Master Sgt. Mark Allen dies 10 years after being shot while searching for Army deserter Bowe Bergdahl

FOX: Retired Army Master Sgt. Mark Allen died on Saturday, 10 years after he was shot while looking for a missing soldier in Afghanistan back in 2009. He was 46.

Allen was unable to walk or speak since being shot in the head by a sniper in July 2009 during his attempted search for Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who walked off his base in Afghanistan and was imprisoned by the Taliban for five years.

Bergdahl later pled guilty and was dishonorably discharged, reduced in rank from sergeant to private and fined $1,000 per month over a 10-month period for deserting his post and endangering the lives of fellow soldiers, including Allen.

When Bergdahl was traded for five Taliban prisoners and brought home, Shannon Allen, Mark’s wife didn’t hold back her feelings for how he changed their family forever.

“Meet my husband,” she wrote on Facebook, “injuries directly brought to you by the actions of this traitor.” read more

  1. Bergdal’s family welcomed at the Obama Whitehouse.

    Joshua Boyle welcomed by Justine Trudeau.

    These were the 2 Asshole leaders with backwards priorities.

    God’s rest Master Sgt. Mark Allen

  2. Every time I recall that picture of Obama with the Bergdahls at the WH I can feel the rage building. The only way it will subside is the remark I remember BFH (I think) made saying Bergdahl’s old man resembled what he imagined Willie Nelson’s scrotum looked like.

    RIP Master Sergeant. God bless you and your family.

  3. RIP Master Sergeant and may God’s comfort rain over your widow and children.

    The whole Bergdahl betrayal followed by the muslim president’s embrace marked the absolute low for this country. Add Benghazi to it and it’s impossible to swallow.

  4. Damn! It’s dusty here. Damned allergies.
    RIP MSG Allen.
    Bergdahl best watch his back. and scurry home before dark.
    What’s that burglar warning?
    “Anyone caught here after dark, will be caught here the next morning”

  5. The Pentqgon has been a disgrace for 20 years. What better proof than pvt Bergie! He should have been shot 5 years ago for treason. Not only have they not handed out justice but THE PENTAGON PROMOTED THIS AMERICAN ENEMY 2 TIMES – TWICE! AFTER HIS TREASON! PENTAGON REWARDS AMERICAN BETRAYAL!
    America haters run the Pentagon; and have done so for 20 years; or more!

    MORE PROOF OF PENTAGON CORRUPTION IS GWB’S BFF “TALIBAN JOHN”. I am glad thst PG+E has been having problems (even though I have friends employed there) Because their executive VP and GWB’s party buddy was John’s father! That Lindh lives is more proof the Pentagon does not protect America!

    If you want more proof that our military is not totally committed to protecting America ask me. There is more!

  6. I wasn’t suppose to be Bergdahl he was just a lowlife POS but that was all ofukingbama had left to trade to get his buddies free after the HEROES OF BENGHAZI died…Stevens was suppose to be captured alive and use as a bargaining chip to swap for ofukinbama’s muzzie brothers! I think bergdahl AND his muzzie prezident friend should face a firing squad!

  7. The tragedy is that Bergdahl is still breathing in Idaho somewhere.

    The team that extracted him should have let him accidentally depart the helicopter after they picked him up. Sometimes those helo seat restraints are unreliable.
