“Criticism Mounts Against Freed POW Sgt. Bergdahl

“In the few short days since Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl was released from captivity in Afghanistan, criticism has begun to mount, both in Washington and within military ranks, over the prisoner exchange. Some service members who fought in Afghanistan have come out to say Bergdahl was no hero, but a deserter who left his base in the middle of the night, a decision that ultimately resulted in his capture. Nathan Bradley Bethea was served as an infantry officer in the U.S. Army from 2007 to 2014, and participated in the initial attempts to retrieve Sergeant Bergdahl. According to Bethea, there are lots of questions left to be answered in this story. Takeaway Washington Correspondent Todd Zwillich delivers the Congressional reaction to news of the prisoner swap that secured Sgt. Bergdahl’s release.”
