Bowe Bergdahl = Rachel Corrie in camo
They were mean to poor Bowe.
If he can be believed it was only AFTER they had treated him so nicely and AFTER he betrayed their kindnesses by trying to escape, that they then put him in a cage where he should have been in the first place.
A Pardon would imply assumed guilt, especially in this case.
What you say is true. Notwithstanding that, there is a term for that and it is called “undue and improper command influence.” Commanders at all levels are not to be seen as improperly influeincing the normal disciplinary processes untill the matter comes to their attention through normal command channels.
I know that this wont stop an evil malevolent POS like Obama, but we can at least highlight any such impropriety, and add it on the mountain of Obama depradations and grotesqueries.
Hi NAV, you may be right. We’ll see.
I’ve discussed this with my Captain Nephew, going back to Afghanistan on June 21, and he thought that Generals would be much more influenced by retired Generals like Keane and Mattes. BTW, he participated in the search for bergdahl when he was there in 2010 and 2011.

He will be ruled incompetent to face courts martial, given a general discharge and sent on his way (keeping his pay).
Look for a plea of PTS, caused by his military service.
We’ll keep your nephew in our prayers. This tour will be much more dangerous.
There is a reason why every natural born American citizen knows the name; Benedict Arnold.
Thus it will be with Bergdahl...
Thank you NVA (I’m old enough to feel awkward about that acronym).
My nephew was back home for the funeral of his G’ma (and my mother). We didnt have a lot of time to talk, but i make the best of what is available. I’ll go to Fort Hood next week to talk further.
My speculation is that he will be there until the total withdrawal. When he was in country before, he shared events with me that he didn’t share with his parents. He was afraid of frightening them. He, and his soldiers encountered IEDs daily. One flipped his APC and he lost his hearing for 6 days. He has a slight hearing loss now.
Our brave servicemen/women are much to be admired. If we can rid ourselves of the politicians/bureaucrats, our country is in good hands.
