The sentence the military judge will impose on Tali-Bowe Bergdahl isn’t about one self-centered deserter. It’s about our national defense. The judge’s decision will decide the state of discipline on battlefields for decades to come. Bergdahl has been charged with desertion and misbehavior before the enemy. He has pleaded guilty to both charges.
There are no mitigating circumstances.
He must be punished, for his crimes and to make an example of him.
Yet, the American left, which has had only two military heroes since 9/11 (Bergdahl and Chelsea Manning), continues to embrace Bergdahl’s very tall tale that he only meant to stroll a dozen or so miles through hostile territory to the next military base so he could report on conditions is his unit—which Bergdahl found unsatisfactory. Based upon the evidence available to this writer, Bergdahl intended to go over to the enemy, whom he had expected to welcome him.
Bergdahl will never be commemorated for his judgment or analytical skills.
The left, exemplified by former President Obama’s White House celebration for the Bergdahls after he gave up five terrorists and, reportedly, cash for their traitor-son, has never grasped why anyone would join our military—a domain of brutes, illiterates, psychopaths and “deplorables.” But leftists do understand why soldiers would desert or betray our country by revealing our secrets.

He will receive a soft 15 year sentence and he will be pardoned by the next Democratic president under the guise of unity.
We sure have gotten cynical
we will just have to see to it there is no dem president before his sentence is up :)
...he only meant to stroll a dozen or so miles through hostile territory to the next military base so he could report on conditions is his unit—which Bergdahl found unsatisfactory.
Unmitigated Bullshit. LOCK HIM UP...for a very long time.
Bronc0 is not showing up as a character witness for his hero Bergdahl?
He should be shot.
He must stand in front of the firing squad.
How about sentencing him to Guantanamo ... and receive whatever treatment his fellow prisoners there have undergone?
Firing squad.
Prediction:
Time served, comes out of the closet a lgbtqxyzwhatever and a ticker tape parade thru SanFransicko.
Tali-Bowe?
Peters voted for Hillary. His opinions are BS. They don’t need to be posted on FR. He’s dead to me.
“Peters voted for Hillary. His opinions are BS. They don’t need to be posted on FR. He’s dead to me”.
Peters is right on this one. What part of what he said about this is BS?
I could care less about debating any of his opinions. He is a jerk.
I have always thought that Peters was a butt Pirate, He has not shown any reason to believe his judgement is worthy of consideration.
I agree that he’s a jerk but he was right on this. I wasn’t asking for a debate at all. I was wondering what you found wrong on what he said.
In 2006, Bergdahl entered basic training in the United States Coast Guard but was discharged after 26 days for psychological reasons and received an "uncharacterized discharge".[2]
In 2008, Bergdahl enlisted in the United States Army and graduated from the Infantry School at Fort Benning, Georgia.[1] He was then assigned to the 1st Battalion, 501st Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division, based at Fort Richardson, Alaska.[20]
Good article. Thanks for sharing. I agree completely with what was said. I sincerely hope he gets a stiff sentence, one that will (maybe) convince others in the future that deserting is not a good choice.
