re: #258 lawhawk

Here’s what gets me about this:

First, do we even know the guys splashed all over the TV are in any way legit? Were they vetted? By whom? And why in the ever loving hell are Republican political consultants the ones who got them interviews with Our Shitty Media outlets? That last question is the one that I keep coming back to. A guy who worked on Mitt Freaking Romney’s presidential campaign has his grimy mitts(heh) all over this and no one is batting an eyelash?

Now, this next thing could be complete bullshit or not, so I don’t know, but it’s been hinted at that there’s proof that this whole desertion thing is a lie and that Bergdahl was captured while leaving his post to go to the bathroom. It came up a few times on the radio this morning (and granted this was by callers to talk radio, so who the hell knows), but I haven’t had the time to investigate that yet. There also seems to be some sort of Tillman like twist to this story in that the guys in his unit weren’t real fond of his opinions and the way he went about things. In other words, the investigation into this hasn’t even really got rolling yet, and even if it does, how much the public will ever know is questionable.

Beyond all of that, the guy is coming home, that really should be the end of the bullshit. But of course, now that the Usual Suspects have sunk their rotten fangs into this, the guy and his family are going to be harassed for god knows how long once he’s finally back in Idaho.
