The decision to refer the case of Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl to a general court martial on charges of desertion by Gen. Robert B. Abrams, the head of Army Forces Command at Ft. Bragg, N.C., shows there remains at least one general not cowed by President Obama's purge of command officers deemed insufficiently subservient to his policies of appeasement and unilateral disarmament. As Breitbart reported:
Bergdahl, who was kidnapped by the Taliban following his abandonment of a forward operating base in Afghanistan, was charged this year with desertion and misbehavior before the enemy. If charged with the latter, he could potentially face life in prison. If charged with only desertion, he faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison.
I hope that he will face life in prison and is lucky a firing squad is not in the cards. It was not what President Obama, who welcomed the parents of deserter Bergdahl to the White House Rose Garden to cheer the alleged good news of the return of the deserter six other soldiers died looking for, wanted to hear. President Obama, who said we traded five Taliban commanders for Bergdahl because we leave no soldier behind, has had no regrets about leaving former Marine Amir Hekmati a prisoner in Iran. Nor did he raise a finger as Andrew Tahmooressi was left to rot in a Mexican prison for taking the wrong exit.

BERGDAHL COURT MARTIAL PING
Thanks for the ping!
BOWE BERGDAHL COURT MARTIAL PING
Everyone on the prosecution is out of work very very soon.
A career can be ended without the need for promotion. The military is being purged. He obviously does not fit in the fundamentally transformed military.
Thanks PROCON.
Bergdahl ping.
Another Sobieski, defending against islam
They’ll name a tank after this guy...oh wait.
The exchange of 5 high value Gitmo terrorists for the traitor Bergdahl was just an excuse to help him empty Gitmo.
And an opportunity to help the enemy.
How many Christians have been killed because of the terrorists 0bama has released?
I have heard that 1.3mm Christians have died in the Middle East since 2003, 5-600K since ISIS appeared as the next incarnation of Al Qaeda.
0bama has rescued how many? Admitted how many to the US? Fed how many?

Excellent points.
And I believe he’s going to do things before he leaves that will make what he’s done up till now look tame.
Article, then # 1 , # 2 , # 31 .
Promoted, no. Unfortunately, he could be cashiered like MacArthur was (without any statement one way or the other on whether that was justified).
Yep. His days are numbered in office (legally, if you want to call it that). He will do all he can to advance his agenda, by whatever means he can muster.
I thought about that, but then I wondered- Can a charged individual be pardoned before the conviction? The photoshop president has about 13 months left in office (maybe). If the trial or court martial does not occur before 01/20/2017, can he be pardoned by obama?
I’ve thought for a while that there is going to be some kind of showdown with him. I’m probably wrong.
A major incident of defiance on the part of the people he is supposed to serve could be the excuse he would need to extend his term indefinitely.
While that would be casus belli, that would further his aims of destruction and chaos as well, and pit large groups against each other.
For him, that would be the bees' knees, just going by his accomplishments so far.
That’s more of a possibility or probability every day. We can put nothing past him.
If we knew what goes on behind the scenes..........
Nixon. Yes they can.
