* Bowe Bergdahl complains about his treatment by US in new interview
* He deserted his post in Afghanistan in 2009 for reasons that are unclear
* Was held captive by the Taliban for five years until his release in 2014
* Bergdahl pleaded guilty to desertion charges in military court Monday morning
* He did not strike a deal with prosecutors on sentencing and faces up to life
Bowe Bergdahl has whined that the US treated him worse than his Taliban captors in a newly released interview, as he faces up to life in prison for desertion.
'At least the Taliban were honest enough to say, "I’m the guy who’s gonna cut your throat",' the 31-year-old Army sergeant told the The Sunday Times of London in an interview released on Sunday.
'Here, it could be the guy I pass in the corridor who’s going to sign the paper that sends me away for life,' the Army deserter griped in the interview, which was recorded last year and is his first video interview since returning to the US.
'We may as well go back to kangaroo courts and lynch mobs.'

WNU Editor: It is hard to tell from videos and press reports on what is the current state of mind of Bowe Bergdahl. But the impression that I am getting is that he does not truly understand the consequences of what he did. He deliberately put a lot of lives risk .... and soldiers were probably lost and/or injured looking for him. But there is little if any genuine reaction from him .... it is like a distant memory for him. A normal person would show enormous remorse for what happened .... and that person would be repeating it everyday and to everyone. But not in the case of Bowe Bergdahl .... very little remorse .... but a lot of complaints (in his opinion) on being treated unfairly and without justice. Here is an easy prediction .... when the judge makes the determination on what his sentence should be, he will be taking this lack of remorse into consideration.

He reminds me of Hillary.
His initial attempt at joining the Coast Guard was short lived. I don't think he should have been accepted by the Army in the first place.
