Don't expect Sarah Palin to attend any homecoming celebrations for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl.
The former GOP vice presidential nominee and half-term Alaska governor wrote on her Facebook page Monday that President Obama never should have praised the soldier who was released this weekend after five years of captivity in Afghanistan.
"No, Mr. President, a soldier expressing horrid anti-American beliefs even boldly putting them in writing and unabashedly firing off his messages (http://nypost.com/2014/05/31/the-bizarre-tale-of-americas-last-known-pow/) while in uniform, just three days before he left his unit on foot is not 'honorable service.' Unless that is your standard," Palin wrote.
She was referring to an email sent by Bergdahl to his parents, which were published in a 2012 Rolling Stone article by the late journalist Michael Hastings. In the message, sent days before he went missing, Bergdahl wrote that he was "ashamed to be an american (sic)" and that "the title of US soldier is just the lie of fools."

Wouldn't it be great if she received that particular story, about Senator McCain...

Q: When is half-term Sarah wrong?
A: Whenever her mouth is open.

(15,429 posts)Not one of the people claiming Bergdahl walked off his post actually, you know, saw him do what they say he did.
So there is no way of knowing what happened until after the Army completes a full investigation.

(273 posts)but the Asshole detection feature on those services is quite valuable! Mr. Kincannon has been nice enough to use it to expose himself.

(89,240 posts)i think he just had an interest in exploring the country and maybe thinking he can make friends with some of the afghans.
but this is why he would have left without being armed.

(1,788 posts)About his boss, soldiers, the Air Force....hell, my brother complained about the Air Force. Either her son never talked to her about his time over there, or she is just a lying sack of crap.
I'm so angry right now.
Will someone Give her a Edema Orally! Her And Jeb Bush are bored crapless & have too much time on their hands, maybe Area 51 Will Allow Them Back In.
