The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun”. ~Ecclesiastes 1:9~ I guess by now you have all heard about the news of the release of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl to US Special Forces on the Pakistan/Afghanistan border in exchange for five Guantanamo detainees. I don’t call them detainees I call them for what those rats are “terrorist”. I’m not jumping up and down with joy because there is more to Bergdahl story than meets the eye, especially the way SGT. Bergdhal was captured. I pray in the end he gets court martial for putting our service men and women in harm’s way searching for him. And he better have a damn good excuse for getting captured under the circumstance he was. If I am wrong then I will be the first to admit it. But this has happen before. So let me give you a little history flash back to good ole Robert “Bobby” R. Garwood. “ Here is a little snippet on Garwood’s capture. “Garwood was assigned to the Marine base at DaNang in South Vietnam as a motor pool driver. The circumstances surrounding Garwoods disappearance are in dispute; Garwood himself claims that he was ambushed when he got lost while driving alone in a jeep to pick up an officer that his jeep was torched and he was stripped naked.[8] What is known is that on 28 September 1965, he was absent at the 2300 bed check. No unauthorized absence (UA) was reported because Garwood was thought to have had a late run. He was reported UA after he failed to report for muster at 0730 on the 29th”. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) “The circumstances surrounding Bergdahls capture remain something of a mystery. There has been some speculation that he willingly walked away from his unit, raising the question of whether he could be charged with being absent without leave (AWOL) or desertion”. (AP post). I posted a story of Garwood so read for yourself, I’m happy for Bergdahls family for his release at least they have peace of mind knowing he is safe and alive back in American hands. But I have a feeling in my gut his story is not going to add up and if it doesn’t I hope the burn his butt strange case? A Strange case in deed. I love Obama statement Bergdahls recovery is a reminder of Americas unwavering commitment to leave no man or woman in uniform behind on the battlefield. ~President Obama~ I often think about Benghazi if he had the same urgency. 3rdmarines.net/Garwood_intro.htm
