No decision has been made about Bowe Bergdahl's future, military officials said today, as an Army general continues to review the circumstances surrounding his 2009 disappearance that led to five years in Taliban captivity.
The Army issued a statement today denying media reports that said Bergdahl would be charged with desertion, possibly as early as next week.
Major General Ronald Lewis, the head of Army public affairs, labeled the reports as "patently false."
"To be clear, there have been no actions or decisions on the Sergeant Bergdahl investigation," Lewis said.
The investigation remains with Milley, "who will determine appropriate action -- which ranges from no further action to convening a court-martial," Lewis added.

Quit stalling!!!
Not until the current administration is out of office will they do anything.
He’s an embarrassment to the CIC.................
Five terrorists for a deserter,Obama is one shrewd negotiator.
A rose-garden lovefest for a deserter?
Of course not. Bergdahl is Moslem,
and therefore like the EXEMPT Congress
and EXEMPT Moslems in ObamaCARE/DeathCARE,
he is above all others.
Are you implying Mrs. or Mr.??
I’ve got a rope they can borrow.
Laz might, but would Obama, that’s the question.
Should have figured it was too good to be true. It’s just too outside the narrative.
Yuck!
I guess they are referring to this report. Who to believe? Who to believe?
IIRC, the standard of proof in a military court is a preponderance of the evidence. IOW, the Army only has to be 51% sure that Bergdahl deserted, to get a successful conviction.
So lets see:
He wrote people back home about how disillusioned he was.
He left his weapon behind.
Everybody in his unit who is willing to speak believes he deserted.
Some Afghan girl reported seeing Bergdahl that night, crawling around on his own, in search of the Taliban.
Shouldn’t take that much investigating.
All he has to say: I’m gay. Everything will be forgiven.
This picture is just waaaaaaay too chummy for me.
Was this the real reason the President was willing to set 5 terrorists free ..????
The President hates America. He blames 9th century radical fanatics on America. Freeing these vermin is a show of solidarity with others who hate America.
