Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl was released at the weekend in exchange | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
for five senior Taliban members who were being held as prisoners | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
Bowe now has to begin his life as a free man but how do you deal | :00:33. | :00:39. | |
Sergeant Rick has missed birthdays, holidays and the simple moments with | :00:40. | :00:54. | |
family and friends. But while he was gone, he was never forgotten. Yellow | :00:55. | :01:00. | |

hometown, placed there by residents to show the world that he was in | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
their thoughts every day. This weekend they have been replaced by | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
balloons to celebrate his release. He had been working as a soldier in | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
the US Army during the Afghanistan war when he was captured on June the | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
30th, 2009. He was held hostage for five years. Being placed in a | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
stressful situation, over such a long time, can have a huge effect. | :01:27. | :01:30. | |

changed, and being reunited eventually with his family who will | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
also have changed. He's going to need a time when he can come to | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
terms with that. Bowe Bergdahl cannot go straight home with his | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
family just yet. After such a traumatic experience, he needs | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
medical help to deal with what has happened. Right now, he's staying at | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
a military hospital. It is very wise to be able to talk to a trained | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
listener when you come out to be able to manage it rather than the | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
experience managing you. That is the secret. Get on it right away. And | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
then you will be fine. The family will never forget this weekend, but | :02:26. | :02:29. | |

President Bashar al-Assad. There are thousands, literally, and that is | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
because of the election. There are a couple of ways of looking at this | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
election. There is the view you get from the opposition, and from | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
Western countries and critics of the resume. And that is that it is a | :03:43. | :03:49. | |

more confidence than it used to as a result of that feeling that it has. | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
