I doubt if the WH ever knew the entire story on Bergdahl or discussed the matter with the Army prior to proceeding.
I’d also suggest this...if this goes to a court martial and he’s convicted...getting twenty-odd years, then I might expect him to do himself in. He’s extremely fragile and not able to handle any normal circumstance that people face. He should have gotten that message after the Coast Guard dismissed him from training...but apparently, he just wasn’t bright enough to figure that out.
I imagine there is an internal struggle.
The military wants to try him for desertion and aiding the muslim enemy.
Obama probably wants to award him a medal for the exact same acts.
I am betting he wont do any hard time. I think his attorney will plea bargain a Guilty plea in exchange for a reduction to Pvt E-1, forfeiture of all pay and allowances and a less than Honorable discharge (perhaps Dishonorable)but no confinement. Anybody want to take bets?
Once again...releasing Taliban commanders to plot and kill Americans again is AIDING the enemy. This is treason.
Arrest. Try. Convict. Administer proper punishment for treason.
Impeachment is NOT an option.
Not that the media (even Fox that I can recall) site the death toll of this POS pResident anymore, like they did with Bush.
When the sh!t storm comes in force from this farce, there will be many a story of ‘How did *this* happen?’ and nary a finger pointed to the occupant of the White House.
For one thing, the ratio of prisoner exchange was VERY lopsided. That alone established a very bad precedent.
Now five prisoners may be sprung from Gitmo for every casual prisoner taken by various factions of Islamic Jihadist terrorists.
And now, having gotten Bergdahl back, it was no heroic plus for our side, as he had little to recommend him for any honors or decorations. In fact, he may have not even have been held to the provisions of the UCMJ, as regards the behavior of captured military personnel while a prisoner.
UCMJ spells out very specifically, the captured service member may only provide name, rank, and serial number when captured, and imparting of any additional information, as to assigned unit, probable mission of that unit, or names of other members of that unit, are all prohibited.
Was Bergdahl guilty of any of this behavior, or not?
Kabuki theatre...and then he’ll get a pardon if anything.
Obola is an undocumented-Moslem
documented-traitor pRes_ _ent,
... and the EXEMPT US Congress does NOTHING.
I never knew someone could be dismissed from the Coast Guard, then sign up for the Army. Seems there should be a way to prevent people like him from joining after the first attempt in another service.
Something has to topple this regime, it is run by amateurs and held together with press clippings, any strong political wind should have blown it away by now. I think it is a form of “beginners luck” that it still stands, though wobbles. Gust after political gust comes and it barely hangs in. I predict one day soon, something, maybe not large, will come along and the house of cards will flutter down. Maybe this is it? (But I’ve said that to myself so many times in the past 6 long years.)
Does anyone know if Bergdahl ever contacted his parents? Back when he was released last Spring, I heard he wouldn’t even call them. Weird.
Given that the father decided to learn the language of that Afghanistan territory, if one could access his cell phone records and email accounts they would likely discover that he had been in contact with Bowe and the “captors” since the day he deserted.......
NO!
Many don’t know this but the MAJOR reason Japanese were rounded up in WWII was for prisoner exchange. In fact the Japanese govt insisted on this for their protection.
Maybe we better round up more Muslims?
OBAMA = TRAITOR = BERGDAHL
if this puke did himself in it would be a good thing.
When my son enlisted he had to provide a letter from his Navy ROTC chain saying he had good service. Although he was applying for a competitive MOS.
