who is speaking to bergdahl in that vehicle is probably his handler, the one who knows him best. there is a familiarity there. that would be the person you expect to hand him off to americans. on the other side, when you see americans come out1&b and dealh the exchange, it seems one may be an interpreter. they are special operation soldiers in civilian clothing and i assume they have side arms. they are trying to make this as peaceful hand over in terms of visual as they can. if the taliban didn t want this to go through and if they wanted to engage in an ambush, that helicopter becomes a bullet magnet. the best protection in the sense they had is the taliban got such a good deal and wanted it to go through so a double cross was unlikely. pete, what do you make of the demeanor of bowe bergdahl? subdued, resigned to his fate. at this point it sunk in what is going to happen.
