LT. COL. RALPH PETERS: What we have here is very, very clear, it's damnably clear that the White House which doesn't understand why this is a big deal. I mean, he just deserted, right?Wouldn't anybody do that? And they just want to protect the president. And they are pressuring the Army, pressuring the Army to whitewash this. And they don't understand that for the military, those who went before, retirees like me, those on active duty, this is a powerful matter, as you heard from the young soldier, of precedent and principle.

The military legal question would be....what’s the next level down from desertion where you only put a guy into the stockade for sixty days? I suspect that is what the WH gamers are asking and the Pentagon lawyer guy is just standing in amazement that they don’t understand the term desertion.
Amen Lt. Col. Peters, Amen.
We’ll know if the U.S. military brass has been fully compromised and corrupted by the regime if Bergdahl is not indicted on desertion charges.
And we'll know if they are willing to put up a fight if they sentence him to be shot.
Why can’t the Military bring charges against it’s CIC?
Clearly there is just cause and John Boehner refuses to level charges against Obama. Can the Military be a route to prosecute this egregious man?
I agree. But if Obama doesn't get his way the normal course of events would be to "fire" the appropriate person in the chain of command. Of course it would be a "retirement" be we will know what is going on. If so, who in the military would accept the assignment to replace this key guy? Would anyone?
Obama is in trouble on this one. Watching him try to squirm out of it should be interesting theater.
deserting..... Draft dodging in Canada....
What difference does it make?
Wasn’t it Chelsea Clinton that said “we loathe the military”
Of course the Pentagon and the whole military has been taken over. Since bozo got power he has been replacing officers and officials at every level , including putting in more homosexuals and cross dressers.
Can any one in the Brown Shirt Media say “undue command influence”?
obammy’s banana republic.
I think it was her mother who said that...
Her supposed father wrote that he was “too smart” to join...
I’m watching the Pentagon spokesperson, ADM Kirby, deny everything and call this POS a “young man who served his country”.
Kirby is a weasel and needs to be fired....
There are plenty of generals who would readily compromise their integrity for another star on their shoulders.
Maybe Obama is waiting until there is a big news story dominating all the news outlets to issue a pardon to Bergdahl hoping it will get overlooked by the media.
This admin has removed more Gen officers then any in history. They have even relieved officers in lower grades. Never before has any admin had more disdain for the military. Hell, we had a Gen die in Afghan and Obama was MIA at the Gen’s funeral. Obama is a F-ing DISGRACE to America.
The purge is ongoing and surely weighs heavily on their minds.
One would think that the House Armed Services Committee would be asking questions of the military brass what kind of pressure they are getting from the WH on Bergdahl.
That certainly would make for an interesting public hearing.
