Ralph Peters on Bergdahl: ‘Look at His Family ... Like Father, Like Son’

‘It is just so out of character for any American soldier to act this way’

PETERS: "No, that's not true! This is not -- the Army is not a daycare center for God’s sake. And it wasn’t multiple deployments, it was one deployment. He wasn’t that far into it. Look, this guy -- the evidence is, he deserted his post in combat. Simple, cut and dried. I don’t want to hear about PTSD, I don’t want to hear about 'Oh, how sad all that is, that he shouldn’t have been there.' He volunteered to join the Army. He wanted to be a big macho tough guy, and he deserted his post in wartime. Now, let’s have justice, let the military process go through, let it go through the Article 32, let it go to the court-martial.”

HANNITY: “But that's part of it tough. Colonel, I'm not disagreeing with you nor am I taking the position. It is just so out of character for any American soldier to ever act this way and that's why I'm raising questions that others have raised. People die --"[crosstalk]

PETERS: "Look at his family! Like father like son."

HANNITY: “Yeah. All right. Guys, good to see you and I'm enjoying your book, by the way. Thank you Robert, I appreciate it."
