Shortly after Bowe Bergdahl's release was announced, one of his former platoon mates Cody Full (@CodyFNfootball) began unleashing his account of what happened in Afghanistan on Twitter.
On June 30, 2009 @ OP Mest, Paktika Afghanistan @ apprx 0600 local time roll was called. Everyone reported 100% except 3rd squad (my squad)

Bravo Team was 100%, Alpha Team wasn't (my team).
PVT. Bergdhal was unaccounted for. Searches were conducted on the OP(1/4 acre in size)

As Cody Full tweets his memory of this event, he flashes back to when he first met Bergdahl and gives some interesting impressions.
(B) moved in at the Barracks with me and my roomate. All 2nd PLT 3rd Squad but my and B were on Alpha. From the get go something seemed off

Normally before war 20 something drink beer, BBQ, hangout with platoon/squad mates on free time, could be your last days you never know

B would always stay inside on his bunk reading Rosetta Stone in the 3 languages where we were deploying in Afghan

As his story continues, Full addresses some of the issues being used as sympathy for why Bergdahl became disillusioned with his post in Afghanistan and his behavior prior to the night he deserted.
What B was portraying to his family and what was happening in real life were polar opposites

We never ran over a child or anybody for that matter. That part really pissed me off.

During the times @ Mest it is true that B would spend hours with local forces and ask them to translate various things and ask about terrain

B packed all his belongings; computer, clothes, random shit,etc. Minus camera and journal.

Why would someone pack all of there belongings and send them home in the middle of a 12 month deployment? Hmmmm

Full's memory seems quite clear about what happened after Bergdahl went missing.
Teams were immediately kicked out into surrounding area to look for B. I can't not describe the intensity

Our PLT came upon some children, they asked him have they seen an American.
— _ (@CodyFNfootball) June 1, 2014
The children said "yes, he was crawling on his belly through weeds and acting funny a while ago"

Villagers said an American did come through the area and was wanting water and someone who spoke English. Wanted to meet with Taliban.
— _ (@CodyFNfootball) June 1, 2014
After that missions starting going off like crazy 17 days straight trying to find B

At the end of Cody Full's account of Bergdahl's desertion, he tweets:
Take it as fact or take it as fiction. I just wanted to get some things off my chest.
— _ (@CodyFNfootball) June 1, 2014
Sounds pretty legit, right? Lending more credence to Cody Full's story, Megyn Kelly interviewed him and another platoon mate on Kelly File Monday night. However, on Tuesday, an Obama flunky from the State Department claimed Bergdahl's fellow platoon mates were not reliable sources, basically calling them liars.I don't know who this chick is (and it doesn't really matter), but I'm taking the word of an honorable veteran who was serving in Afghanistan five years ago when Bergdahl decided he was disgusted with America and wanted to switch to the Taliban team.
This is not a political issue. This is strictly getting the truth out on what happened, B knowingly and planned to desert his fellow men.
