<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nI’ve been waiting patiently for news out of the Bergdahl sentencing hearing that would indicate that the Army is tired of the BS and has decided on a sentence, but the defense has droned on about poor Bowe. A mental health doctor testified yesterday that Bergdahl suffers from PTSD that he caught before he joined the military from his childhood. His childhood PTSD has been exasperated by his treatment as a POW, according to ABC News<\/a>;<\/p>\n The doctor also provided insights into Bergdahl’s way of thinking, saying that while he’s intelligent, he is also “naive.”<\/p>\n Morgan compared Bergdahl to a child who jumps into things without thinking about the consequences. Bergdahl wants to do the right thing but doesn’t always know the right way to go about it, Morgan said.<\/p>\n “Once [Bergdahl] gets an idea that makes sense, he wants to do it,” Morgan said, adding later that Bergdahl knew walking off of his Army post “would get him in trouble.”<\/p>\n During his examination, Morgan administered five separate tests on Bergdahl to determine if the soldier was trying to fake a mental illness.<\/p>\n Bergdahl passed every test but one, which Morgan said is designed for civilians — not prisoners of war — and could explain why Bergdahl tested so highly on the probability for malingering, or faking an illness.<\/p>\n “The fact that they don’t see something wrong doesn’t mean there’s not something wrong,” Morgan said.<\/p>\n “People with mental health illness are not dumb,” he added. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n The article continues with testimony from a woman who runs a cat rescue shelter in San Antonio. Apparently, while Bergdahl was there, he brought her 24 cats – she calls him the “Cat Whisperer” and offered him a job.<\/p>\n NBC News<\/a> says that an intelligence agent described Bergdahl as a “Goldmine” of information on the Haqqani network during his debriefing in the days after his release;<\/p>\n Amber Dach, who spent 16 years in military intelligence, was the primary analyst assigned to Bergdahl’s case for the five years after he disappeared. She described how eager he was to help intelligence officials at a hospital in Germany days after he was returned to U.S. authorities. Although his voice was weak and raspy, he helped authorities and even drew diagrams in his downtime to bring to his next debriefing session.<\/p>\n Dach and another official who debriefed Bergdahl testified that his time in Germany was extended partly so he could offer additional time-sensitive intelligence.<\/p>\n “He was very motivated to just download all of the details that he recalled,” Dach testified. “It was a gold mine. It really reshaped the way we did intel collection in the area.” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
