This statistic shows the results of a survey conducted in the United States in 2014 on U.S. Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl being a patriot or a deserter. Bergdahl was captured by Taliban while being stationed in Afghanistan in 2009 and held captive as a prisoner of war for several years. He was freed in 2014 in exchange for five Taliban fighters held at Guantanamo. His release and the surrounding circumstances sparked a controversial discussion. During this survey, 13 percent of respondents said they consider Bergdahl a patriot, while 22 percent stated he was a traitor to them.
