The attacks on Bergdahl are so bogus. First off, I am told he spoke Pashto, the language of the people there. The guy may look like a mountain man, but he is a philosopher, and a scholar of sorts, on his own. He is sensitive, self-taught, and in his own way, erudite. Paul Pascuzzi notes: Last year Allen West was complaining that Obama was not doing enough to bring this guy home, this year he complains that Obama brought him home. Typical. The father took the time to learn as much Pushta and Arabic as he could after his son was captured in order to try and talk to the Taliban and get his son home. He spoke in English, Arabic and Pushta on the stage. He said he was speaking in Arabic and Pushta because his son had not spoken or heard English for about 5 years and was having difficulty communicating when he was first retrieved. His son also was barely able to speak when first retrieved as he had not been allowed to talk for a long long time. As to how his son was captured, there are at least 3 different versions going around. One from Wikileaks says the military documents show he was captured while going to the latrine. Some soldiers claim that he deserted his post, but even they do not claim to have witnessed him deserting, they also claim they had to sign non disclosure agreements with the military about it. A third version has him being taken as they returned from patrol.
