A note to John Kerry - Will Bergdahl be able to testify before Congress on CSPAN like you did?

Letter in the Tampa Bay Times to the Editor:

Gagging the whistle-blowers

Neither convicted national security leaker Pvt. Chelsea Manning nor Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl are your typical, scrape-the-barrel, brainwashed soldiers. This was evident when Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel triumphantly announced to an audience at Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan that Bergdahl had been released, and none of them offered any reaction.

Bergdahl told his parents that he had lost his faith in the Army and was ashamed to even be an American after what he had seen in Afghanistan. He walked out of his base one night, significantly without his weapon, and was captured by the Taliban.

Manning was given access to videos showing atrocities being committed by our troops in Iraq and naively thought that Americans should be informed, and for her trouble is doing 32 years at Fort Leavenworth.

Bergdahl also has a story to tell, about what he saw happen in Afghanistan, but will he be allowed to tell it? Not if President Obama, Hagel, Secretary of State John Kerry and all the chicken-hawks in Congress have anything to say about it.

1. Gee, the person who wrote the letter seems to forget the history and lay this all at the feet of the

current administration. First of all, people who want to know do know what happened in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The Obama administration is working to get us out of Afghanistan, and has pretty much done so in Iraq already. The damage done by 8 years of bush and the neocons is being undone.

As far as Bergdahl, maybe the poster is ignoring that it was the Obama administration that got him released, much to the disappointment of the MSM, some in Congress, and the right wing. Hagel was also involved in this. So for this letter to the editor to group the President, SS, and even the Sec of Defense in this group is wrong

4. It's an ongoing campaign by RandPaul2016 to push their theme: Obama WH no different than Bush WH.

They've been working overtime on Dem boards, including this one.

6. I'm not ignoring that. But should he be jailed like Manning? He speaks of atrocities. War crimes.

2. John Kerry or Chuck Hagel are a lot of things

but chickenhawks is not one of them.

3. Exactly.

But I would be OK if we hear Bergdahl testify. He surely has a lot of things to expose

[madokie]

5. Me too

I'm against war 100 percent. If we're being attacked I'd be the first to go but these want too wars we've had since ww2 suck.

7. I did not call Kerry a chickenhawk. It was a poster, wanting to know if he will be silenced.
