Former National Security Adviser Susan Rice praised noted deserter Bowe Bergdahl in 2014, saying that Bergdahl “served the United States with honor and distinction.”

Bergdahl infamously walked off his Army post in Afghanistan in June 2009 and was then captured and held hostage by a Taliban-aligned group for nearly five years. Former President Barack Obama’s administration secured Bergdahl’s release on May 31, 2014 as part of a prisoner swap for five members of the Taliban.

Rice defended Bergdahl’s record in a June 1, 2014 ABC News interview, after she was asked if Bergdahl should be punished for deserting. “He is going to be safely reunited with his family. He served the United States with honor and distinction,” Rice answered.

She needs to lay off the "medical" MJ a few hours before talking to "news" media people. The guy deserted and cost several far better soldiers' lives trying to rescue him.

It all depends on what side he was serving I guess.  He served the side that the Obama administration was clearly on very well indeed.
