His emails speak for themselves.

Last e-mail to parents

On June 27, 2009, Bergdahl sent a final e-mai­l to his parents:[1]

The future is too good to waste on lies. And life is way too short to care for the damnation of others, as well as to spend it helping fools with their ideas that are wrong. I have seen their ideas and I am ashamed to even be american.[sic] The horror of the self-righteous arrogance that they thrive in. It is all revolting.
His e-mail went on to describe his disillusionment with the U.S. mission in Afghanistan:

In the US army you are cut down for being honest... but if you are a conceited brown nosing shit bag you will be allowed to do what ever you want, and you will be handed your higher rank... The system is wrong. I am ashamed to be an american. And the title of US soldier is just the lie of fools...I am sorry for everything here. These people need help, yet what they get is the most conceited country in the world telling them that they are nothing and that they are stupid, that they have no idea how to live. We don't even care when we hear each other talk about running their children down in the dirt streets with our armored trucks... We make fun of them in front of their faces, and laugh at them for not understanding we are insulting them...I am sorry for everything. The horror that is america is disgusting...There are a few more boxes coming to you guys. Feel free to open them, and use them.

Well, our oldest son graduated from infantry school at Fort Benning, GA and trust me, by the time he got to his first permanent assignment, he pretty well knew exactly what the Army was going to be expecting of him and what it was that he needed to do to survive being in the Army.

BTW, he managed to make sergeant by the end of his 4 year enlistment.

And this deal about Bergdahl being 'promoted in absentia', it's hard to believe that they would do that if there was any questions at the time that he might have deserted. I suspect that the facts in this case are much more complex than we can imagine and only time will tell as what I'm sure is going to be a rigorous investigation by the Army.
