Maj. Gen. Kenneth Dahl could have had a desk waiting for him in the Pentagon in the summer of 2014 when the Army asked him to figure out why Bowe Bergdahl deserted his combat outpost in Afghanistan.
Dahl passed on the offer. He thought he had a better chance of finding the truth by taking his work back to Joint Base Lewis-McChord, where he was the deputy commanding general of its I Corps headquarters.
That decision was the first step in a two-month investigation at JBLM during which he interviewed 57 people and pulled together a team of 22 soldiers to help him understand the pressures troops faced on the ground in Afghanistan during Bergdahl’s fateful deployment.
“I thought it would be better to go back, you know, sort of separate ourselves from the noise and work with a team of people that I already knew,” Dahl said in court.
His investigation is not classified, but the Army has refused to release it to the public. Dahl opened a window on it last month at Bergdahl’s first pretrial hearing, where he testified he did not believe the Afghanistan War’s most famous deserter should receive a jail sentence on top of the five years he spent in Taliban captivity.
“I do not believe that there is a jail sentence that is at the end of this procedure,” Dahl said.

What a disgrace!
Meanwhile, Kim Davis went to jail in Kentucky...
I remember reading that Gen. Patton despised “Stars and Stripes” during WWII.
The “general” wants to keep his career as one of Obama/Jarrett’s perfumed princesses.
Shoot that MF at sun rise like he deserves!!
What an incredible disgrace the armed forces have become under Obama. Where are the generals who should have resigned
with the rape of the military? No one will stand up and say this is outrages. No guts no glory.
The Military has truly gone to hell. It should not matter WHY he did it. The fact remains he did.
I’m sure the men who died looking for the deserter would have a much different opinion, Major General.
Didn’t you get the memo? Treason and desertion are patriotic in the soebarkah administration.
They used to shoot traitors....this general should be included in the list
Funny that the Obama administration considers Bergdahl a good whistleblower while we know they have gone after more than all previous administrations combined. (per Jake Tapper)
Bergdahl ping.
Let me guess...that third star is just around the corner.
There is something far deeper and more sinister behind the Bergdahl incident than we are learning. That whole White House love fest with the father speaking Arabic and Obama groping the mother was just too bizarre.
Does anyone here on FR think that if Trump became POTUS we would see any of these outrageous miscarriages of military justice corrected?
He would be torn to shreds (daily) by the media in a way Bush could never have imagined.
Patton also hated Willie and Joe, slovenly and unsoldierly in attire and actions.
The ones who should have resigned, are Nobama butt boys. The ones who DID retire, are the good ones, who would not do well under Nobama.
The military ,sir, is headed by faggot loving maggots. I love women — often— . They can’t do combat.
Robert Redford’s putting out a new film called, “Bergdahl- War Hero”..
Stars, percs, and retirement funds mean very much to a large number of Us military personal today. There are few Pattons today.
