Glad to know everyone's priorities are in order.
Its not all over the news because the main stream media does everything it can to protect the president. EVERYTHING. The investigation ended months ago but someone, oh I cant imagine who, is stonewalling the release of the results. The reason no results are released is because the hope is that the public forgets about the whole thing just like Benghazi and Fast and Furious.
Can you blame them? It works like a charm.
That is some good news - hope they hang him with a new rope.
Both NBC and FOX are reporting on the web that he'll be charged within the week, just an fyi.
Do they need volunteers for the firing squad? I'm sure the line would be miles long...
Dammit. Got my hopes up and everything.
I hope they make an example of him.
And now for the trial...
Sgt. Bergdahl has been charged with Misbehavior Before the Enemy.

Not often used, but this charge seems to fit the crime. The Article 32 hearing is scheduled for September 17, 2015, at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, TX.
First the trial....then the punishment.
Damn...potential death sentence.
Over 20,000 American soldiers were tried and sentenced for desertion during World War Two. 49 were sentenced to death, though 48 of these death sentences were subsequently commuted. Only one US soldier, Private Eddie Slovik, was executed for desertion in World War II.
Well, this is surprising (to me, anyway) news:

Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl shouldn’t face jail time or a punitive discharge from the military, according to a recommendation from an Army officer revealed late Friday in a filing from Sgt. Bergdahl’s defense team.
The full recommendation from Lt. Col. Mark Visger hasn’t yet been made public by the Army in the case of Sgt. Bergdahl, who faces desertion and other misconduct charges after he allegedly left his unit in Afghanistan in 2009 and was captured by insurgents.
An Army spokesman declined to comment on the specifics of Sgt. Bergdahl’s legal case.
Col. Visger presided over an Article 32 hearing, the military equivalent of a preliminary hearing, in Sgt. Bergdahl’s case last month. During that hearing, the lead military investigator in the case said he didn’t believe Sgt. Bergdahl should be jailed.
Col. Visger’s recommendation as the presiding officer of the Article 32 proceeding represents a setback for the Army’s case against Sgt. Bergdahl.
It is only a recommendation, the CG can choose to take the case to a Courts Martial.

The Army needs to concentrate on finding terrorists in the ranks, like Nidal Hasan. Want to read some outrageous shit? read this...

Trump says he should have been shot, I'm with The Donald
Yeah...
If the military upper echelon goes full political and forgets their duty to the constitution and the republic and puts politics first, we are lost. In my book that makes them traitors. Let us hope and pray that honor and duty still mean something to men and women that lead our valiant armed forces.
Amen to that.
I wonder if any of the Army brass involved in this is feeling pressure from...let's say a "higher political authority". I honestly wouldn't put that past Obama in order to mitigate the fallout after he swapped 5 bad guys for this douche. "Go easy on Bergdahl. It would be a shame for your career to come to an abrupt end."
