"We were at OP Mest, Paktika Province, Afghanistan. It was a small outpost where B Co 1-501st INF (Airbone) ran operations out of, just an Infantry platoon and ANA counterparts there. The place was an Afghan graveyard. Bergdahl had been acting a little strange, telling people he wanted to "walk the earth" and kept a little journal talking about how he was meant for better things. No one thought anything about it. He was a little “out there”.

Next morning he's gone. We search everywhere, and can't find him. He left his weapon, his kit, and other sensitive items. He only took some water, a compass and a knife. We find some afghan kids shortly after who saw an american walking north asking about where the taliban are. We get hits on our voice intercepter that Taliban has him, and we were close. We come to realize that the kid deserted his post, snuck out of camp and sought out Taliban… to join them. We were in a defensive position at OP Mest, where your focus is to keep people out. He knew where the blind spots were to slip out and that's what he did. It was supposed to be a 4-day mission but turned into several months of active searching.

  1. And we gave up 5 mass murderer's for him? Guess he got homesick and wants to declare war on us now. Geez! Our foreign policy is looking just like our domestic policy. Or vice versa...

  2. kisses and hugs from our PINO to this guy's parents. I think Daddy Bergdohl knows Arabic way too well, and with that beard and attitude, could he be a muslim now, too? Didn't see Obama hug and kiss the parents of the murdered Benghazi four, now did we? I smell some big huge rats.
