interesting Most Americans who watched the video purporting to show the moment Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl was released into U.S. custody were likely primarily interested in seeing what Bergdahl looked like after nearly five years in Taliban captivity. But the video is alarming for a number of reasons from a Special Forces perspective, a Special Forces contact told Glenn Beck early Thursday morning. Beck said he had a conversation with a “Special Forces guy” at around 5:00 a.m., and though he left the individual unnamed, Beck shared on his radio program all of the warning signs the individual pointed out in the video. In this image taken from video obtained from Voice Of Jihad Website, which has been authenticated based on its contents and other AP reporting, Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, right, stands with a Taliban fighter in eastern Afghanistan. The Taliban on Wednesday, June 4, 2014, released a video showing the handover of Bergdahl to U.S. forces in eastern Afghanistan, touting the swap of the American soldier for five Taliban detainees from Guantanamo as a significant achievement for the insurgents.

The Taliban on Wednesday, June 4, 2014, released a video showing the handover of Bergdahl to U.S. forces in eastern Afghanistan, touting the swap of the American soldier for five Taliban detainees from Guantanamo as a significant achievement for the insurgents. The Video Was Recorded by the Taliban Beck said his Special Forces contact watched and discussed the video with some of his teammates, and that they were struck by a number of things. The individual first pointed out that the video was recorded by the Taliban. Beck noted that it was reported several days ago that the video was recorded by the Taliban, before the individual added some insight into what that actually means. When you are in an American helicopter in a war zone, the individual told Beck, and you see “a guy on the ground with a rocket launcher … and a video camera,” you have a shoot-to-kill order because the combatant is almost certainly planning to kill you and your teammates and create a propaganda video.
