enough regardless of the nature of his disappearance. I think these Soldiers are pissed because they signed NDAs saying they would never speak of it, yet their perception of the incident differs greatly than the one of the Soldier. To answer your question the 6 that died are:

Staff Sgt. Clayton Bowen and Pfc. Morris Walker were killed by an IED in the search for Bergdahl. Staff Sgt. Kurt Curtiss was killed on August 26; 2nd Lt. Darryn Andrews and Pfc. Matthew Michael Martinek were killed after being attacked in Yahya Khail District on September 4; Staff Sgt. Michael Murphrey was killed September 5 by an IED at the Forward Operating Base, Sharana.

Now whether their deaths were a direct result of his capture or search was determined by the Line of Duty investigations. But if what they are saying is true about the statements he made prior to disappearing I could see why they would be taking these losses as they are.
