Evan's twitter is @evanscottb, but he's not posting anything yet.

The soldier Cody, I mentioned back in post #27, confirms Evan was his & Bergdahl's TL.
As long as he is out. I've heard, from some inside, that 501 got caked in to sign NDS and I believe guys that PSCED to other post got hit over the weekend.

Update and moving on...

After the shot in the arm from all of you, I did a phone interview which the editors made into a video and posted on my blog. Cool but weird.

Again, thanks to all of you, I did a follow up piece, something else I've never done. Orion5, I gave you a shout-out for one of the links you posted.

The point of this second piece is to try to answer those demanding proof as well as to redirect the conversation back to the scandals the timing of this release conveniently made disappear.

I'm posting this link here, because, well, thanks.

"Obama administration officials argued over the weekend that Bergdahl's deteriorating health required the administration to move urgently to return him to the care of the U.S. military."

By all means, put this... individual on one of those super-secret lists and delete any and all records pertaining to him. Then give the VA bureaucrat drone a bonus.

(Unfortunately, I know this will never happen. It only seems to happen to the good guys. Personally, I liked Team Sergeant's take on why the Green Berets were not sent to "recover" this POS. [He] "... would likely have disappeared again, and for good.")

Question:

What would it be worth, in trade value, for the opportunity to put a suspected traitor on trial? (No, I do not think B. Hussein Obama has thought this far ahead. But hear me out).

If memory serves me correctly, Benedict Arnold escaped prosecution, joined the Brits, and actually led missions on American soil. After the surrender, he went to England, and died with no friends on either side.

Assuming this guy is a deserter, and actually aided the Taliban/Al Qaeda, and good men died trying to find him, would there be a proper "price" to pay for the opportunity to make him face a court martial? Also, looking at the issue long-term, would it be better that he face a U.S. Firing squad than die in Afghanistan?

If I am seeing this correctly, even the mainstream media has picked the allegations up. I see no way he eludes a military trial. I just don't see how the administration could stand in the way of a court martial.

Thoughts?

SB and MG asked the most important question - "Was the CIA Station Chief outed because he wasn't on board with the administration's plan to swap a traitor/deserter for dangerous HVTs?" The implications are astounding. I feel for the Soldiers and families who've had their old wounds ripped open by the recent media attention; however, everything else is a rehash of ancient history - made fresh by his return to US control, but ancient nonetheless. What amazes me is the MSM's apparent willingness to explore the deserter aspects of the story.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

I will admit I am troubled by these events. The man walked out on brothers, more brothers died trying to find him, and finally - we put our brothers in the stan at even more risk negotiating. I don't agree with this.

I am glad he is safe - but perhaps someone more deserving should have used this once in a lifetime gift.

Cody Full and another teammate Gerald Sutton talked to Megyn Kelly tonight.

VIDEO (6:31)

All of these guys are coming out - full names & on video. Has anyone seen any teammate from 1-501 who doesn't say Bergdahl deserted?

Ok, Administration....tag, you're it.

Quick question about the status of his pay. Is it being held until debrief/investigation is complete?

False communications?

I received this from one of my subscribers. Anyone have any ideas? Seen this before? Any intel on this "Honor, Release, Return, Inc.?

Emails were redacted when I received it.


From: Robert Ousley [mailto]
Sent: 01 June, 2014 20:31
To: Jim "Moe" Moyer
Subject: Outrageous False Communications
Importance: High

Please be aware that the wacko's are out and have begun to start the fog of war. Bob Bergdahl's Twitter account has been hacked and there are imposters posting comments on various media that look like they are coming from Bob or Bowe Bergdahl. Please help stop the terrorist acts that are now following Bowe Bergdahl home. Get the word out that there seems to be an active campaign to destroy Bowe and his family at this critical time.

If you see a comment that looks whacky or off color or something that you can't imagine coming from Bowe or his family take heart because they didn't. Bowe is not communicating on any social media. There are anarchists doing rapid postings to the Million Cards for Bowe site in an attempt to damage support for bringing Bowe home to his family. Please don't get distracted by the whack jobs. They are the lowest form of life on this earth and it will take the efforts of all who supported Bowe and his family in captivity to put these despicable people back in their slimy hole.

Please spread this as far and wide as possible. The more who understand what is happening the quicker we can out these people and stop this ugly attack.
