He has about as much chance of being punished (much less executed) as Joe Biden has of being the next head of MENSA or Nancy Pelosi appearing on the cover of Playboy.

A 5 month suspended sentence would give his fans a big thrill...

5 months in prison for desertion would make him an even bigger hero to them.

Regardless, this guy is NO "hero" and his 15 minutes of fame are going to be a nightmare for his family.

I can only imagine the entire families of the soldiers massacred who went looking for what they thought was a comrade in arms are thinking.

Betcha it isn't going to be pretty.

And no amount of liberal media "spin" will save them.

This is NOT a "republican phony scandal".

Even the biggest pinkos aren't keen on what Obama did.

Because even they realize that the Taliban thugs released are going to come a knockin'.

Why wouldn’t the Taliban (or any other group) start kidnapping every U.S. soldier they can get their hands on? Now they know they can demand anything they want?

Justice would be a real swap:

Put Pvt. Bergdahl in Gitmo.

Wasn’t he a corporal when he turned his coat? So how did he earn another stripe while collaborating?

Apparently, he was given time-in-grade promotions while he was working for the Taliban. This is fairly standard in the military.

He’s up for Staff Sgt as soon as the dust settles. Wonder how the NCO Corp will feel about this, lol....

He was not collaborating and he was not deserting.

He was adhering to the enemies of the United States, giving them aid and comfort.

He may never even come back to the US. ObaMao/Hagel could order him “processed out” in Germany, give him 5 years’ pay and he could go right back to the Taliban.
