Ha, based on his discharge from the Coast Guard, the US had an obligation to retrieve this man. He should have never been allowed into the military due to his mental state. I am sure what little mental stability he had at the time of his enlistment was diminished at the time he walked out of his bunk that lonely night.

Oh holy hell, we allowed a guy with a psych discharge to enlist in the army. This one's on us. They did the right thing bringing him back. I hope the conservatives back off of the deserter thing.

+1. I was in the camp that they needed to bring him back, but it was such a high price to pay. Now I think the gov't owes him even more.

He did not receive a psychological discharge, which is why the Army took him. He told his friends he faked psychological issues to get out. They didn't feel he was faking.

There was no official diagnosis from the Coast Guard that I can find. If you have that paperwork or other proof, please post the link

Obviously you have misread what his friends said. And it is doubtful that a living person's private diagnosis is going to be made public because it violates patient privacy.

Then you have no leg to stand on. His friends don't get to diagnose him. Bergdahl said he faked it. You can't ignore that

Apparently you haven't talked to many crazy people.

Are you this much of a douche in person?

The military was taking all kinds of unqualified people to fight that asinine war in 2008. All you needed was a waiver and it was easy to get one. People with criminal records, gang bangers, druggies, physical and mental impairments, militia were all recruited and enlisted Notes from Bergdahl's personal diary is indicative of a person walking too close to the edge of reality.

That is the kind of people army needs in time of war. The men are sent to figh. A man close to edge is a good candidate

Yes these are unimportant people we send to fight wars. If this guy was a good person he would not have been in the military. Also, conservatives would not attack as they did.

This is not true. My son enlisted and the screening was pretty thorough. No criminal record, no drugs, must pass a very complete physical - you all either do not know anybody who has enlisted or have been totally misled by the liberal media. Enlisting in the military is a very serious decision, and one that should be respected by the public whom these people protect. For most people, it is a selfless decision - most soldiers I know have chosen this path because they are caring, giving human beings. Yes, they are taught to be tough, and the basic training is grueling - many don’t make it through because it is so tough. I admire and have the utmost respect for those who have chosen to serve. I wish more of our elected officials had chosen to do so.
Naturally, as in any profession, there are those that make it through that probably shouldn’t. My view is that Bergdahl was one of those. I think he had a more “romantic” view of the military. When it didn’t “live up to” what he imagined, he took the coward’s way out.

His teammates said that the things he wrote home were not things he talked about with them. I think he hid his "issues" pretty well.
