"Within minutes he was airborne. The helicopter's rotors whooped so loudly that Bergdahl couldn't communicate clearly with the men on board.So he grabbed a paper plate and wrote three characters: "SF?"
The men understood: Special Forces?
The U.S. commandos didn't bother to write back.
"Yes!" shouted at least one over the roar of the flight. "We've been looking for you for a long time!"
Welcome home, Sergeant.
Glad he is no longer suffering the hellish existence he must have been enduring, but unfortunately response to his release will be mixed due to circumstances related to his capture (and his release as we let terrorist go to secure it). Hopefully he can shine some light on what happened that will not put him in a bad light.
I love that he's been released, but I'm concerned that we released 5 terrorists from Gitmo to secure it.
I guess we do negotiate with terrorists.
Don't get me wrong, glad he is free, but a dangerous precedence this does set and puts other soldiers in harms way.

I think it was the right thing to do. I'm glad he's free. I can't imagine how hectic the coming days and weeks, maybe years, will be for him. I'm overjoyed for his family. Welcome home.
Now isn't this the guy that walked off the FOB and got several people killed and injured searching for him? I seen a story from a guy today who was shot in the chest during the search and couldn't get a medivac because the help:s were all in the search. most didn't haven't any good words.
I was under the impression they really didn't know what happened to him. Either way, he deserves to be home.
He was on a foot patrol ffs...
