers,” to the Marxist grandparents who eventuallyraised him. From Richard Allen Davis to Reverend Wright, to the anti-American terrorist Bill Ayers, Obama has been taught that America is “The Great Satan.” He believes this. His purpose is to diminish, cripple, and if possible, slay this dragon that he has been taught to hate his entire life.
Obama’s latest outrage, in releasing the five most dangerous terrorists, the ones most likely to kill more Americans, is just another Obama attack on the America he hates.
He is no genius; this is just more of the same, Obama Jihad against America.
Expect more soon.
Get the popcorn.
WVinMN says
The no-good SOB has been bound and determined to shut down GITMO before he was elected president, so he used the “we never leave a soldier behind” BS as a pretext to releasing 5 of the worst mass murderers that were being detained at the facility. Five more down, many more to be sprung. If Obama can’t shut down GITMO, well damn’t, he will simply empty the place!
gravenimage says
Agreed, Dave. I knew that as bad as Obama was in his first term that he would be far worse if he won a second term and no longer had to worry about appearing even plausibly patriotic.
BC says
What evidence do you have that HC was flooding ‘shiploads of weapons’? I think the evidence is clear that the Libyans had plenty of weapons which they ‘liberated’ from Gaddafi’s arsenals.
Jay Boo says
It was widely reported at the time
Here is just one of many links to the Qatar / White House connection.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2610598/Group-US-switched-sides-War-Terror-facilitating-500-MILLION-weapons-deliveries-Libyan-al-Qaeda-militias-leading-Benghazi-attack.html
(“What difference does it make”) Hillary now has no choice but to run for office even though Republicans will bring up the Benghazi scandal she can play it off as partisan politics.
We should soon expect Diane Sawyer to do a hyped up “Hard Hitting” interview with Hillary about Benghazi to serve as a counter pre-emptive strike at ‘getting ahead of the message’ in order to white-wash the details into oblivion and serve as a segue to the retort “Haven’t we heard enough about this already?”
Jay Boo says
note I forgot to add Hillary can play Benghazi off as partisan politics assuming the willfully ignorant Democrats fearing a loss to Republicans will be motivated to come to her defense regardless of the truth and this will impede any serious inquiry into all the sordid details.
John C. Barile says
Has anyone shared news of this to Robert, Jay Boo?–this is just so damning, so credible a explanation of otherwise inexplicable events!
ItsJo says
I think the coverup by Obama AND Hillary in Benghazi is NOT exposed YET-
IMO, it could be that:
1. It was a “kidnapping of Amb.Stevens that went terribly Wrong”, and the intention was possibly to TRADE the kidnapped Stevens for the “Blind Sheik that blew up the FIRST World Trade Center and it was Morsi of Egypt, that WAS DEMANDING HIS RELEASE FROM OBAMA. IF Obama had the Kidnapped Stevens
he could have “made another trade that Morsi wanted, for the Sheik.
2. Amb.Stevens was IN ON what Obama, Hillary, etal. WERE doing in Benghazi, which was “aiding and abetting Our enemies-Obama’s Muslim Brotherhood” as he was sending them Arms THROUGH Turkey, into Syria in their fight against Assad. Remember it was BOTH Obama AND Hillary who made the statement:
“Assad HAS TO GO.” The SAME way they killed Quadaffi, and inserted the M.B. in Libya that has fallen into complete Chaos. Obama did the SAME thing with Egypt, when he was instrumental in OUSTING Mubarak, and putting in Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood. Morsi, became MORE of a Dictator and the people of Egypt REJECTED him, and Made their feelings known about What Obama did to them, and they carried signs, denouncing him and they said he “Should be charged with Crimes Against Humanity.”
