There have been many credible reports, from those who were in Afghanistan, which stated clearly that fellow soldiers were under orders of silence in reference to the desertion of Bowe Bergdahl. It is somewhat understandable to be guarded of sensitive information.
However…
If a reporter was able to reach out to those same troops, and get them to break that silence, would that be enough to get such reporter killed?
On June 7, 2012 Michael Hastings had a piece published in Rolling Stone titled America’s Last Prisoner of War. This was not a fluff piece. It was hard-hitting journalism that was the trademark of Michael Hastings’ reporting. Even back in 2012 Hastings was reporting that Bowe was a deserter and a lot of the stories you have been hearing and reading over the last week stemmed from that ground-breaking account. He was ahead of his time and effectively blew the lid off this story long before it was a story. Here is a brief excerpt from the article, although I would encourage you to read it in full.
