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:

I’ve always claimed that guy was a traitor. Impeachment is too good for him. As CIC, he should be court marshalled.
Can we say Presidential pardon???
Hopefully all the lower officers and unlisted will agree, otherwise, it will be short.
Not only did they vote for him, they worship the ground he pisses on.
Liberalism is a mental disorder. The liberals in my family just love him. They love him so much they think his wife should be the first female president and prefer her over Hillary. And when it comes to politics, they say I am “out there”.
