Bowe Bergdahl Prefers Taliban to U.S. Treatment

Former Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl plead guilty to desertion and misbehavior before the enemy on October 16th. Bergdahl disappeared from his base in Afghanistan in June 2009 and was held in captivity by the Taliban for nearly a half-decade. In 2014, the Obama Administration negotiated a prisoner swap with the Taliban, releasing five detainees at Guantanamo Bay in exchange for Bergdahl.

Despite the circumstances leading up to his charges, and the fact that this all began during Barack Obama’s administration, Bergdahl still found it appropriate to blame Trump for his admission of guilt. He apparently didn’t think he’d get a fair trial due to Trump’s rhetoric about him in the past. But if his trial was in a“kangaroo court,” as Bergdahl described it, why cooperate, especially with the potential of using the trial as a platform to attack a supposedly biased and corrupt system?

Bergdahl had been called a traitor by President Trump, a claim he disputes. “You know, it’s just insulting frankly,” Bergdahl responded recently. “It’s very insulting, the idea that they would think I did that,” he said in regards to the fact that he deserted his post in 2009.

In fact, he’s been so maligned by the president that Bergdahl apparently preferred living in Taliban captivity.

According to Breitbart, “Bergdahl. 31, told British TV journalist Sean Langan in an interview printed in the Sunday Times in London that the torture he went through at the hands of the Taliban was less of a problem than the ‘administrative duties’ the Army assigned him as he awaited trial.”

More from the report: “Bergdahl told the interviewer that that he was tortured and kept in a steel cage during the five years the Taliban held him hostage, but that did not compare to how the Army treated him after the U.S. exchanged five Taliban prisoners being held in Guantanamo Bay for his release in May 2014.”

So, he’s deserter and drama queen, this Bowe Bergdahl.

Donald Trump Jr. couldn’t help but react to the ridiculousness of it all:

What do you think? Personally, I fail to see how claiming you prefer Taliban captivity doesn’t contradict the denials of being a traitor.
