“Captivity” didn’t look too bad for this traitor. He looked well fed and fit.

this is someone who was held...for five years by terrorists. Is that not – this is what some say – is that not punishment enough?

Typical shallow thinking by an airhead. What does she know about the conditions of his "captivity"? Perhaps she has more information than I do and, if that's the case, she should so state. However, in the absence of that information, he may have been treated like royalty. Given what I know about the situation, which is admittedly imperfect, I think he's guilty of desertion and treason warrant more punishment than being "held" for 5 years. I'd even add punishment for Obozo for making the trade in the first place.

Correction: By repealing don’t ask don’t tell obamalamadingdong essentially said it’s ok to “never leave your buddy’s behind.”

Big difference between never leaving a Patriotic American behind and never leaving your buddy’s behind...

Alot more captivity should be enough.

I was wondering how long it would take the libs to start screaming “Hasn’t he suffered enough!?!”

But the second part of this equation, did he openly and willingly collaborate with his captors?

This would shift the narrative a great deal.

And there would STILL be people who would want to give Bergdahl the benefit of the doubt.

Yes captivity is “punishment enough”. When he dies in prison, that will be enough.

He wasn;t a captive.

He was a defector.

It is enough when he faces a firing squad and is carried away in a pine box.

No. The moozlum traitor should be hung in public.

No, he should be tried for treason. How do we know what went on in those years? Was he really a captive? Others died due to that nut.
