Anonymous Officials: You Know, Bergdahl's Really A Hero. He Was Trying to Walk to the Nearest US Military Base to Report His Platoonmates' Wrongdoing.

They're the real villains here, you know.

There are no depths to which these monsters will not descend, JWF says, and he's right.

Team Obama-Bergdahl has trotted out this line before. The spin served with honor and distinction, just like Bergdahl.

All this crap about the unit being "unruly" concerned video of the troops not wearing helmets and armor in the field. Make no mistake, "armor discipline" is an important thing in the Army. But also make no mistake, you need to strictly enforce discipline to get troops to keep helmets and armor on, because they are heavy, hot, and uncomfortable. If you watch old Vietnam footage, you'll see troops without helmets all the time. And armor is even more rare.

Not wearing armor is a reason to get on the troops' leader, and give a talking to the troops. But this fairly minor event has been blown up by a media desperate to rescue Obama as possibly meaning... well, the picture they're trying to paint is that these troops went around killing and raping civilians, isn't it? When in fact their major sin was not wearing helmets.

Disgusting.

Was He Going to Report on America's Wrongdoing?

Was He Planning On Reporting This Fellow Soldier's Wrongdoing?
