He was only captured because he abandon his post.
If anything he should be charged for the attempt to locate and rescue him.

Take that money and give it to the family of the dead soldiers families and the wounded who went looking for him. Also it is Pvt (E-1) Bergdahl.

Dems could run him for president in a few years. If he is a convert he’s fully qualified as it will compensate for him being white.

From the moment Bergdahl was captured in 2009, he became eligible for extra compensation available to captured troops, the Army Times BS. Bergdahl was convicted of desertion.
From the DOD Financial Management Regulation Volume 7A Chapter 1:
B. Unauthorized Absence and Desertion
1. Determination by Court-Martial. A member found guilty of unauthorized absence by a court-martial forfeits pay and allowances for the period of absence. An acquittal (or disapproval by the reviewing authority, in case of conviction) affects only the disciplinary aspects of the absence. It does not prevent an administrative determination that the member was absent without leave.

The whole Bergdahl saga is just sick. What has happened to the morals/intergrity/character of our citizenry??? How could ANYONE consider this to be right???

All of his captivity should be considered “bad time” - AWOL/Desertion with no pay due; however, I’m sure that the residue of His Arrogance residing in the Pentagon will find away around the law.

I thought this private had already been given $300,000 he didn’t earn ???
To: Nifster
He wasnt captured. He deserted. Are these people that stupid? Why yes, yes they are. They did not hang him for being a traitor just like not hanging Obama for being a traitor.

Bull crap. Enough for this deserter. He is lucky not to be in prison for the rest of his life.

Citizenry? It’s a PC Army command rolling over here and accepting the outrageous decision by the jag off “judge”.

But he admitted that he deserted.
That would be like walking off the job site and coming back 5 years later wondering where your check was.
Except what he did was worse.

Forfeiture of back pay would be in order. However with a Obama approved Army, God only knows.
