Bowe Bergdahl Compares Himself to Jason Bourne

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
ALEXANDER: "Let me ask you specifically about this compelling first person account that we are now hearing from your client. Not only did Sergeant Bergdahl want to raise red flags about leadership, as he tells it, about leadership issues at this remote outpost in eastern Afghanistan but that he also considered tracking Taliban insurgents, placing ieds, as he tells it, in the road to demonstrate he was sort of a stellar soldier to avoid getting into trouble. Here he was comparing himself in effect to Jason Bourne."

BERGDAHL (voice-over): "I was capable of being that person."
UNKNOWN MALE (voice-over): "Like a super soldier, you mean?"
BERGDAHL (voice-over): "Yeah. Capable of being what I appeared to be. Doing what I did was me saying I am like, I don’t know, Jason Bourne."
UNKNOWN MALE (voice-over): "Right. A character."
BERGDAHL (voice-over): "Yeah. I had this fantastic idea that I was going to prove to the world that, you know, I was the real thing. I could be, you know, I could be what it is that all those guys out there who go to the movies and watch those movies, they all want to be that. But I wanted to prove that I was that."
