It . Who better to ask than the executive producer of the Television Series homeland. We want to know what you think. First, i want to give you mistake on the unfolding controversy over the release of army arrest gent Bowe Bergdahl. We saw his actual release for ourselves today. Squinting, possibly to adjust his eyes to the daylight. The picture of five years in captivity. The video obviously meant to be a propaganda tool for bergdahls captives. A soldiers life saved. That video got me to thinking about brothers in arms. About how the greatest generation conducted themselves on the battle field, but more importantly, what they did once they returned home, if they were lucky enough to return home. Theres been a lot said about ser janet bergdahl. Even from some of the men who served alongside them. They have every right to speak out. And maybe theyre right, but the official evidence doesnt show that just yet. And Bowe Bergdahl cant yet speak for himself. His father says hes having troubl
Under water. Do you hear that . Could that be the key to locating the missing flight 370 . Great to see you. Im john berman. Im michaela pereira. 11 00 a. M. In the east. 8 00 a. M. Out west. Those stories and more this hour. We start with extraordinary video. Its short. It is intense and it is compelling. The taliban handing over Sergeant Bowe bergdahl to u. S. Forces after almost five years. Bergdahl seen wearing simple garb being patted down and then quickly whisked away by u. S. Forces awaiting in a chopper. So much going on in this video just look at it as hes patted down. You see the expression on his face sitting in the truck. Hes carrying a plastic bag. Whats in that plastic bag . The special forces never turned their back on the taliban during the whole time. We want to break it down with a former reserve navy s. E. A. L. Officer, expert in hostage recovery. Thank you for being with us. First off, i want to ask you what you see in this video particularly dealing with the condi
Getting back their leaders. The need for bergdals release was urgent because of his deteriorating health. Look at this clip. In the footage, narrator says 18 fighters came armed in the hills. After it lands, bergdahl moves towards three members of u. S. Special forces. There is a lot to look at here. Two of our guys shaking hands. A couple times, patting time Bowe Bergdahl before they take him away. We will rerack this so you can see it. At one point there wasnt a handshake but he waved his left hand. Thats kind of the equivalent of a middle finger. We will show that again. Final pat down before they hop on that helicopter and away they go. Before bergdahls exit, one did have a message. Dont come back to afghanistan. See the screen . You will not make it back alive. There are a lot of pieces and texture to this video. We brought in our veteran international anchor. As we roll the video, this is after the exchange and he waves. What does that mean in afghan culture . Its definitely bad.
Homeland. Gideon joins me exclusively. Use the askdon. First, the controversy over the release of Sergeant Bowe bergdahl. Bergdahl pale, gaunt, squinting, possibly to adjust his eyes to the daylight. The picture of five years in captivity. The video obviously meant to be propaganda, a propaganda tool for bergdahls captures will hopefully shift to a soldiers life saved. It got me to thinking about brothers in arms, about how the greatest generation conducted themselves on the battlefield but, more importantly, what they did once they returned home, if they were lucky enough to return home. Theres been a lot said about Sergeant Bergdahl, even from some of the men who served alongside them. As i said last night, they had every right to speak out. In fact, they fought for it and maybe they are right. But the official evidence doesnt show that just yet. And Bowe Bergdahl cant yet speak for himself. His father says hes having trouble speaking english. The greatest generation created the no m
