Well, I suppose being a deserter and a coward is quite a distinction, but probably not one most people covet to have associated with them...
I’m sure the Mufti in Chief will grant him a presidential pardon
These Military guys just pissed off 0bama in a big way.
I’m actually both surprised and hopeful at the same time.
SCREW YOU OBAMA!!!....What else could we expect? A traitor releases a traitor for five terrorists...FUBO!!!
I'm hoping that whatever they stick him with that it might be that which a Presidential Pardon couldn't touch...Don't know if that's possible though.
Roger, that!
Charges should be brought against Obama for releasing 5 "terrorist detainees" in exchange for this dirt-bag loser.
Definitely a step in considering OBAMA'S accountability and state of mind, as well as Bergdahl's.
On the 5 ???
That was said in sarcasm because of the video that was suppose to have caused Benghazi...
Should Obama grant Bird-dog a Presidential Pardon...do the families of those who’s sons died or were maimed searching for him have any recourse to press charges?
I ask this because a Presidential Pardon is a “Federal” pardon.....so would they have recourse??????
Ok...thanks...missed the Sarc/
I tried to find out June 2014, but couldn't. Abdullah Abdullah, and a couple others out of Kabul (Pashtun), that I could ID, but that's it.
Omar will probably be there one day after the Paki Taliban (and ISS) have their way.
Last thing I'll say, our enemies don't fear us, and our allies don't trust us.
Sad.

My memory says that, like in a civilian court, it has to be a jury of his peers, so there must be at least one enlisted member on the court martial. I think that can be satisfied by appointing any level enlisted member to include a sergeant major. Memory also says it does not have to be unanimous except if the death penalty is imposed.

The military had to charge Bergdahl with desertion or risk the breakdown of their command structure and discipline.
Scripted photo-op.
Unfortunately the President can pardon anyone he likes. He can even pardon Hillary Clinton for any crimes she may have committed while serving as Secretary of State, so that she doesn’t have criminal charges hanging over her head during the 2016 presidential campaign.
Welcome home Bowe.You finally had arrived.
Which do you want me to explain?
1. The Army went out on a limb charging him with both desertion and misbehavior.
2. I agree with you and hopefully our fellow Freepers will realize that.
#1 — I am sure that there was tremendous political pressure for either MG Dahl to not bring any charges or for Sec Army McHugh to quash any announcement/report that would bring doubt on President 0bama in declaring him a hero and to have served with honor.
#2 — There were many derogatory comments on how the Army would whitewash the entire Bergdahl affair and not bring him up for any type of charges that would lead to court martial.
Bergdahl now
His father
