Enough laws exist to prevent that type of court situation. If they didn’t exist...there would be literally thousands of such lawsuits per year for injury or death. Just food poisoning via the chow hall could be taken as a legal action.
What you have is a nutcase who should have been identified in basic training and routed out. The Coast Guard episode with Bergdahl lasted only 26 days, and they washed him out....never saying much except he couldn’t make it. That should have been evidence enough for the Army recruiter to bar the guy from entering service.
His mental side is so fragile, that the real question is...if he doesn’t get a medical discharge and some pension...what exactly does he doe for the rest of his life?
Let’s say the court wraps up the action, and of the two charges...they can only convict on the lesser charge, and decide six months in the stockade is sufficient...then release him.
Mentally, he can’t handle stress. Other than working at Burger King or running a shoe-shine stand...I don’t think he can take any more stress than that. Even the front desk of a hotel, or a tire-changer job...would be too stressful.
How about down the line, when he has written a book, or had a real writer do it for him?
