I'd fully expect that a senior NCO would be tougher on him than the commissioned officers would be.
I want to know why he has not yet been executed for desertion. Too bad this is not declared war wherein he might be. Maybe he can go to prison for a very, very long time.
If “Sergeant” (read: Private Scumbag) Bergdahl is not in pretrial confinement — and I don’t think he is — my guess is he takes his life when/if things go badly for him during the court martial. Get on with it, already.
He’s NOT a deserter, he’s a DEFECTOR to the enemy. If he was a deserter the Taliban would have killed him. Instead he joined them then the hatched this plan which the traitor Obama was party to, to free 5 Taliban commanders
POS must have had some advice that trying the same with this traitor would not fly well. About time the military started showing some backbone int the face of an anti-US fraud.
It would be a major problem to overcome for the defense if he asks for NCOs to be part of the panel. These would be likely 20-year guys, with combat experiences in Afghanistan and Iraq. Their general behavior would be that you don’t screw up like this, under any reason. I would stick with officers and hope that one or two youthful guys might be on the panel, with limited or no combat experience.
Hang him already along side Obama
I feel awful for people who lose grown/adult children. Not so in the case of Pasto speaking Daddy Bergdahl. I’d like to see Bowe go.
Public hanging
Public hanging
Good news indeed
This is the kind of news that reassures us the entire military has not lost its way. After reading this, there’s a high probability that Bergdahl will get what he deserves.
Same here. Why does it take so long???
So many insiders who know the true story & yet they remain silent. I don’t know how they live with themselves.
ALL I had to see to KNOW he was a deserter was when he was sitting in that truck and that Muslim man PATTED him on the chest in a very fatherly and friendly way.....it was SO CLEARLY a SAD parting for both of then since Boey was CRYING!
Time was when deserters like Bergdahl would have promptly faced a firing squad.
weren’t there deaths during the search for him?
my guess is that he leaves the country. His family has assets.
I would like to see an investigation into whether the whole thing was planned in advance. I.e., did he go over there fully intending to desert and seek out the enemy? Was he some sort of “agent” planted in the military to do exactly what he did? If so, who was behind it? (I’m assuming 0vomit.)
An operation like this would not have been difficult. Nobody would pay much attention to a low level guy like this. He could play soldier for a while until he is in place to “get captured”.
How difficult is it to get assigned to a combat zone? Or a particular combat zone? If it’s something that can be requested, did Bergdahl request it? If not, maybe someone should look into all the people involved in the decisions that ended up putting him there.
