"The U.S. Army Forces Command's Commanding General referred two charges today, Dec. 14, in the case of United States vs. Sgt. Robert B. Bergdahl to a General Court-Martial," the Army said in a statement.

"The two specific charges referred under the U.S. Armed Forces' Uniform Code of Military Justice are: (1) Article 85: 'Desertion with Intent to Shirk Important or Hazardous Duty;' and (2) Article 99: 'Misbehavior before the Enemy by Endangering the Safety of a Command, Unit or Place,'" the statement added.

Too bad that a firing squad is off the table.

His BS statement of last week probably made the decision easier. He might have skated if he'd just had STFU.

But narcissists have to make everything about them. As it was with Pvt. Manning.

Another reason for Scrobama’s visit to the Pentagon, to plead for leniency?

Obama wants him cleared, will the appointed officers stand for the rule of law instead?

Could Obama issue a pardon for this guy and spare him the court martial?

This really surprises me. They should also nail him for I.D. theft. He’s not Jason Bourne. He’s Blinky Bergdahl.

I wondered about that. Doesn't someone need to be convicted of a crime before they can receive a pardon?

Seems Bergdahl’s mother was a little too quick to let Obummer play graba$$. Sorry ma’am, but junior’s about to get married to the guy in Leavenworth with the most cigarettes.

Yes. He’ll probably delay it until after the election and then I suspect he’ll pardon a whole lot of people.
