We Lost Soldiers in the Hunt for Bergdahl, a Guy Who Walked Off in the Dead of Night

67. That doesn't make much sense

One doesn't wander outside a base to use the bathroom, and doesn't do so without a weapon- anywhere in Afghanistan. Your rifle is with you 24/7 over there, including in the bathroom (more than one person got clumsy and dropped one in too...). Even where I was on a big post like Bagram where you have coffee shops and a Dairy Queen your rifle is with you 24/7 including in the bathroom.

And I doubt they slipped inside the perimeter, nabbed him, and got him out.

Sounds like maybe they came up on him using the bathroom as he wandered around after he had left.

That looks like a transcript of radio intercepts from the Taliban, so its as accurate as they are talking to each other. How accurate that is, who knows. But being captured using the bathroom in the perimeter doesn't make much sense, being caught with his pants down as he wandered around would.

I hope they are pretty quick in releasing all the info now that he is safe to put all this speculation to rest.
