QUESTION: What are Veteran groups or Veteran/Enlisted saying about POW Bergdahl's release?

[Lee-Lee]

1. Go to just about any web forum populated with vets or those serving, or place where they comment

From the Army Facebook page to articles in Army Times and the comments.

The overwhelming sentiment seems to be "Glad we got him back, now bring him to justice for desertion and endangering everyone else."

Leave no man behind doesn't absolve them from accountability for their actions once returned.

And I saw this just now, interesting if true:

The Pentagon on several occasions had ground-level intelligence on where ArmySgt. Bowe Bergdahl was being held captive at various times — down to how many gunmen were guarding him — but special operations commanders repeatedly shelved rescue missions because they didn’t want to risk casualties for a man they believed to be a “deserter,” sources familiar with the mission plans said.

I will say I understand the difference between risking to rescue someone who was captured doing their job and risking to attempt to get somebody who willingly went, in disregard for orders and rules, and the deal didn't work out like he hoped.
