Court-martial for Bergdahl not too likely, some assert

The days of going into the military to avoid jail are long since gone, Jacob.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Of course there’s no court martial. Didn’t you see Obama arm-in-arm with the parents?

[rktman]

“who was captured by the Taliban in 2009”. Lame stream statement. He was doing the “Hands up. Don’t shoot” long before it was popularized in Ferguson. That took over from the previous “I’m slamming your head into the sidewalk, don’t shoot.” that was popularized in Florida.

The guys parents were at a White House ceremony with Zero upon his release making him into some kind of hero.

Yeah, like they are going to court-martial him now.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Can’t have Obama looking like a fool for trading 5 high value prisoners for a deserter.

[PROCON]

That sure is a slap in the face of us Vets who did serve honorably.

[Safetgiver]

who was captured by the Taliban in 2009...Pardon me?

They joined up to get out of a criminal conviction.

This is a liberal lie gone mainstream. It is illegal, and does not happen... No, not even to your good buddy who "Went to 'Nam to get out of trouble with the law." The closest that ever happens is a judge will ask a troublemaker to "consider" enlistment.

[exit82]

Well, he wasn’t TAKEN prisoner.

Of course he deserted.

With a Muslim as President, we can’t allow simple justice to take place for the sake of mere infidels.

That is why Hasan still draws breath.

[kabar]

There won’t be a court martial in today’s politicized military. The price Obama paid to release a deserter can’t be exposed by a court martial.

[BenLurkin]

Bingo!

[Lumper20]

The father sports a muslim like beard, and; seems looney as hell. Obama is a muslim and he will do zip. This punk needs to hang at Leavenworth.

[onedoug]

I’m surprised he hasn’t been appointed General Of The Army by now.

[Irenic]

That’s why Obama did this, isn’t it? Berhdhal and family submitted.

Chapter 10 Discharge Under Other Than Honorable Conditions. In a few years, Bergdahl quietly goes before a discharge review board and is upgraded to an Honorable Discharge. He then applies for VA benefits. We wind up paying for benefits for a guy who ran away from his unit in combat.

[ozarkgirl]

So if he gets dishonorably discharged - does that mean he won’t get that 5 years of back pay? That’s a big concern for me.

I’m pretty sure he won’t get court martial - that would make our doofus look like an idiot - parading his parents in front of the world.

[2ndDivisionVet]

He won’t be dishonorably discharged. The worst I can imagine is a general discharge and he would get his back pay with that and lifetime veterans benefits.

Yay, Amerika! Desertion no longer a court-martial offense! Huzzah and welcome to the New Amerika!
