New York Times Writer Wonders if Bowe Bergdahl Will Get Honorable Discharge
NewsBusters ^ | March 25, 2015 | P.J. Gladnick

New York Times writer Helene Cooper must be posting her articles from an alternate reality. It is the only conclusion that one can reach when reading her reaction to the announcement today that Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, who was swapped last year for five Guantanamo prisoners, will be charged with desertion.

So what is a major concern for Cooper? It is her speculation as to whether Bergdahl can still get an honorable discharge if found guilty and if not, how that will affect his job opportunities. I kid you not. Try not to slap your head too hard in exasperation while reading Cooper's bizarre concern:

A complete divorce from reality....


It’s their “Embrace of uncertainty”.

In their mind, “Certainty” on virtually ever issue is flawed.

Certainty is racist, homophobic, sexist, bigoted, discrimination, xenophobic, Un-scientific, biased, born of white privileged, un-PC, hateful, judgmental, short-sighted and must be stopped.

Still?! “Honourable Discharge” and “Desertion” is literally a black/white comparison.

Unfortunately this is not a divorce with reality. It is blatant and complete ignorance of things military by the reporter.

Not really a surprise though. Only 1% of the population serves currently and you can bet they are not libs or sons and daughters of libs with the exception of that fat pig rosie o'donnell's son.

Only because you qualified them as “removed”. We currently have an impeached president living nicely off of the public trough.

John Kerry, Jane Fonda and Bill Clinton promoted Treason to honorable status years ago. To be charged as a traitor is the highest distinction a democrat can attain.

Of course not. The best he could hope for is discharge in lieu of trial, Under Other Than Honorable Conditions.

That’s what you do when the time and effort to try the case just isn’t worth it. Not the case here; I’d be shocked if they went that route.

I hope he does not get all the back-pay that initially was disclosed that he was owed...Wonder how many soldiers died because this guy aided the enemy :(

And I remember how MSM attacked his other platoon members who came out and said he was a deserter. They are owed a huge apology!

The New York Times needs to bring back the ‘women’s section’ of the paper... Then Helene Cooper could use her immense intellect to inform readers of ten ways to keep their husbands happy... or how to stretch the family food budget...

"Poor NYT writers. "

Not just writers. This passed across a bunch of editor's desks, too.

I have never been so proud to have torn up years of solicitations from the NY Times to restart my subscription as today. The paper really is run by idiots.

If Obama had an idiot sister....

This clueless twit ranks right up there on a level with Hank “will Guam tip over?” Johnson and Sheila “can you see the US flag on Mars?” Jackson-Lee.

This writer is too stupid to work anywhere but the NYT, so her employment is secure. By any chance, does she hoard cats, too?

If he's convicted, our (p)resident Obambi Valerie Jarrett will pardon him. Any bets?

“Impeached and removed Presidents, do not receive pensions.”

Perhaps pension was a poor choice of words, but according to several sources Bill Clinton has received almost $10 million over the last 9 years (not including secret service protection).
