But six months later there is silence about the probe from all corners.<\/p>\n<p>Army Lt. Col. Alayne Conway, a spokeswoman at Army headquarters, and Army Col. Steve Warren, a spokesman for the Pentagon, both said Monday that they had no updates about the case. Bergdahl\u2019s lawyer, Eugene R. Fidell, declined to comment. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know what they could be waiting for, the political damage has already been done. We already know that the war against terror is just a touchstone phrase when this administration and this Department of Justice needs something to make themselves feel better. We already know that terrorists count more than the rest of us. We already know that whatever decision the Army makes it will be the one that makes them look good on a particular weekend. We also already know what decision they should be making.<\/p>\n<p>Added: Bergdahl owes those of us who kept our mouths shut for FIVE YEARS. He&#8217;s alive today because even though we knew he walked away from his post, we advocated for his safe return. We knew that he wasn&#8217;t worth a warm cup of spit, but we wanted him back alive, not the star of a beheading video. He owes us an explanation. He&#8217;s alive today because we kept our mouths shut for his well-being. He only had value alive to terrorists as long we didn&#8217;t tell what we knew.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Washington Post has noticed like the rest of us that the Army hasn&#8217;t made a &hellip; <a title=\"Um, Bowe Bergdahl?\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=57145\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Um, Bowe Bergdahl?<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":53658,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[198],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-57145","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-big-army"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57145","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=57145"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57145\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/53658"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=57145"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=57145"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=57145"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
