Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
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.

Agreed, but I don't see why the trial should take more than a week. Anything more than that is a waste of our tax dollars.

Another charade to obfuscate the real issues...
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...
