Perhaps a reminder is in order.

Bergdahl is a grown adult male. He isn't a dependent of his parents. That stopped years ago when he raised his right hand and stated an oath.

Bergdahl's parents are his next of kin and really nothing more, in the strict sense of many things military, like the UCMJ, dependency regulations, etc.

It for sure can be easy to look at this and go, "Wow, why haven't his parents been linked up with him...why isn't he home...why...?"

The US military does its best to support the next of kin in cases of injury and death, and yes, POW cases. Bergdahl's case is not black and white, and so until the Army gets its run at Bergdahl to determine what happened, his parents can damn wait.
