Deal for Bowe Bergdahl looks worse and worse
NY Post ^ | October 16, 2017 | Paul Sperry

The American soldier President Obama portrayed as a heroic POW of the Taliban and traded five jailed Taliban leaders for his release now looks more like the man President Trump called a “no-good traitor” who should “have been executed.”

On Monday, Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl admitted deserting his Afghan post as well as misbehaving before the enemy and endangering fellow troops, confirming the betrayal several veterans who served alongside him have alleged for years. Though capital punishment is not in the offing, he does face life in prison at his sentencing later this month.

Bergdahl’s plea sets up a pre-sentence trial starting Oct. 23 at Fort Bragg that’s expected to include dramatic testimony about three troops seriously injured during search-and-rescue missions launched to find him. Two of them suffered disabling injuries: Army National Guard Sgt. 1st Class Mark Allen, who in 2009 was shot in the head searching for Bergdahl, leaving him confined to a wheelchair and unable to talk; and Navy SEAL Jimmy Hatch, who was shot in the leg on another search the next day, leaving him with a permanent limp.

To garner sympathy from the sentencing judge, Bergdahl’s defense team is expected to play up his alleged mental health problems, including what they claim is paranoia and schizophrenia.

However, Army shrinks found Bergdahl does not suffer from psychological problems that would prevent him from standing trial. And last month, Bergdahl’s lawyers failed to produce for prosecutors mental health records and other evidence detailing any serious condition.

What’s more, Army security officials say Bergdahl exhibited no signs of mental illness since being assigned Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, where he is based. In fact, one fort insider told me that when Bergdahl is not working a desk job in administration, he “regularly bowls” at the post lanes

Considering what Obama has done to America, calling someone who betrayed his country to the enemy a hero makes sense. In Obama's world giving freedom to Taliban members and rescuing a traitor is a win-win.

I hope he does serve time, and when he's murdered in prison by some other jackoff, let it happen under a Demwit POTUS, I mean, if we have any more oof those.

"The American soldier President Obama portrayed as a heroic POW of the Taliban..."

Obama....some legacy, eh? Eight long years in office, and never got a single thing right. Not one.

Also, don’t forget the little smile that momentarily swept across Soetoro’s face when Bergdahl’s father spoke Arabic.

Prison ?

Rope is cheap, and it's what both those maggots have traitorously earned.

That’s a soft way of saying “committing treason” and joining up with the enemy in a time of war.

“misbehaving before the enemy” makes it sound like a schoolboy prank or having a queer romance.

The traitor converted to *slam and by that very act renounced his citizenship in the USA and joined a political movement that has as its goal the destruction of this country and the imposition of a theocratical totalitarian dictatorship, and bammy praised him.

Both should be in prison.

Just another case of traitor Barack Obama aiding and abetting the Islamist enemies of America.

A simple search of the old man’s cell phone and email records would probably show that he was in contact with his son all those years.......It’s no coincidence he converted to Islam and learned the language.

The Bergdahls....a totally repulsive US hating family who embraced muzzies and spit on our country. Bammy embraced them at the WH, fondled mommie’s ass as daddy spoke in muzzie tongues. What a total pos bammy and his minions are...including the MSM.

Its just a guess but I can see him getting 8-10 years confinement, reduction in grade to E-1, forfeiture of all pay and allowances and a dishonorable discharge.

His Comander in Chief is just as guilty and should serve every day Bergdahl does.

Oh, but he does have a mental illness, Your Honor! He has congenital liberal progressivist regression from his quisling traitor parents!
