FORT BRAGG, N.C. (AP) — Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl told a military judge on Monday that he's pleading guilty to desertion and misbehavior before the enemy.

"I understand that leaving was against the law," said Bergdahl, whose decision to walk off his remote post in Afghanistan in 2009 prompted intense search and recovery missions, during which some of his comrades were seriously wounded.

"At the time, I had no intention of causing search and recovery operations," Bergdahl said, but he added that now he does understand that his decision prompted efforts to find him.

Bergdahl, 31, is accused of endangering his comrades by abandoning his post without authorization. He told a general after his release from five years in enemy hands that he did it with the intention of reaching other commanders and drawing attention to what he saw as problems with his unit....

Branded!
Scorned as the one who ran.
What do you do when you’re branded,
And you know you’re NOT a man?
And wherever you go
for the rest of your life
You must hide your shame ...

Nope, do it the old fashioned way, hanging. Firing squad is too quick. He at least will have that 300 ms between the time his feet take air and when his neck snaps.

Big Media is doing their best to only mention two WOUNDED looking for “Bowe”, the Fraud’s pet name for Robert Bowdrie Bergdahl.

I was just watching the documentary AMERICAN REVOLUTION episode where Maj John Andre just blindfolded and snuggled the tightrope by himself before he was hanged. Cant expect Bergdahl to be a man like Andre before death.

The difference is Andre had a horse drug out from under him meaning he had a lot of time to reflect in comparison to the way Hussein’s head was ripped off.

This guy is so disgusting even his buddy Obama left him swinging in the wind. In fact, that is what he deserves, to swing in the wind.

Believe in the Lord JESUS Christ and become part of the “one new man”? (Ephesians 2:15 )

He may suffer death for desertion but can be saved eternally. Who knows? Maybe he’ll believe.

Isn’t desertion punishable by death?

Yellow stripe painted down his back and sword broke in half, that he kept and sharpened into a long dagger. But I think he was framed wan't he?
