Robert Bergdahl sounds more and more like Baghdad Bob — and Americans are getting furious.
The father of American POW Bowe Bergdahl, the Army sergeant who was captured by Afghan insurgents after wandering away from his base in Afghanistan in 2009, is becoming the focus of national anger for a Twitter post Sunday that drew attention to a video by the lefty British newspaper the Guardian about Tunisian prisoners being held at Guantanamo Bay.

The welcome from Twitter users was decidedly unfriendly. This guy’s son’s freedom was paid for by the release of five terrorist killers to the questionable custody of the emirate of Qatar — where they’re likely to kill again.
People are getting suspicious — and angry — that he’s so concerned about even more Gitmo terrorists.
@bobbergdahl@guardian Sir, the bio of these released terrorists have me concerned for America’s security yet you cont. to tweet re G-mo? — Jeff Panozzo (@JPDOFACEP) June 2, 2014
The anger is palpable. First there was Bergdahl’s deleted Tweet that vowed to work for the freedom of all the prisoners at Gitmo. Then Bergdahl thanked “Allah” — in Arabic — during a White House news conference with President Obama on Sunday. Now this.
Is Bergdahl forgetting these men are terrorists? Sworn enemies of the country calls his own?

@bobbergdahl @guardian Bob – I’m glad you got your son back. Your mission is over. Time to get off the crazy train!

@bobbergdahl Yeah because they are peace loving family men. Let the blood of the released be on you when they kill innocents again #asshole

@bobbergdahl Maybe you should just focus on the return of your son and not consider yourself the new Gitmo Fairy Godmother. @guardian

Other users pointed out that the search for Bowe Bergdahl endangered fellow American soldiers after his disappearance. According to CNN, at least six soldiers died looking for the sergeant after his disappearance, and some fellow soldiers said Bowe Bergdahl had actually deserted.
@bobbergdahl You have no moral authority calling for more Gitmo detainee releases. Bowe #Bergdahl endangered enough already. @guardian

@bobbergdahl@guardian dead American soldiers and their families see it differently. Move there if you support them. #ProudToBeAmerican.

For more tweets, see Twitchy.com. But be advised some of the language is very strong.
This one about sums it up, though.
@bobbergdahl You are doing nothing more than destroying America’s delight in the release of your son. @guardian

Amen.
Fellow soldiers say freed POW deserter
not hero; lives were lost looking for him
