Several soldiers who served with Bowe Bergdahl, the recently freed U.S. prisoner of war in Afghanistan, would like to tell you how to deal with that dirtbag. They don't want to get into the politics, but they have ideas. Would you like to book them for your show? Just call the Republican strategists representing them.

Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, the only prisoner of war held by the enemy in Afghanistan, was freed last week after a deal by the U.S. to exchange him for five Taliban fighters at Guantanamo. But is he a turncoat? And did the White House sell out America to secure him? Here's what we know.

President Obama is expected to officially announce today that troop levels in Afghanistan will be reduced to just under 10,000 by the year's end. That means more battalions for Africa and Syria now!

Yesterday, we asked you to share your experiences dealing with the beleaguered Department of Veterans Affairs—the good and the bad. The response was overwhelming. Today, we focus on two accounts that defend the VA, while laying much of the blame for its problems on Congress.

The United States armed forces have a sexual assault problem. As in: How does a service member avoid sexual assault charges? Fortunately, Military Times' legal advice columnist has you covered: If you can claim you got mixed signals, you can beat the rap.

Now that the nation's attention is finally focused on the Department of Veterans Affairs' most recent struggles with administrative corruption and incompetence, a worker with inside knowledge of some of the VA's problems has reached out to Gawker.

Oh, those damned namby-pamby leftists with their weak-ass hashtag slacktivism. If only they knew that what really changes the world is dudes with guns. Thankfully, Marine Todd here will set them straight. With a hashtag sign. Get it? Har har!

Conservatives are helping draw needed attention to the VA's fuck-ups, and that's seriously good. Now, what do they have to say about the Army recruiting and retaining unbalanced sociopaths who thieve, deal, murder, and organize anti-government militias on bases?

Staff Sgt. Tracy Dice Johnson, a National Guard soldier whose wife, Staff Sgt. Donna Johnson, was killed in Afghanistan in 2012, has learned that she will receive survivor benefits from the VA, the first same-sex spouse to be afforded that privilege.

Saturday was Armed Forces Day. How did you celebrate? Oh, you didn't know? Neither did Commander-In-Chief Hussein Obummer. He was too busy celebrating International Day Against Homophobia Or Transphobia. That's according to right-wing bloggers. And they'd never steer you wrong! Right?

Selected Air Force members, men and women, will be able to take three years off from the military to start families, a mirror of a recent pilot program by the Navy. It's a pretty novel idea. Almost as novel as paid parental leave, but not quite.

Conservatives want an exception to a recent federal rule requiring higher pay for fast-food-workers on military bases, because paying Joey 10 bucks an hour to salt the fries will drive BK out of business, and the troops will miss their Whoppers, and why do you hate the troops?

There are fifty states in our blessed union. There is only one state that holds an open election for the general who will command its National Guard forces. The reason is to keep black people from being too powerful. The result is that a convicted stalker may end up with all the tanks and guns.

Will transgender Americans get to serve openly in the military soon? Very possibly, yeah.

When Marine veteran Daniel Rey Wolfe signed on to Facebook on Monday night and announced he was taking his own life, documenting the process in a graphic timeline of final self-portraits, his former comrades worked quickly and purposefully to save their brother-in-arms.

A former combat Marine says he shouldn't be languishing in a Tijuana jail for crossing the Mexican border with three guns, because it was all a mistake: He was heading for a night out with his buddies in California, missed the last highway exit, and ended up Mexico-bound.
