Mark Allen, retired soldier paralyzed in search for Bowe Bergdahl, dead at 46

A retired soldier who was shot in the head while searching for US Army deserter Bowe Bergdahl in Afghanistan a decade ago has died of complications from the injury, according to reports.

Master Sgt. Mark Allen, of Loganville, Georgia, was severely wounded in 2009 when he and other troops looked for Bergdahl, an Army private who deserted his post and was captured by the Taliban.

Allen, who died Saturday at age 46, was shot during an insurgent ambush in 2009, when he was left paralyzed over much of his body and unable to speak after suffering a traumatic brain injury.

His wife, Shannon Allen, has told WSB Radio that she did not learn about the circumstances surrounding her husband’s injuries until 2014, after former President Barack Obama negotiated Bergdahl’s release in a swap for five Taliban members held at Guantanamo Bay.

Worthless Obama is a prime example of what affirmative action is doing to this country. We got the worst president in U.S. history, making another stupid decision. He should have left berghaul where he was, but being that Obama saw fit to bring bergdaul back to this country, he should have had him executed by firing squad. Affirmative action Obama, being the stupid, worthless president that he was, welcomed traitor burgdaul back as a hero. WHAT A TOTAL USLESS, WORTHLESS, DISGRACE Obama IS!!!!!!!!!

And Trump gets criticized for his foreign policy? Trump has successfully negotiated with China and Turkey; Obama negotiates with Afghan dissident rebels for a coward and traitor. Who is the better negotiator? I hope Bergdahl enjoys his freedom but I also hope he has nitghtmares every night thinking about this brave person, Allen, who risked his life to find him. Every where he goes he can't hide the fact he is a coward and I hope people shame him when they see him.
