BREAKING: US soldier released in controversial swap with Taliban arrives home in Texas

The American soldier released in a controversial swap with Afghan insurgents has arrived back in the United States, the Pentagon says.

SERGEANT Bowe Bergdahl arrived on Friday on a flight from Germany to San Antonio, Texas where he will continue treatment at Brooke Army Medical Center after spending five years as a prisoner in Afghanistan, the Defense Department said on its web site.

Bergdahl was captured in Afghanistan in June 2009 and released by the Taliban on May 31 in a deal struck by the Obama administration in which five Taliban officials were released from detention.
The US Army sergeant had been recuperating at the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany, amid growing debate over the swap that secured his freedom, with some US politicians accusing President Barack Obama of capitulating to "terrorists."

The Pentagon said that in Texas the soldier will "continue the next phase of his reintegration process. There is no timeline for this process."
