Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl's former squad leader in Afghanistan says Bergdahl wasn't adjusting well to their deployment and that he suggested to higher-ups that Bergdahl speak to someone, such as a chaplain.
Former Army Sgt. Greg Leatherman testified Friday that Bergdahl was introverted and didn't do many things with the other soldiers. He says he expressed his worries about Bergdahl to his first sergeant and that he was told to drop the matter.
Leatherman said: "First-sergeant said he didn't want one of his guys telling him what was wrong with somebody in his company."
So, here we go again, with the military treating their own with mental health issues with the same approach that Patton used when he slapped soldiers with PTSD.
Somewhat equivalent to taking someone with a bad pain problem, then prosecute them for public drunkenness when they turn to what is available.
So it seems that this case is not so simple, and involves abuse of the soldier involved.
