Forgive me for a moment while I get one of John Boehner’s tissues. Deserter Bergdahl’s parents are ‘really hurt’ that the American people are mad that their son deserted his military comrades, and at least six people were killed looking for his deserting ass. The ABC/AP article is trying to drum up sympathy for the Bergdahl parents who last week spoke in Arabic and thanked Allah in the Rose Garden at the White House when Obama thought he was taking a victory lap.

| Bergdahl’s Parents ‘Really Hurt’ by Outcry (BooHoo) |

“They have been really hurt,” said Pastor Phil Proctor of Sterling Presbyterian Church in Sterling, Virginia. “They’re trying to keep their heads down.”
Proctor said Bob and Jani Bergdahl were surprised by interviews they have seen with former platoon mates of their son Bowe Bergdahl. Some of the soldiers told media outlets they didn’t support the exchange of five Taliban officials that led to his freedom.
“This very much hit them as a shock and I’m not sure anybody’s got the full story,” said Proctor, who is urging prayer and compassion for the family.
