I suppose hanging is too good for him, shoot him.

He walked away and hung out with the Taliban. They traded 5 Gitmo detainees for him. His sentence needs to be death by a single shooter with a pellet gun, starting with his feet and working upward. With a lunch break at the beltline.

Bammy will probably pardon him as soon as he can.

The WP reports Bergdahl’s interview story as though it were fact. IIRC the people in his squad said he was a leftist with enmity towards the army if not sympathy for the enemy. He deserted and he got people killed looking for him. Guy should be on the end of a rope as far as I am concerned.

I guess he should have kept his mouth shut last week.

Resulting in the death of his squad mates. My hope is that he’s executed for desertion. None of this LWOP.

Other soldiers died because they were looking for him so he is complicit in those deaths and should merit a capital case. This is no different than the felony murder statutes where an armed robbery goes bad, store clerk gets killed, and the getaway driver faces a felony murder charge. I know this concept is not within the UCMJ so they should be working on some kind of capital charge: desertion in the face of the enemy, treason, etc.
After we finish with him, Obama should be next on the list for releasing those Gitmo prisoners without Congressional review, as required by law.

I’d suggest a pay-for-view execution of this cretin.

I am amazed the Obama military is actually going to court martial him.
They must have run out of other options.
To: T-Bird45
Yep, sure feel sorry for those poor men and their families.

I would fly to wherever they did it and pay to sit in to watch the drop. The military still hangs, doesn’t it?

Fidell said. âWe again ask that Donald Trump cease his prejudicial months-long campaign of defamation against our client. Donald Trump wasn't even running for Prez when the majority of Americans made up their minds that Bergdahl is a POS, like his Muzzie lovin' father and the Muzzie who paraded them around the Rose Garden.
Obama is the one who made this political instead of just a dumb ass move to empty GITMO and put terrorists back on the battlefield

I had a feeling that interview wouldn’t go down well with the top brass.
