Washington (CNN)Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl told the military he left his unit in eastern Afghanistan in July 2009 intending to walk to the nearest U.S. military outpost to report wrongdoing, believing he could not trust his own commanders to deal with his concerns, according to sources familiar with the Army investigation. It is the clearest indication yet of the motive behind his decision to leave his post.

Bergdahl was planning to report what he believed to be problems with "order and discipline" in his unit, a senior Defense official tells CNN. A second official says Bergdahl had "concerns about leadership issues at his base."

This information is part of the report presented to General Mark Milley who this week decided to charge Bergdahl with desertion and misbehavior before the enemy. This information outlines what could be a key part of Bergdahl's defense, which the army is already aware of.

Both officials declined to be identified because of the legal proceedings against Berghahl, but both have direct knowledge of the information outlined in the report. "This was a kid who had leadership concerns on his mind," the second official said. "He wasn't fed up, he wasn't planning to desert."

total bullshit.

Ok, if this was true, why didn't the captors use this to their advantage and have him spill the beans to make it a black eye propaganda wise on the US?
Surely, if he had complaints about his supervisors, I am sure the captors interrogated him enough to get a reason from him why he would abandon his post.

This is like grasping for straws. I could se the captors saying " yes, this American soldier left because he has information on wrongful misconduct. He will now tell the world what atrocities the Americans are doing here!"

Yeah, didn't happen

Not even good lies.

If there's one thing I knew as an 0311, it was that the ultimate sin is letting your buddies down. I'm willing to forgive a LOT of shit and give mil members the benefit of the doubt in a looot of situations...but this guy screwed his team, no two ways around it. And he did it knowingly, via desertion. Fuck him.

Is there a base nearby and how far away is it?

At this point everything coming from our government is an blatent lie. It's almost as if everyone in the Executive branch didn't even get a GED.

It's expected though you can't openly shame the king and take down a Muslim at the same time.


Does anyone know how he lived for 5 years and then just walked back to base?

And why is nothing said about the guys that died looking for this POS?

Oh boy, that's not going to help him much if that's allowed into evidence.

I also understand that there are letter he wrote to his family that I believe will not help his case much if they are allowed into evidence.

I'm sure his defense team is working on some motions to keep those things out of evidence.

Horse shit.
No one is stupid enough to believe they can just walk to another base in a hostile country.

That sounds exactly like some bull shit lie a boot would tell to me when I caught him doing something stupid.

I guarantee you there was some corruption going on his unit

this is going to come into play and he's going to get a plea deal especially in this current climate.. we were smart and just told The Associated Press when this happened and called a few senators. Bad eggs got reassigned fast

Except all the actions prior to him going on his little walk about contradict this plan.  Mailing home his shit would have sounded more like suicide by jihadi.  Atleast thats a plausable plan.  

Bergdahl or anyone reading that works with or near him: I hope you die of festering ass cancer.  In your final moments in agonizing pain I hope you realize the misery and suffering you caused by betraying your country.  Fuck You traitorous cunt.

Look at how many people defend Snowden?

It's a good angle, if you can make it work for you.

Admit nothing, deny everything, make counter-accusations.

That's a damn good question. He screwed everyone over by leaving and now it sounds like his whole defense is to throw the guys in his unit under the bus.

I kind of felt bad for him at first because I figured he must have had some major screws loose to do what he did. But after this I can't have any sympathy.
