No, I already did in my noggin, even though I posted it for discussion...
No question at all that he was criminally AWOL, little question remains that it was actually full blown desertion in a combat zone.
But since the current CINC of the USA cares so little for the UCMJ, there is also no question at all that this man's life is in more dire active danger now, as a political pawn of the POTUS, than he was in the last five years at the hands of the Taliban he actively sought to “contact”.
His potential value and “use-by date” has now expired.
May God have mercy on his soul.
In the former real world of the DOD, he would be convicted of desertion in a combat zone, and spend a few more years in custody, primarily in an isolated DOD mental ward.
Bowe Bergdahl isn't going “home, alive” anytime in the near future, in the new bizzaro world of the DOD, under this CINC.
He will be “lucky” to even make it into Leavenworth, alive.
Worse traitors than he are walking free right now.
Including the current CINC.
