FORT BRAGG, N.C. (AP) — U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who disappeared in Afghanistan in 2009 and was held by the Taliban for five years, appeared Tuesday before a military judge on charges of desertion and misbehavior before the enemy.

Bergdahl was arraigned during a short hearing and deferred entering a plea and did not decide whether he wants to face a court-martial with a jury or one with just a judge. He said little beyond answering "yes" and "no" to questions about whether he understood his rights and the court proceedings.

Wow, a double chance to see if the fix is in.

Second, the military and the muslim slime bottom dwelling t*rd eating POS future target. If they clear him, you know that the military has been totally infiltrated by scum.

Even if he is indicted, he’ll be the first one pardoned when Oscumbag makes mass pardons as he leaves office next year.

I would be willing to trade him for a couple of terrorists, $10 and a goat, but we shouldn't make that our opening offer.

I see he was wearing the CIB (combat infantryman's badge for you non-military types) too.

WTF, did he actually see combat or have they changed the requirements?

He was in a combat zone, I guess. Did Mr. Obama award him the MOH or make him Sergeant Major of the Army yet?

Would not be surprised to hear there is a player-to-be-named-later in there as well.

Mr. Obama could pardon him today, just as Gerald Ford pardoned Richard Nixon before any charges were ever laid on him.