3. Amb.Stevens may NOT have known about Obama & Hillary’s Plan, and they just IGNORED his requests for Additional Security that went on for the prior months, which makes them BOTH Derelict in their Duties, ESPECIALLY when the 9/11 Anniversary was coming up, and we know HOW Muslims LOVE TO KILL MORE Americans on 9/11 dates, and Hillary, Rice, Obama-who told them what excuses to use, went on TV to make the “fault of the attack some stupid video-that most people didn’t even see-and they sent the producer to Jail, so he wouldn’t be able to say otherwise, as Obama went on his merry way, the VERY next DAY to campaign in Las Vegas. Nothing, was going to interfere with HIS Campaigning, that is, until FOUR Americans WERE KILLED, that HE LIED ABOUT, and got the others involved to “Read Off The SAME sheet, with the Faux Story.”
mortimer says
Bergdahl will be given a fair trial and end in military prison.
WVinMN says
Bergdahl will face no such trial, he will receive 300+ K in back pay and likely join a mosque preaching death to America.
Jay Boo says
If Fort Hood was called “workplace violence”
what will the White House call desertion a temporary leave of absence?
ItsJo says
Obama will call it whatever he wants, as he attained HIS Goal, of Releasing ‘Five of HIS Muslim Terrorist Brothers’ and USED this possible deserter as the Pawn.’
Obama had Morsi of Egypt DEMANDING that he Release the Blind Sheik who is charged in the FIRST World Trade Center Bombing, and Benghazi MAY have been in the works, for the kidnapping of Amb.Stevens (that went terribly Wrong) in RETURN FOR THE SHEIK.
Sounds similar, doesn’t it?
Don’t underestimate ANYTHING by Obama, as he thinks ‘HE IS ABOVE OUR LAWS, AND CAN DO WHATEVER HE WISHES, AS HE HAS. WITH THIS LATEST STUNT WITH RELEASEING 5 TERRORISTS COMMANDERS, AND SENDS THEM TO “HIS KING OF SAUDI ARABIA, THAT HE BOWS TO.”
These mad dogs should have STAYED in Gitmo, so they couldn’t KILL MORE AMERICANS.
duh_swami says
Rasulullah Obama has resupplied the enemy with living WMD. Just how many dead Americans, and probably others, is this Bowe character worth? We know there is no minimum, is there a maximum?
Rasool Obama, a stealth jihadist, has turned the WH into a mosque from which to launch attacks against the enemies of Allah. This is the stuff high treason is made of.
ItsJo says
True post. You’d THINK, that those like Lindsey Graham, would have made THIS
latest “Obama Rogue Move” the ONE that would start impeachment proceedings, and NOT say: “the next time he does this, WELL…..that’s going to be it….What, Like Obama, Graham is Moving That RED LINE?
If Nixon was accused of using the IRS, etc. to inflict damages against HIS perceived enemies, hasn’t Obama done THAT, and MUCH, Much MORE and proceedings should have been started by now….and CERTAINLY, by this releasing of OUR Enemies, that you KNOW, are going to want to KILL MORE Americans?
They are allowing Obama to do whatever he wants in ‘bypassing the Congress, including using Intel Agencies to “Punish his enemies(and reward our friends) as HE said. Just WHAT would Obama have to DO, for Congress to GROW A PAIR,
and STOP THIS DICTATOR, WHO IGNORES THEM, OUR CONSTITUTION AND OUR
BILL OF RIGHTS?
WASN’T THE VA, THE LATEST SCANDAL OF OBAMA’S THAT GOT PUSHED “OFF THE FRONT BURNER, FOR THIS “RELEASE OF 5 TERRORIST COMMANDERS FOR ONE POSSIBLE DESERTER? Did Obama do Anything about the Military man that is being held in a Mexican Prison? No-Guess there were NO Muslims he could Cut Loose on that one.

