WASHINGTON DC – The roommate of released U.S. soldier Bowe Bergdahl testified Wednesday about the freed soldier’s questionable mental state and demanded that Bergdahl be prosecuted as a deserter for the “ultimate betrayal” of allegedly leaving his post in Afghanistan and endangering fellow U.S. troops.

Retired Spc. Cody Full, who served with Berdgahl in the Blackfoot Company and was his roommate, declared that Bergdahl’s “desertion was premeditated” and that the released U.S. soldier “should not be characterized as serving with honor and distinction,” as Obama administration officials have maintained.
“The facts tell me that Bergdahl’s desertion was premeditated,” Full told lawmakers on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. “It is clear to me that he had a plan and executed it.”
Full outlined a litany of charges that he said should be leveled on Bergdahl and also described the soldier as having a questionable mental state, which included expressing a desire to “kill as many Taliban as he could.”
Full claimed that Berdgahl’s disappearance was a premeditated act of desertion.
“The only thing you can count on in combat is commitment of your fellow Americans, knowing that someone you needed to trust deserted you in war and did so on his own free will is the ultimate betrayal,” Full said. “You should not be able to desert your fellow Americans without consequences.”  (read more)
