CNN has reported in scrolling headlines that six soldiers died looking for Sergeant Bergdahl after senior American military officials say he wandered off his base. <\/p>\n
But a review of casualty reports and contemporaneous military logs from the Afghanistan war shows that the facts surrounding the eight deaths are far murkier than definitive \u2014 even as critics of Sergeant Bergdahl contend that every American combat death in Paktika Province in the months after he disappeared, from July to September 2009, was his fault.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The troops know what they were looking for – it was right there in their operation orders that they were briefed before they left the wire. They probably rehearsed much of what they expected to encounter. Just because the lily-white, string bean reporters didn’t see it in the AFN reports from the theater while they sat in their offices safe and secure in their cubes, that doesn’t mean that it didn’t happen. <\/p>\n
They complain that casualties that occurred as late as September were blamed on Bergdahl. What? Did they think that the troops only looked for as long as the New York Times expressed interest and then quit looking for him? I suspect that they got ti[s from locals for months afterwards that they needed to follow up on, leaving no rock unturned.<\/p>\n
