re: #429 Targetpractice

All the allegations so far depend upon the word of the guys in his unit, who have been pretty candid about how little they thought of him. And they’ve had five years to get their stories straight and agree on a general narrative.

5 years of nursing grudges toward “that weird guy who didn’t hang out with us and wandered off one night”. 5 years of ‘Hey remember when Bergdahl said this, or did that?’ Throw in likely remuneration, exposure, getting in front of cameras - but only if you don’t say, “He was different, but I liked him. I worried about him, and I’m glad he’s coming home.”
