Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl Charged With Desertion and 'Misbehavior Before the Enemy'

[SouthSac916]

Not true.

The six men killed were in the 501st Infantry. All of them were killed in Paktika Province between August 18 and September 6, 2009, after the intense initial search for Bergdahl concluded but within the two- to three-month period when, by accounts from more than 20 members of the 501st, essentially every mission in the province had a PR component to it. One of those killed was from Comanche Company, two of those killed were in Bergdahl's Blackfoot Company, three were from Headquarters Company.

How did 6 die after Bowe Bergdahl's disappearance? - CNN.com

Good to challenge but CNN is full of shyt and not a good source. The article you used was published on Mon June 9, 2014.

Here is one the published not a even a week before onWed June 4, 2014 Fellow soldiers call Bowe Bergdahl a deserter, not a hero - CNN.com
"At least six soldiers were killed in subsequent searches for him, according to soldiers involved in the operations to find him. The Pentagon was not able to provide details on specific operations in which any soldiers killed during that time were involved.

Also, many soldiers in Bergdahl's platoon said attacks seemed to increase against the United States in Paktika province in the days and weeks following his disappearance."

The one you posted said they had sources. How accurate are these people they call "sources".

Anyway you slice it they died doing their job and protecting their country. I'm okay with that as much I can be with anyone dying. The issue is highly politicized at this point. I also know there were a lot of rebuttals and exposals after guys started laying the blame around.

Yeah but the loss of life whether caused by Bergdahl or unrelated was tremendous to the family members of those lost to conflict. You might be okay, but that cold statement was lame as hell in my opinion.

It's never been disputed that his platoon mates aren't happy with him. That doesn't mean that soldiers died during the search for him though.

Here's one more recent and by the LA Times.

Maj. Gen. Kenneth Dahl said Bergdahl was “unrealistically idealistic” when he left his remote post in Afghanistan six years ago for a nearby base, hoping to draw the attention of a commander to problems that he believed were putting his unit at risk.
Dahl said Bergdahl, whom he interviewed for a day and a half as part of his investigation, admitted during the interview that he had been “young, naive and inexperienced” at the time of his capture, and was “truthful” and “remorseful” about endangering fellow soldiers forced to search for him.

But Dahl noted that no soldiers died searching for Bergdahl and said he did “not believe there is a jail sentence at the end of this process” for the sergeant, calling it “inappropriate.”
Jail would be 'inappropriate' for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, general says during desertion hearing

The unrealistic ideal shyt doesn't change the fact that we traded prisoners for him.

This from the prosecutors angle. You picked out what you wanted. There's more:

The lead prosecutor countered that Bergdahl acted with “deliberate disregard” in abandoning his post and shirking hazardous duty, “exponentially endangered” fellow soldiers and upended the chain of command to get attention.

“He planned,” said the prosecutor, Maj. Margaret Kurz. She said that Bergdahl had purchased Afghan clothing for a disguise and had currency “for bribes,” and had mailed home his journal, books and his laptop before he left his post the night before his unit was due to return to the same base he is accused of heading for when he was captured.

She quoted from Bergdahl's interview: “I'm going to get my chance to talk to a general.” She said Bergdahl's victims include those who searched for him, and “the Army as a whole.”

The prosecutor is Major Kurz. I get what her argument is but it doesn't prove those 6 soldiers were killed in the he search for Bergdahl.

She's arguing it was a waste of resources. She's saying it put lives in danger but that doesn't prove any one died as a result of his search.

The guy who was quoted Major Gen. Kenneth Dahl investigated the claims made by soldiers saying soldiers died in the search.

His findings didn't back up that claim. It's in the article.
