wife's
you wondering how far this goes back
if you're wondering just how sick
and twisted n
have shared a mentee these people are
in 2009
months happily just no more than maybe two or three months
after Bergdahl's capture and his parents and their hometown
have been on its campaign for the past five years to bring their hometown kid
home
to bring their child home just months after this kid was captured at the age
of 23
Fox News had one of their
experts on Ralph Peters let's here with his Fox News
expert had to say about all this tire will the Pentagon now identifying an
American soldier captured by the Taliban he is
private first class bro berdahl the 23-year-old man from Idaho disappeared
from his base in Afghanistan on June 30 F
well today he surfaced in a video hosted online by the Taliban saying
he's scared he won't be able to go home
so when one of our troops is captured how do we get them back how do we get
him back safely strata a strategic analyst
a lieutenant colonel well peters joins us now thank you so much for talking to
us
I when he was captured on june thirtieth
apparently burned out was captured Wiley walked away from his US
base camp at many people are emailing me and asking
how can a soldier walk off from a base on his
on that one they're always be a another soldier with family to be partnered with
another person what can you tell us about that
well we have to Julie I want to stress for school
we must wait until all the facts really make a final judgment
but nobody in the military that I've heard is defending this guy
here's an apparent does ur we are now five years
how this video and we don't know what happened still a hearing aid this guy
Ralph Peters months after it
saying know we really can't speculate all the facts come in
and now you're going to hear a full line
false key': for throttle speculation
on on on this this soldier her
reports are indeed but he abandoned his buddies
a ban this post and walked off we'll see what the ultimate truth it is
but we but if he did he's a deserter more time
well as one mile between charges you say he's in beaucoup de Qin Shi
now there's another problem Julie on that video
he is collaborating with the enemy under duress or not that's that's really not
relevant
he's making accusations a I member John McCain was captured in vietnam how the
prisoner of war for about five and a half years
did you know that John McCain
who the Republican Party ran as their 2000
and a presidential candidate who they wanted to run the country duo John
McCain
the war hero John McCain made more than 32 videos
denouncing his country after being
being told to do this by the the soldiers
are over North Vietnam during torture yeah yeah
yeah 32 videos denouncing America because he was tortured
yes that the point yes they've
debut for her than ever doubt that had never heard any these
box news analysts experts hosts
republicans in the party outside the party
anyone ever denounce John McCain doing this net never
never you if you did
you would be called un-american yet sure they are doing this to this prisoner of
war
this soldier bow Bergdahl continue in 2009 I made
this videos from but behavior the military in Afghanistan Iran founded
saying there are no rules
he's lying about how he was captured saying he lagged behind patrol
Julie I'll tell you any 11 Bravo infantrymen I'll tell you that's not how
it works
in a war zone any soldier is aware more old buddies are
give it a night patrol you're sure where where the guy in front view behind you
is
so we know this private is a liar
we're not sure if he's a deserter but the media need to hit the pause button
and not portray this guy's a hero Wow alright well I mean I
you know obviously I don't want to speculate here finds what
obviously your Fox News you know real nice speculate here
we know this guy has to do with speculation
I know what we know as the news agency we watch his video
first of all the reason we are not airing at the video and the network has
decided that we will not air this video because that is what obviously
what his captors want they want that message to get out there and we're not
going to do the Taliban any favors here
arm but in a case like this war soldier is taken captive
how does the military prepare for this number one and how they get their guy
back
well the military prepares for it by rigorous training
all soldiers know the code of conduct but you're allowed to do or not and not
allowed to do
when your enemy hands and there are strict limits
I and there for sensible reasons because you don't want to be transformation
about your
your unit your body is battle plans etcetera
as far as getting him back we don't know
our first law I would bet that is not even in Afghanistan a more I bet he's
across a border in Pakistan I don't know that
the best bet get him back his tipsters surveillance
Special Operations for right now I think he's
okay they're not to kill him right away if at all because his tremendous
propaganda value
he saying it making anti-american statements he was to investigate Islam
blah blah blah
Miller doing I won't be clear it when the factory in
we can we find out that stirs some convoluted chain of events
he really was captured by the Taliban here we go
on whether but yeah he walked away from his post in his buddies in your time
I don't care how hard it sounds as far as i'm concerned. the Taliban can save
us a lot a legal hassles
and legal legal bills alright lieutenant-colonel Ralph pairs thank you
very very quickly than that
yeah yeah this the Fox News expert
who is in 2009 months after he was captured
saying no tub and truly serve as longtime fixture that this
US soldier deserted his base 58 is executed for us
wash your hands a bit
this is jest heffernan
I you know discuss it's disgusting
it really is you know allotted
a lot of people who are saying the steps to
they don't know they never serve themselves they never volunteered to
join the army
you know this guy he will happen to have yes but a lot of these
politicians anne's
other just republicans saying this stuff
they never survey don't know what was going through this this kid's head when
he was over there
if it came out that he deserted the base his his army base in Cheyenne and you
know
he deserted his he his fellow soldiers you know
we don't know what he saw where he was going through which had a mental anguish
she had
something could he ppl PTSD is in gym I want to clear your head
yeah if you see kid get run over by a tank
yes what a he so wanted his own it
killed his days before too and your friend just got my yes
I mean we don't know what he was going to. everyone's different
we don't know we don't have a handle this paper stuff
and at the same time you don't know what he was going to do with these
with these capped it with the people captured him you know
she even even as this fox news analyst is
pooh-poohing this kid you know attacking him for making these videos
he's talking at the same time without even realizing that you know
they would treat him pretty well because because they need him
yeah no shit the whole point when you capture someone
from what all these you know terrorists and in such say
you know you want them to feel like there's nobody that there's no point
really trying to escape
she gonna lose and is it really worth xscape when things aren't so bad where
you are right now
you know what they're feeling you letting you play the
had million or whatever as being report he was playing they are not they weren't
really torture him per se in terms of
you know hurting him physically apparently
I mean we don't know we don't buy everything out but
but really it's just stunning its it's amazing to me
kid
