You are 100% correct. A rebellion is needed - the Rubicon needs to be crossed.

We live in a bizarre time when this individual and his loony father are celebrated at the White House, Iran is coveted, and Israel is under attack by our own White House....and few seem to give a damn.

If he claims he’s “a woman trapped in a man’s body,” will he get leniency?

Help me out with Court Martial specifics. I know the jury is made up of staff officers. Does the verdict have to be unanimous, majority or what?

Good. I must say I’m surprised. I thought he’d be cleared since the betrayer-in-chief paid such a high ransom for him. I figured they wouldn’t want the WH embarrassed and would just show Bergdahl did nothing wrong.

Don't underestimate that word “Misbehavior” and what it really covers. I heard some one talk about this earlier today...and this covers even the most despicable behavior.....they aren't going to reveal the specifics at this time for obvious reasons.

After the Article 32 hearing...

I wonder if the Army can finally stop calling this deserter “Sargent”...

And a bigger stretch would be if the media picks up on that, if it ever happens...

......”They used him to release five scumbags!”....

Yes! Obama did this because he hasn’t been able to close Gitmo so he’s simply using any means to clear these thugs out to satisfy his Muslim friends and his base, who wanted to see it closed.

Obama’s doing this in every area he’s being stopped...using backdoor methods to do what he wants regardless of the outcome or the dangers he puts this nation in.

Obama will just release him as one of his “get out of jail free” under ‘Presidential Pardon’ at the end of his term.
Was probably mentioned in whatever deal was offered the creep since he knows well he deserted and more ...

Great question. So now they have charged him for what we have already known and yet men died trying to rescue this scumbag and other terrorists were freed. Yep don;t expect to see this on the evening news and mentioning these points .

Predictable. So we gave up 5 enemy generals for a deserter?! Wonder if he will be charged?

More importantly, wonder if this will come back on the regime?
