Interesting article from the Army Times... Military community reaction mixed to Bergdahl release

DFRESH I did a search on the name 'Bergdahl' and it came back with one hit from the following thread.. However, that name was mentioned several times in the 'Leaving Afghanistan' thread. Oddly enough, doing a Google search against the following parameters also only returned the one hit: Bergdahl site:https://www.flyingsquadron.com/forums Any idea why the search function isn't working properly? Cheers! M2

Done. I did a search before posting; but no hits showed from that thread. I will let DFRESH know in the AFTO-781 section of the forum, we may be having issues with the search function. Cheers! M2

All comments about the release of SGT Bowe Bergdahl have been moved here:

Wow.

Yep, the few bits I bothered watching were shit. I noticed the same thing, B-17s as a part of German raids on London. If they're not going to get the basic facts right, they shouldn't have bothered at all!

Rumors (which are being denied) are that it was all a part of a publicity stunt. Got this out of a law enforcement report this morning... Here's the original article... Video at the link.

Fuck yeah!

Common occurrence in Mexico, except that they aren't mannequins! Looks like the border with Mexico is getting less secure every day. Puts a little more emphasis on why we need to defend it a lot better than we currently are...

32-Year-Old Houston Man Sues Stripper Claims he "loaned" her money and wants it back. "Nomi" says there is no such thing as "stripper refunds." Apparently there's no lawaway plan either! He says he's learned his lesson and will no longer "date" strippers! BEST LINE: "I've given him gifts to, y'know. How do I get bootie and boobs back? See video at link. Stay class, Houston!

Was putting gas in the Jeep this afternoon in Helotes (NW San Antonio) and saw this huge RV going down Bandera Road towards downtown. Lo and behold it was the official TiB tour bus... I only wish I had a dozen rotten eggs with me, as I would have loved to paint that thing up with them!

Second on Ko Olina, always my favorite place to stay on O'ahu (sorry, but Waikiki is just too fucking crowded!) and I'll be heading back there in a few months... And no problems checking in golf clubs, you just can't carry them on the aircraft.

The dude looks like a sex offender... This version of the story is even more amusing...

If he's buying handguns at the Offutt BX, then he's in Nebraska. I think the M&P is a much smarter choice for a personal firearm, but I would still take a Springfield XD over one. The S&Ws are replacing a lot of Glocks with police departments, but from what I heard in the SAPD was that the XD was rated over the M&P during the competition for a replacement service weapon; but S&W offered the department such a great deal on their pistols (plus the fact that they provide the ARs the department uses), they made the more economical choice. Still, I have no problems with the M&P line and many people love them. I am just very partial towards the XD as the ones I have owned have been amazingly accurate and reliable. Cheers! M2

I thought Miley Cyrus was on my flight to LA yesterday... Turns out it was a dude!

'Fail' as in not true, or 'fail' as in that is true and stupid? I honestly don't know because I was never stationed in a "non-free" state, nor would I live in one now that I am a freedman...

Horrywood!

It gets better...

And you get what you pay for...

Same with Lackland and Ft. Sam...

Ya gotta admit, that is why most of us shop there! Walmart might have sales, but rarely do you see stuff marked ridiculously down because they just want to get rid of it. I've scored some sweet deals that way. Another bonus is the employees, while stationed at a small European location we got to know some of the folks working in key positions at AAFES. Saw a nice skateboard that I wanted for my son, but it had no price. My bud the manager marked it for ten bucks. A week later it was priced at something like $80. Also scored a nice pair of boots from the uniform shop marked down considerably because they had been "returned." Turned out some Army troop mistakenly bought them then found out he couldn't wear them. Other than his trying them on, they were never walked in. So yeah, while some prices may not be that great; it's like going to a gun show...you never know what sweet deal you may find! Cheers! M2
