Bergdahl going out to S.A. restaurants, stores

 SAN ANTONIO — The Army said Wednesday that Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, the American POW released in a prisoner swap with the Taliban, has gone into San Antonio for dinners and other excursions, and that he has been welcomed by people he meets.

So far, Bergdahl has left Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston about 10 times as part of a carefully staged plan to help him readjust to freedom.

“I can't give you specifics, just because I don't want people camping out at those places, but he's gone to restaurants, he's gone to supermarkets, he's gone to stores out in town and he's gone to the same places on post,” Army South spokeswoman Arwen Consaul said.

Bergdahl starts recovery at BAMC

Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl arrived early Friday in San Antonio and was escorted by local police across town to begin his continued recovery after nearly five years as a Taliban prisoner.

He arrived at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland at about 1:40 a.m. in a KC-135 refueling plane and was escorted by a team of caregivers that had been with him throughout a two-week stay in Germany.

Bergdahl, wearing Army camouflage fatigues, was greeted by Maj. Gen. Joseph DiSalvo, commander of U.S. Army South.
