Mr. Bergdahl in particular, even addressing his son and the people of Afghanistan in whichever language (Farsi, Urdu?) he has probably grown accustomed to by now. I'm sure that, along with them leaving arm-in-arm with the President, will go over REAL big with the Righties. F* 'em.

but it sounded more like Farsi than Urdu ( I have heard Pakistani cricketers speaking Urdu).

The RWs will simply see his beard, pony-tail and ability to speak a foreign language as a socialist Muslim plot leading to Benghazi. Ignore them and celebrate this moment.

It's the language spoken by Bowe's captors, so his father learned to speak it.
