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.
What I found interesting, the Pentagon was the last to know.....just wow! Why was Ft. Bragg making the announcement? Also, Col. King arrived exactly at 15:30, not an hour later like the POTUS. Col. King is a respectful leader, the latter, not so much.
