Obviously he meant to refer to Lt. Col. Mark Visger (above) who, as has been widely reported, originally "decided Bergdahls case should go to a military system similar to civilian courts that handle misdemeanor charges. It limits the maximum punishment to reduction of rank, a bad conduct discharge and a short jail term..."
As you point out General Abrams wasn't having any of that.
Probably a reason that this Lieutenant Colonel will never be called General. But, he was the Article 32 Investigating Officer who performs functions similar to a Grand Jury. He examines the evidence, considers the circumstances and determines if the evidence warrant court martial. He can recommend the type of Court Martial, but the Convening Authority makes the call. This guy is likely watching network news more than he ought to do.
This is why Hillary would have wanted to join the Marines, so she could pad her resume and do sh!t similar to this.
