I have a question I can't find the answer to in any of what I have read to date. How did Bergdahl become a Sargent if he walked off base (went AWOL) twice before? And when he did walk off base twice before it wasn't in the Afghan theater.
Bergdohl from what I can gather was a chrisitan neocon. He liked the idea of killing those within a conflict. He and his father made some lame fantasy about creating a militia in Africa where missions were attempting to teach villagers to protect themselves. He made this statement about Afghanistan, "If this deployment is lame, I'm just going to walk off into the mountains of Pakistan". (click here)
How did he ever get the authority to state whether a deployment was lame? He was off the base and working outside the unit in his mind more than he was ever a participant. That is arrogance to pretend to know more than one's superiors.
There was another war whereby the enlisted didn't trust the hierarchy, too.
"If this deployment is lame..."
That is passing judgement on his superiors. It sounds like a bad habit he had most of his life. But, he walked off base (AWOL) twice before during his time in the military and he was still a sergeant. Advancing someone in the ranks of the military with bad habits is only asking for more trouble. This is like no surprise. This was Bergdohl's habit. He didn't abandon his post without having a behavior of doing so. This time he ran into Taliban that knew the wealth of holding a POW. That 'wealth of value' of a POW existed before the Taliban were born. It will continue after the Taliban are dead. The political dogma surrounding all this is hideous and ridiculous.
And the neocon killing 'attitude' was not based in 'orders' it was based in his christianity. He judged based in christian values. As far as I can tell he lived in a fantasy world based in the idea his knowledge of what was best was the 'best idea.' He accepted no other authority except his own, but, was willing to give others' ideas a try. That is not a military person. That is a camper wanting to go home after the rigors displeased 'his own promise of ideas.'
What in the hell does the USA military have for soldiers these days?
