U.S. Official: Bowe Bergdahl Has Declined To Speak To His Family
Click here for reuse options!Doctors treating Sgt. Bergdahl at a U.S. military hospital in Germany are moving slowly because of the swirling controversy over the soldier’s release, the U.S. official said.
While he spent five years in captivity after being captured by Afghan insurgents in 2009, Sgt. Bergdahl doesn’t yet want to talk to his family on the phone, the official said.
Sgt. Bergdahl has likely been shielded from most of the backlash his release has generated in the U.S. Some former platoon soldiers have accused him of deserting his post and lawmakers from both parties have questioned the decision to trade America’s lone prisoner of war in Afghanistan for five Taliban officials held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Local authorities canceled a homecoming celebration in his Idaho hometown because of the backlash. The celebration was canceled specifically because of threats made against the family, officials said.

After what this family has gone through – now they have to suffer Republican Party death threats. This is outrageous.

It is outrageous. And disgusting. I love how they never wait for the facts to come out, or they yell about the lack of a hearing while the hearing is going on in the room right behind them. The only thing they are good at is projection.

they are “good” at nothing.

I stand corrected–they are skilled at projection and good for nothing.

I disagree, fahvel.
today’s Konservative Republikons are still good at many things.
shark bait for shark fishermen for one
singing fossil fuel for North Korea
moving targets for a Chinese firing range
lubricant for tank treads
penguin food
polar bear snow treat
rattlesnake fang holder
volcano temperature tester
piranha decoy
hunting partner for Dick Cheney.
the list goes on and on…..

What will history say about this?

when’s the last time you visited the capital city of the USA, Reagan, DC?
history will no doubt point out that there was an active resurgence of RACISM led by the KKK political arm of the GOP.
I doubt that very many Americans will keep accurate facts or figures before them as they are deeply embarrassing for the Republicans, so if you can cover them with endless BS, you will eventually talk them into being Americans.

Great List! LOL

perhaps THIS POTUS cares more about an American Soldier being held captive than he does five (5) captured members of the Taliban?
