It has been concluded that Bowe Bergdahl is a deserter:
The Army has decided to charge Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who was released by Taliban-aligned militants last year in exchange for five Guantanamo prisoners, with desertion, according to a former military intelligence officer.Retired Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer, who now works at the London Center for Policy Research, told Fox News' "The O'Reilly Factor" Monday night that he's learned of the military's decision from two sources.
"The Army has come to its conclusion, and Bowe Bergdahl ... will be charged with desertion," he said.
Asked for comment on the claim, Army officials denied that any decision had been made. Spokesman Paul Boyce told Fox News on Tuesday that there is "no change" and that it is an "ongoing review at this time."
Eugene Fidell, Bergdahl's lawyer, did not comment when reached by Fox News.
But Shaffer said Bergdahl's attorney has been given a "charge sheet" outlining the section of the military justice code Bergdahl allegedly violated.
"As a corporate entity, the Army has decided that they want to pursue Bergdahl for this violation," Shaffer said.
This is now an embarrassing albatross around Obama's neck and he wants nothing to do with it. So it's being delayed:
Shaffer said there's a "huge battle" going on inside the Obama administration, as some try to "suppress" this development. "This is shaping up to be a titanic struggle behind the scenes," he said.Shaffer said the Army "wants to do the right thing," but the White House "wants this to go away."
He said: "The White House, because of the political narrative, President Obama cozying up to the parents and because of he, President Obama, releasing the five Taliban ... The narrative is what the White House does not want to have come out."
Bergdahl being a deserter is nothing new to readers of Flopping Aces.
“The horror that is America is disgusting.”– Bowe Bergdahl
That was just for starters:
“The future is too good to waste on lies. And life is way too short to care for the damnation of others, as well as to spend it helping fools with their ideas that are wrong,” Bergdahl reportedly wrote his father. “I have seen their ideas and I am ashamed to even be american (sic). The horror of the self-righteous arrogance that they thrive in. It is all revolting.”He also attacked the army saying it cut down people “for being honest,” and rewarded sycophants. “The title of US soldier is just the lie of fools,” he wrote. “I am sorry for everything here.
Let's recall Obama proudly standing with the parents of Bowe Bergdahl, Bergdahl's father sporting his best jihadi beard.
Obama boasted:

And lets not forget the Marines who died looking for the deserting scumbag.
Barack’s first response will be to get angry that he’s just now learning about this.
Obama rescued a deserter...? Go figure...
Mad Magazine, where are you?
Whatever you and I see as good, he and the left will see as evil, and vice versa.
This is why they absolutely HAD TO choose a scoundrel as their “exchange” vs finding some real upstanding hero to exchange for.
And, of course, we had to give them the TOP AlQ’s, and not some lower level foot soldiers.
The military shows its first big schism with Obama.
Let the fireworks begin.
Everybody is reacting to this news as if he’s actually going to be convicted of something.
I’m sorry I’ll try to be more miserable from now on.
The father is a pos!
Obama is getting kicked from all sides...
The deserter and his terrorist sympathizing father should hang together for Treason.
.....And let them hang there for a couple of weeks so the buzzards can get at’em, or perhaps feed’em to wild boars.
I’m thinking the CiC can shut down this trial with a simple order/memo.
That counts as a win-win for the sobs that Obama fronts for.
How many of our troops died looking for this deserter?
Press blackout!!!
I think 6 died looking for him and there are questions about whether Bergdahl had given his “captors” tactical info to help.
However, there still has been NO official announcement.
Will never get to trial. Bergdahl will claim he is really a woman trapped in a mans body and they will wind up giving him a job on Hillary’s campaign.
Makes Frank Robinson to the Orioles for Milt Pappas, Jack Baldschun and Dick Simpson look good by comparison.
