Michael Waltz: As a Soldier and Veteran ‘I’m Devastated’ by the Bergdahl Decision

RUSH EXCERPT:
WALTZ: "Martha, you know, as a soldier, as a veteran, today I’m devastated. I’m devastated for my men who are actively baited into ambushes, searching for Bergdahl. The Taliban were feeding us false information and baiting us to places that we shouldn’t have gone and missions that weren’t properly vetted. I’m devastated for the SEAL that underwent 18 surgeries. I’m devastated to the army sergeant shot in the head on a mission looking for Bergdahl and cannot speak and cannot walk anymore. So he’s not walking free. None of these people. They all received a life sentence. For Bergdahl to receive nothing is just an absolute travesty. I expected reduction for how he was treated, which he brought on himself, but now to find out that not only walking free, he’s appealing his dishonorable discharge and seeking what? An honorable discharge? I would expect a book deal and a movie deal after that? I just find absolutely devastating."
