Bring Bergdahl's Reasons for Deserting Into the Debate

   We free five Taliban members, including one who was once their deputy minister of defense, in exchange for the freedom of a single American soldier?
   We negotiate with Qatar instead of directly with the Taliban since U.S. policy forbids us to negotiate with terrorists? It seems if Qatar is representing the Taliban, the effect is the same, and the policy is still broken.
   Congress was not notified as required by law? I don't think we can justify this breaking of the law.
   And, to top it off, Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl may have been a deserter. And, his platoon mates say six died while searching for him.
   Of course all these matters all to be considered as our nation debates his release. What may not get as much attention, should. If Sgt. Bergdahl had become disillusioned with the war, and perhaps even with America, what were the points that drove him that direction? We as a nation should be very concerned with our faults, and what we might be doing wrong. If Sgt. Bergdahl went out a soldier sold on the purpose ahead, but lost faith in what we were doing, let us consider the issues that led him to disillusionment.
  If he deserted, but deserted for righteous reasons, while we still hold him accountable for deserting, we should be understanding.
   And, we should bring his reasons into the debate that is upon the nation.
