FORT BRAGG, N.C. (AP) — A military officer testified Monday that he saw another soldier shot in the head during the 2009 search for U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who's accused of endangering his comrades when he walked off his post in Afghanistan.

The testimony came at a pretrial hearing at which an Army judge also agreed to delay Bergdahl's trial by several months until May 15, 2017.

Prosecutors are arguing that the judge should allow evidence of two wounded soldiers' injuries into the case to help them show that Bergdahl's disappearance effectively put other military members in harm's way.

Trump baiting.

As President, they will drag him into this because of his stand for the military.

Any time after Jan 20 would be a good time to resume the trial.

Maybe after all is said and done, charges of Treason will finally be leveled against BHO for this travesty.

Didn’t he put his unit in harm’s way, by default?

If his platoon normally had, say, 40 people, in order to carry out its mission...wouldn’t knocking that number down to 39 imperil his other platoon members?

Yep, I believe the court-martial panel is more likely to reach a fair verdict of guilty without 0bama’s influence.

He absolutely did in my view, as well as putting them in peril looking for the traitor.

Those delays didnt take into account his new commander in chief. Watch for Obama to pardon this trash before he leaves.

Sadly the max penalty in this case is life in prison.

Oblama kissing Berdahl's arse then IGNORING Sgt. Tahmooressi jailed in Mexico SPEAKS VOLUMES..

Oblama pardoning Bergdahl will show every American what a POS we had in office for the past 8 years.

It's not about just numbers. IIRC, he was on perimeter watch (guard duty) when he walked away and left his post.
Had the enemy been aware of that gap, they could have attacked w/o resistance and caused much death and destruction.
