FORT BRAGG, N.C. — In an unexpected move, Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl took the stand in his sentencing hearing Monday, breaking down several times and apologizing to those who were wounded while searching for him after he abandoned his post in Afghanistan.
"I was trying to do something good and it turned bad," Bergdahl said, reading from a statement at the beginning of his testimony. "My words alone can't relieve the pain. ... I think about what I did every day for the last eight years."
Aside from when Bergdahl pleaded guilty to desertion and misbehavior before the enemy, it was the first time the courtroom had heard from him. His appearance came as a surprise to courthouse reporters, who were told another witness would be testifying Monday afternoon.

This cowardly traitor cost 'many' a soldiers life and their families....
...These brave soldiers "died" looking for traitor Bergdahl....
.... These animalsm pictured below, 'lived' for the coward Bergdahl's freedom... to continue killing our soldiers ..The president of USA is required by law to give 30-days' notice before freeing any prisoners held in the war on terror from the military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Obama broke the law.... No notice was given when five Taliban leaders were exchanged for Bergdahl's release....
...And Obama is responsible for the entire ordeal...

Execute him . . . If you don't, then some DemoRat will pardon him someday
indeed
To: caww
What he did is a good argument for why the framers required that candidates for the presidency be natural born citizens.
No American-born president would have approved this deal.

That’s right! I heard it on Fox News radio today at the top of the hour, talking about the men who were wounded looking for him—not a word about the men that were killed!

I think you are confusing this traitor with the traitor Bradley Manning.

“”I was trying to do something good and it turned bad,” Bergdahl said”
Classic treason rationale when caught.
Seriously - hang him.
