Whatever happened to being executed for deserting your post, in war time, in a war zone? I don’t get it. The military has become a bastion of political suck ups at the top, allowing for division and conquer by the elitist, leftist creeps in the White House during this administration and the boy clinton administration. Thanks to the media, that’s all they hype on is the perverts, queers and whack jobs that manage to stay in the military and make the other 99% look bad. Deliver us Oh Lord from this madness. The rest of the world must truly laugh at us. Pray for the families who lost loved ones searching for bergdahl to “rescue” him from the enemy. They are the ones who deserve sympathy and compensation, not this traitor. We are living in the Twilight Zone with two years to go, unless he declares himself emperor.

And yet this is who Obama was willing to trade for terrorists in order to rescue. It’s only because he’s a Muslim did he do that.

Can Obama pardon him? If so, I'll bet he will.

He should not get life in prison.

He should be executed immediately. They should have held a field court-martial the moment they got their hands on him and had a summary execution on the spot.

What did President Obama know and when did he know it? Returning Al Qaeda officers to the battlefield for a known deserter/traitor was an act of treason.

I say impeach him after he leaves office. strip him of his legacy, strip him of his 10 years of post-office checks.

It wouldn’t be accomplished in the time remaining before he leaves office. He just ran out the clock on Bergdahl with 10 months of delay. He knew the score long before this.

Most comments I’ve heard from those closest to him indicate he didn’t just desert his post, but he chose to commit treason by seeking out the enemy to join their cause.

Good discipline of he service would have demanded immediate court martial upon his return, rather than promoting distrust of seniors in the chain of command.

Guilty or not, the court martial preserves justice rather than attacking the defendant’s character.

After seeing his parents with their President repeatedly since Bergdahls release, I tend to be a little more charitable toward him.

He’ll get to stay in the Lincoln bedroom for the next 2 years.

If a judge sets his sentence he might get less. A jury panel almost certainly full of WOT vets won't go so easy on him.

I sat on a Court Martial of an NCO who was technically guilty but we chose "nullification" and he was acquitted.

The military judge was PISSED and gave our foreman (LTC) hell but nothing he could do about it.

Just saying it would be much easier for the Marxist, Mooslim, Kenyan, Steaming Pant Load Sissy Boy to influence one vs many....

He should be returned to ISIS as a women for a proper execution. And even that is to good for him.

we traded some of the worst human debris for him only to find out what everyone suspected. He is human debris himself.

Barack Obama and Bowe Bergdahl share the same worldview.

Obama’s foreign policy should be called the “Bergdahl/Obama doctrine”.

The symmetry between Bergdahl’s and Obama’s desertions is instructive.

“What difference at this point does it make?”..

Odumbo will most likely pardon him anyway to save face for having made such a BAD swap deal and hosting that huge photo-op spectacle when the Bergdahl’s were paraded all over the WH.

Unless they can get the court martial and execution done before the pardons fly..

Sure you can pardon a dead man. But he is still dead.
