Some 59,000 soldiers deserted the Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. I wish the Repubs would start attacking all of them now.

One of the first news stories I remember seeing about Bales was about how he was such a family man and blah blah blah – and oh by the way, he was an atrocious murdering psychopath.

Then the media practically crucified Bergdahl for what he did, which really shows how far we've fallen.

We will use this again and again. Or at least through the primaries. Possibly up to the general. Then, after that, Vanilla Isis will fade into obscurity, much like Caribou Barbie. Wait, what?

I know, right? When advised that you have the right to remain silent, for the love of Dog, STFU! Most people talk themselves into jail.

I'm thinking he was trying to clear his name, and thought he'd get a cleaner trial in the press.

Then he's not to good in the thinking department. Well, we knew that.

When they are out to get you, don't ship them ammo.

Sadly, Bergdahl didn't have "other priorities."

People love to talk, especially about themselves. Interrogators know: just put in an awkward silence and people will try to fill the void...usually with incriminating information.

So nobody knew he walked away from his post . . . until the Serial podcast? This lawyer is too busy lawyering to notice reality.

The right wingers have called for his execution, calling him a traitor and worse. I don't recall a similar outrage when life-long Palin family friend Jeremy Morlock was charged and convicted of heinous war crimes. A few years in jail seemed fair to them for three murders and abuse of a corpse.
