If Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl was a deserter, then he’s a
hero. Furthermore, he might have been the only sane

military’s excessively macho culture got to him. If
he did just walk away from his post, it’s clear
something cataclysmic happened in his psyche. It is
not his fault other soldiers may have been killed
searching for him. It is the fault of the government
and its supporters that sent the soldiers into war
in the first place.

The informer, codenamed Curveball was Rafid Ahmed Alwan who, in 1999, turned up at a refugee centre in Germany seeking political asylum. He went on to convince the Pentagon he was a brilliant chemist who had helped develop mobile biological warfare laboratories."
