June 08, 2014

Statement by Pentagon Press Secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby:

“The Department of Defense does not comment on discussions that Sergeant Bergdahl is having with the professionals who are providing him medical and reintegration care. We will respect that process in all regards.

“As we have noted, the Army will conduct a comprehensive review to learn the circumstances of Sergeant Bergdahl’s disappearance and captivity. That process, too, needs to be respected.

“Our focus remains on providing him with the care he needs.”
