Lights and shadows in disappearance of US SoldierBergdahl

Bowe Bergdahl Sergeant is “right”, ” can walk alone” and is in the military medical center in Landstuhl based in Germany, says the Pentagon. It will be in Germany where the sergeant disappeared in 2009 in the Afghan province of Paktika, southeast of the country, start a process of rehabilitation is not easy adventure. That basis will be transferred to a medical center in San Antonio (Texas), to be reunited with their families.

The end of nearly five years of captivity open the door for Bergdahl tell his story, what happened and how he lived all these years with their captors. Anticipating that his son has assumed an identity that is not his forced by circumstances, the father of Sgt grown a beard as if he was a Salafi and learned Pashtun.

The story of the capture of Bergdahl is confusing and may have become a metaphor for everything that has gone wrong in the longest war fought by the United States. “The system is wrong,” Bergdahl wrote in an email to his parents three days before disappearing from the map. ” The U.S. military is a joke, is a army of liars, fools and abusers. The few [ sergeants ] good will as we can and tell the soldiers to do the same. “

These quotes tells Christopher Dickey in the profile Bergdahl published in January in Tha Daily Beast and completed with the portrait that the late Michael Hastings, passionate reporter the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the soldier did for Rolling Stone.

According to Bob Bergdahl, the soldier’s father, his son romanticized the idea of combat, ” living in a novel.” But the reality of the battlefield and the brutality of a conflict in which civilians are trapped between two sides could have broken the soul of the young boy, 23 years old at the time of his capture. According to his family, contempt he said his colleagues demonstrated by the Afghans and run over by a military vehicle of Afghan girl was the moment in which reached bottom.

Shortly after his disappearance, Fox launched a virulent accusation and claimed that Bergdahl had defected to the Taliban and could save a lot of money to the U.S. government if they ” killed “. However, the Obama Administration did not give up the attempt to find the soldier ‘s captors and negotiate his release, as happened on Saturday.
