I have extremely mixed feelings about this story. On one hand, I can sympathize with Bergdahl for questioning what the war was really about and whether the US was in the right. On the other hand, disappearing during the night and leaving your fellow soldiers vulnerable is about the worst thing you can do. I think it was on To The Point the other night, they had a soldier who was stationed with Bergdahl in Afghanistan. Hearing the emotion in his voice as he talked about the 6 men who died as a direct result of having to search for Bergdahl was tough.
