Bowe Bergdahl gave his first TV interview, and basically he wants you to know he’s REALLY offended that people are so MEAN to him!
Oh… and it’s all Trump’s fault.
I don’t know if this man is a complete narcissist or a complete idiot.
It’s interesting how he’s got his little feelings hurt for being called a traitor… what about the men who nearly lost their lives looking for your a$$, Bergdahl? Do you think they may be “insulted” that you’re parading around, trying to act like a hero?
You’re not a hero.
Bowe Bergdahl said it’s ‘insulting’ that he’s being portrayed as a traitor, in his first filmed interview since being released by the Taliban in a 2014 prisoner exchange.
The interview, filmed by British filmmaker Sean Langan last year, was aired by ABC News on Monday, as the Army sergeant is set to plead guilty to desertion charges in military court.
The 31-year-old Idaho native offered no explanation for why he abandoned his Afghanistan outpost in 2009. But he says the narrative that he deserted his company to join the Taliban is false.
‘You know, it’s just insulting frankly,’ Bergdahl said. ‘It’s very insulting, the idea that they would think I did that.’
While he didn’t speak about his reasons with Langan, he has tried to explain his actions before.
In taped conversations with filmmaker Mark Boal, which aired on the second season of the podcast Serial, Bergdahl claimed he left his post so that he could report his ‘unfit’ platoon commander to senior officers.
In the more recent interview, Bergdahl said he led he could get a fair trial due to the negative comments made by now-President Trump on the campaign trail last year.
‘We may as well go back to kangaroo courts and lynch mobs that got what they wanted,’ Bergdahl said. ‘The people who want to hang me, you’re never going to convince those people.’
Bowe says he won’t get a “fair trial” because of Trump. That’s some BS. Bergdahl made his decision to leave his post without permission – and put COUNTLESS American lives in danger – way before Trump was around as a presidential candidate.
He can be “offended” all he wants… he’s a traitor.
