Army Says Still No Decision on Bowe Bergdahl's Fate
ABC News ^ | January 27, 2015 | By LUIS MARTINEZ

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.

Of course not. Bergdahl is Moslem,
and therefore like the EXEMPT Congress
and EXEMPT Moslems in ObamaCARE/DeathCARE,
he is above all others.

Should have figured it was too good to be true. It’s just too outside the narrative.

From Article:"The Army issued a statement today denying media reports that said Bergdahl would be charged with desertion, possibly as early as next week."

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.

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.
