It's Official: Bergdahl Charged With Desertion
Quote:
So we traded a deserter for 5 guys responsible for the deaths of American soldiers. I'm sure Dear Leader didn't know about the desertion thingie at the time. Seems legit. |

Soldiers died trying to rescue our POS/POW. Whatever the max sentence for desertion is, B-man needs to get it. What really sucks is, the guys tasked with getting him back, especially the ones who died trying, KNEW he was a deserter, yet they still made the effort to rescue him.

That is how most .mil types feel too. However, we all know that because of dear leader that it will not go down that way. Dear leader should be in prison right beside the deserter for releasing known terrorists. Holy shit this country has gone down the crapper.

God, would I love to be recalled to duty to sit on the jury panel. . .
Article 85 states: Any person found guilty of desertion or attempt to desert shall be punished, if the offense is committed in time of war, by death or such other punishment as a court-martial may direct, but if the desertion or attempt to desert occurs at any other time, by such punishment, other than death, as a court-martial may direct. The question would be "Was the conflict in Afghanistan a war?" I would argue that it was and that Bergdahl's desertion deserves the death penalty. That would not preclude Obama from granting him clemency, but it would give him yet one more major PR problem. |

Between DD and Done, meaningful incarceration is appropriate. There is a facility in Maine that could be partially refitted to serve the purpose admirably. Return it to RED LINE status. The "Castle" still stands. The military still owns it. Put it to good use. |

According to the Pentagon spokes person this AM on Fox this is not true.
This Administration will do whatever it takes to delay and trail of this scum bag. |

Guaranteed Obama stepped in and told them to stand down on this. Disgusting.
Bergdhal (and his father) already knew Farsi and then learned Pastun prior to Bergdhal going into the military. It's my contention that he had plans from the very start of his military career to defect to the other side. He is the only American soldier taken captive by the Taliban, the ONLY ONE. All others were killed immediately, or tortured and killed. There was a very good reason they kept him alive for 5.5 years. |

In my Army days you had to be AWOL for 30 days to be a deserter. If your kidnapped and can't return by free will, you have no chance to return.
The Army needed troops and quality people weren't enlisting in the Infantry. The Army scraped the bottom of the barrel to get people to include the alleged low life's in the mentioned Platoon. Bergdahl left the Coast Guard when he couldn't hack it after a few weeks. The Army took him "as is". I blame the Army and Nation for not bring back the draft to get quality troops needed. The Business people and Politicians are always willing to fight useless wars with other people's children. Draft their kids, assume responsibility for our defense. |
