1 ss and has been recuperating since june 1st. some republican lawmakers were asking why he hadn't been returned to the u.s. >> why hasn't he been returned? we are seriously wounding soldiers who returned to the united states almost immediately after they are stabilized. you are trying to tell me he is being held in germany because of his medical condition? >> i don't like the implication. >> he is being held there because our medical professionals don't believe he is ready until they believe he is ready to take the next step. >> bergdahl's military promotions and back pay as a soldier are on hold until the army determines why and how he was captured the cal tan. heather? former navy seal and fbi

agent joins us now to breakdown the next step. thank you so much for joining us. appreciate your ex piece as always. what is happening to bergdahl right now? can you sake us through the steps now that he is back on american soil? >> i am sure he has had the preliminary questions asked. whenever intelligence is rolling. he has been five years, whether he was detained as a hostage or willingly, we will find out. regardless the information he has there's a lot to be gleaned from that. they have to take care of his well-being first and foremost. i am sure there are preliminary questions. now that he is back and stabilized for whatever he has i am sure the questioning is going to start pretty rapidly. >> five-years, the longest for any american ever. but it is in their best interest to get him in the best physical health possible so they can question him.

in terms of doctor patient privilege whatever he said can be passed on at this time? >> there is no doctor soldier privilege. there is with a psychologist, but just anything said in front of the doctors can be used against him. it is important to realize that when we bring soldiers back or the same which we treat our own prisoners of war we may have in guantanamo or detainees everybody is treated humanely those questions are solved. then the questioning starts. if he was an injured soldier he would be brought back and taken care of and treated the same way. now they can start to get those questions. whatever he may have said in p front of doctors there's no privilege for that. >> what do you see as the possible outcome? >> i think probably my opinion based on what we have seen happen before, we have about

three different outcomes. one he is found mentally unstable and then he gets potentially pow status he would get over 300,000 back pay all of the rank promotions and get disability. >> just quickly the other two? >> the other two is he goes through long drawn out court battle and the third is he falls out of the political ramifications of the decision. >> thank you soefrp for yo-- so much for your expertise former navy seal. >> another fox alert. iraq on the drink of collapse. taking aim at baghdad and americans are being told to get out. marianne rafferty has the latest. >> violence once again descending on to iraq. >> those sounds are getting

these jihadists aren't getting a permanent foot hold in either iraq or syria. criticism of the president's decision to pull all american troops in 2011 growing louder. >> we don't have any options in iraq because these forces now are less than 100,000 miles away. if you use any type of air power you have to have people on the ground to direct the munitions against the enemy forces. >> senator john mccain going even further. >> iraq may be transforming into a his second syria or b a restored califate. the world's wildfires are going to consume the obama legacy and leave his successor a nightmare. this decision of a complete pullout of the united states troops from iraq was dictated politics and not our national security interests. i believe history will judge this president's leadership with

a spokesman says bergdahl will continue the next face into the preintegration process. there is no time line for the process. our focus remains on his health and well-being. he was swapped for five gitmo prisoners. some republican lawmakers were asking why he still had not been returned to the u.s. >> we have seriously wounded soldiers who rurped to the united states almost immediately. you are telling me he goes being held because of his medical condition. >> i don't like the implications. >> answer it. >> he is being held there because they don't believe he is ready to take the next step. >> bergdahl is expected to be reunited with his family.
