I hope this is a career ended for the judge. No star for you, chump!

And one can only hope the stinking deserter will get the full measure of “barracks justice.”

This prick needs to be dead like yesterday. As Commander in Chief, Trump should quietly clean house in the military starting at the very top and create a special space for the JAG corp in Gitmo. First step is all muslims on active duty are gone by midnight. Next, all sexual deviants gone by Monday morning.

How about the 6 soldiers who were KIA searching for him? Will the judge reduce their sentences to WIA?

The judge, Col. Jeffery Nance, had wide discretion in determining a sentence for Bergdahl, who walked off his military post in Afghanistan in 2009 and was held by the Taliban for five years. He could have given him anything from no prison time to life in prison. …
Is this Nance an Obamaite officer? He had the nerve to bring Trump into his judging, which may be criminal in and of itself.

In prison, he would have got a place to sleep, 3 meals a day and medical care.

As a deserter with a Dishonorable Discharge, he had better hope his parents live a long time to support him.
