Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, the Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson soldier who has been the only U.S. prisoner of the Taliban -- held since 2009 -- escaped his captors in Pakistan for three days in late summer, according to insurgent sources quoted by The Daily Beast. Bergdahl, a 25-year-old from Idaho, put up a "ferocious" fight before being recaptured, the sources say.
God bless him. I'd have understood if he had gone native under the pressure and isolation. But the man still tried to escape.
It's a funny war when our enemies hold one of our soldiers prisoner in the territory of our ally in the war.
I assume our forces are looking for Sergeant Bergdahl and would enter Pakistan's God-damned sacred effing territory to get him out if we get a decent shot at rescuing him--and kill any Pakistani soldier who gets in the way.
