>> From what I've read, military reviews of the casualty lists from that area for the time period specified claim to not show a single casualty resulting for the 'search for Bowe', let alone six.
But you don't read anything that isn't liberal propaganda. You think this woman is lying?

From the NYT:
The soldier who spoke on condition of anonymity agreed that it was “ludicrous” to lay 100 percent of the blame for the deaths at Sergeant Bergdahl’s feet, and he acknowledged that patrols were going to get hit in Paktika during fighting season anyway.
But, he said, the reason he and his colleagues are angry is that too often that summer, the purpose of their patrols into dangerous areas was not ordinary wartime work like reconnaissance, maintaining a security presence, or humanitarian projects, but rather “to go look for this guy.”
Also (different soldier):
“You see a lot of anger because we lost guys not only at Zerok, but a decent amount of good guys looking” for him, said a soldier from his unit who spoke on condition of anonymity.
And still another:
"Combat Outpost Zerok was just one of several small outposts attacked that day while 4-25(A) was spread very thin searching for PFC Bergdahl. There is no doubt his actions led to these coordinated attacks, and without his desertion PFCs Casillas and Fairbairn would not have given their lives that day."
So, I don't know where you're getting your information but these are a few of many such reports from the people who were actually there. That the Pentagon says, "Oh, we don't know about THAT" is a pretty obvious lie. |
