Let the cover-up begin.

(Reuters) - The sprawling San Antonio Military Medical Center where freed prisoner of war Bowe Bergdahl will soon make his return to the United States is no stranger to healing the mental wounds of those who have gone through traumatic experiences abroad.

Bergdahl, a U.S. Army sergeant held five years by the Taliban before being freed on May 31, has left a U.S. military hospital in Germany en route to San Antonio, where he will arrive on Friday for further treatment, a Pentagon spokesman said on Thursday.

Maybe he can take dad on a stroll out toward Uvalde some morning and both of them can get in touch with themselves.

I believe he was a defector, not a deserter.

He's neither a defector nor a deserter until a military court says he is.

We can hold our own opinions (kind of like the "work place violence" at Ft. Hood) because I don't really trust that a true verdict will be given. It's all political now. I've said many times that the "brass" of the military is now are all politicians and not true leaders.

One thing you can say about Bergdahl ─ he's one screwed-up young man. Apparently his unit's (er, ah) "goofball," he had few if any friends, was booted out of the Coast Guard posthaste and worried about his mental stability in Facebook posts, where he used the name "Wandering Monk." Definitely not your ideal buddy in a war zone.
