If he was asked to do something truly illegal or violates the Geneva Convention, I can see disobeying.  Sounds like this clown was just on the job and didn't want to be because he saw mistakes being made by his superiors.  Uh, duh.  Yeah, some in the military are pretty dumb.  What you do is try to make it better.  Go to someone who's in charge of them that'll listen to logic, if Bergdahl had a viable complaint. I did it many times and the problem was removed.

What's comical is that he says their orders were putting his troops in danger.  Deserting puts your fellow troops in danger!


One day we might actually have a real situation where the war's legit, and that kind of behavior like Bergdahl can weaken our defense.
