Il faut sauver le soldat Bergdahl


Cet article de POLITICO récupère habilement le titre du film de Spielberg (Saving private Ryan) pour présenter l'histoire d'un des militaires qui fut blessés en tentant de retrouver celui qu'il considérait comme un déserteur. Un récit particulièrement intéressant.

 "The night Bergdahl disappeared, C. and some of his crew were at the Special Operations op-center on a base in Afghanistan. C. was handed a sheet with details on Bergdahl. As C. remembers it, the paper was pretty clear: “that he had gone AWOL.” There was still some confusion surrounding the events, but “Bergdahl’s buddies were saying pretty decisively that he had walked off the base and deserted his post,” says C. “We were informed that he’d gone into town, where he was asking people if they spoke English, and he’d gotten himself captured by Taliban.”

Having read the report, C. remembers turning to a member of his crew and saying, “This kid is going to get people hurt or killed trying to get him back.”
