Matt Farwell an Army veteran and author of “American Cipher ” has a lot to say about the war in Afghanistan and the way the country treated Bergdahl. We don’t even call it the GWOT anymore, we call it ‘overseas contingency operations.’ Who’s going to miss a few body parts of terrorists that can easily be staged as being killed in a bombing raid? Since then, he was last seen walking east towards the Afghan/Pakistan border.Ironically, recent leaks from a senior DOD official stated the Army is looking to continue funding their ongoing fight in Afghanistan currently known as Operation Freedom’s Sentinel by selling “Bergdahl Brownies” to local nationals. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to get to my next IPR on how we can change the narrative of the transgendered from suffering from a ‘disease of assumption’ that they can be anything they want to be to ‘being all they can be in the Army.’ I hear we’ll have PVT Chelsea Manning testifying today, I expect a lot of progress to be made.”When our office attempted to reach out to Bales’ public affairs representative, based in Fort Sam Houston, TX, SGT Bowe Bergdahl could not be reached for comment. A district judge and an appellate court have sided with the Army, saying the civilian court did not have jurisdiction over the Army secretary's decision and that the Army has a right to determine who remains in service. Only time will tell whether this operation will be either executed, piecemealed out, or aborted altogether, but many within DOD hope it pans out.Ultimately, SSG Robert Bales is expected to be released early next week.

To our surprise, Secretary Carter responded by saying, “Why should I care what my Chairman and one of my Chiefs are trying to do in this situation?
After his last run in with police during a pot raid SG an underground weed farm, he was reunited with the Army after coordinating for a “prisoner exchange at an established drop off point,” something Bergdahl is all too familiar with at this point in his career. He was sentenced and served 15 months in prison. After his release in 2006, he returned to duty at A board recommended that Claiborne be discharged, but an acting commander decided to suspend his release for at least a year.Later, it was dropped altogether, and Claiborne remained in the service, rising in rank and reenlisting in 2008, then again in 2010 for five years under an agreement that he would stay for 20 years under the REDUX retirement plan.In 2013, Congress passed a defense policy bill with a provision requiring the services to administratively separate any service member convicted of a sexual assault offense whose conviction did not include a punitive discharge.Later that year, then-Army Secretary John McHugh signed a directive extending the measure to everyone currently "serving in the Army, regardless of when the conviction for a sex offense occurred. A former staff sergeant has petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to consider whether the Damon Claiborne submitted an Alford plea -- an admission that enough evidence existed to support a conviction, even as he maintained his innocence -- in 2004 after being arrested for having sex with a young woman he met at a bowling alley in South Korea.Claiborne admitted he had relations with the girl, believing she was 19; however, she was a minor.