Both Bergdahl and Obama are traitors, no doubt about that. Releasing five top Taliban who can conspire against America and the West, that’s preposterous. Every Westerner who converts to Islam is a traitor to our values and the ideas we stand for. I think the Gitmo prisoners get a treatment that’s too good for them. Pork and and confinement in the dark would be appropriate.

What the obamination, muslim turd/president miscalculated on is not so much the unsympathetic nature of Bergdahl, but the inevitable revulsion of the 5 pieces of scatology released from Gitmo.
These will not be the “Five Easy Pieces” that go quietly into the night. They will make lots of trouble that will haunt our little muslim turd in chief, barry hussein, and all of his merry muslim ass kissing band of islamocrats.

……………………………………………
Yes—it is important to note that these are *very* different matters. When I was in college, my old boyfriend had a childhood friend who enlisted in the service and went AWOL several times. This was *not* a great situation—he’d be a good, even exemplary, soldier for weeks or months, then develop panic attacks and walk off his base and come back to see his mother or his girlfriend.
Once he was found by MPs at his girlfriend’s apartment; twice he returned on his own. In all cases he was chagrined and apologetic and gracefully submitted to discipline.
The poor guy was a mess; but he was *not* a traitor. He was deeply concerned that what was just an annoyance during peacetime could get his buddies killed during combat. It was something he talked about often, and with a great deal of anxiety.
On the last occasion, his frustrated but sympathetic CO suggested that either military life was not for him or that this was a bad time in his life, and they worked out some deal where he got a general discharge.

3. His email to his father…
His father responded: “OBEY YOUR CONSCIENCE!” Bergdahl apparently did by deserting and seeking out the Taliban.
……………………………………………
There have been cases where soldiers have become conscientious objectors. I remember one case during the First Gulf War of a man raised as a Jehovah’s Witness who only when it came to battle realized that he couldn’t fight.
Now, in the past such soldiers might have been taken out and shot—but that hasn’t been the case *for a very long time*.
If Bergdahl had really just been a conscientious objector—for *any* reason, even including sympathy for the enemy—he could have come to his superiours and explained the situation. I’m sure there are current or former military staff here more familiar with policy than I; but my understanding is that he would have been relieved of duty, confined to quarters, then shipped stateside as soon as possible. Perhaps he would have then served some time.
So if he had really just not wanted to fight to “obey [his] conscience”, there was *no* reason for him to desert in the middle of the night. This only makes sense if his ‘obeying his conscience’ meant *joining the Taliban*.

Yes—I had tended to give Bergdahl the benefit of the doubt originally, since the only report I had heard of this came from the meretricious Taliban. But, as noted, there is US and coalition *confirmation* of much of this.
And we know how other Taliban prisoners have been treated—it didn’t involve playing soccer with the “Mujihadeen” or—*especially*—being allowed to *carry weapons*.
All this certainly suggests that he joined them outright.

Why has none of this been known until now? These secret documents have just been revealed, and Bergdahl’s fellow American soldiers have just been released from a gag order that threatened them with legal action if they spoke about Bergdahl’s desertion. Why the cover-up?

Yes—this is especially appalling.
And from what I know, soldiers tend to close ranks when a fellow soldier is in danger—if this were simply a matter of Bergdahl having been unpopular, difficult to work with, or incompetent, I’m sure his fellow soldiers would have put all that aside in an effort to rescue him.
But his *going over to the enemy* is a *very* different matter.
That they were not allowed to speak about this is *very* troubling, and suggests that the administration didn’t want the true circumstances of Bergdahl’s “captivity” to come out.

We have a true American Hero sitting in a Mexican jail by crossing the border on accident. I have traveled to TJ many times when I lived in S CA. I would park on the CA side but have wound up after leaving the parking lot stuck in the lane to Mexico then having to wait in a long line to come back to the USA. Bergdahl left his unit and went looking for the Taliban. Bergdahl is a deserter,traitor and quite possible a collaborator. BO traded 5 top terrorists who will go back to their way of life killing more Americans for someone who didn’t deserve to be rescued.

So he almost immediately contradicts his implication that Muslims were no threat to the West with a threat to destroy Israel. And, of course, nothing would so embolden Mohammedans in their Jihad against the West as the destruction of Israel.
His implication that the preservation of Israel is not our fight is utterly false.
All in all, the typical Muslim post—threatening, homicidal, antisemitic, and thoroughly illiterate. *Ugh*.

I find this most curious…http://www.marketwatch.com/story/official-bowe-bergdahl-has-declined-to-speak-to-family-2014-06-08?link=MW_latest_news
I noticed that Bergdahl was highly emotional in those moments before the transfer from the Taliban to US forces. Were those tears of relief? Of sadness? Mental strain from five years of “captivity?” At first blush, I thought he appeared to be a psychologically fractured and broken young man.
I’m curious as to why he has declined to communicate with his family…
Thoughts?
