POW Bowe Bergdahl is back on US soil. He now faces the impossible task of reintegration. Impossible because his story already has gone through the meat grinder that is 24/7 news. And by news, I mean cruel speculation, righteous indignation, and delusional rage.
I hope that he is able to piece together a semblance of life. Enough so that he will be able to state his own truth, whatever that is.
Time, as with all exaggerated news coverage, will be the equalizer. How much time, though, will this young man need? How much time will the meat grinder give him? Is the exaggerated news coverage too invested to walk back some of the more outrageous accusations?
My own speculation: No one will be harder on the young man than the young man himself.
