[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The [b]conservatives have all branded Bergdahl a Taliban sympathizer.[/b]  However, the reality that is emerging is that Bergdahl was not cooperating with them and that he repeatedly tried escaping captivity and that the Taliban kept Bergdahl in a cage and abused him.  Doesn't sound like "sympathizing" to me.[/quote]

As a conservative, I can confidently say you are over-generalizing.  From what I have read and heard, he appears to be a deserter - but I would not brand him a sympathizer.  Nor would most of the people I have talked with.[b]  The report that came out last week from a private firm contracted by the Pentagon seems to allude to the fact that he had freedom while in captivity and even did some target shooting.  First, we don’t know how accurate that report is.  Second, there are good reasons why this might be true, if it was - self-preservation or Stockholm Syndrome, for example.[/b]  So, to state that ALL conservatives have done this or that is not accurate.  It is best not to use such qualifiers.  [/quote]
