World: The Military is not happy with the Bowe Bergdahl video release

  • It reflects nothing more than the violent, deceitful tactics of the Taliban insurgency. To release this video on Christmas Day is an affront to the deeply concerned family and friends of Bowe Bergdahl.
  • US Navy Rear Adm. Gregory Smith • Condeming the Taliban’s choice to release a video of Afghan prisoner of war Bowe Bergdahl. The Bergdahl family didn’t have much else to add on their own end, except a plea for the captors to “to let our only son come home.” source

World: Bowe Bergdahl, an Afghan prisoner of war, needs Xmas wishes

  • Nobody wants to spend their Christmas like this. U.S. soldier Bowe Bergdahl, 23, has been a prisoner of war in Afghanistan since June. And right on cue, just before Christmas, the Taliban sent a video of the Idaho-born soldier out. He says a number of things against the war, but we get the feeling he was fed those. Hopefully, he makes it out of this scary situation OK. (BTW, he’s the only soldier currently captured.) source
