So he thinks claiming he's a whistleblower will exonerate him and make ALOL incidental?The gist of the article is poor Bowe was going to "headquarters" to report that his superiors were being MEAN to him.
And then he was going to return to base.
So the spin begins.
ROTFLMAO!!!!! Suuurrrre you were.
I was only “borrowing” that bank loot from the heist. I meant to return it.
Did he mail his “stuff” to “headquarters”, too? LOL!
Hmmm, never been in the military but my dad was. I think I remember him telling me there’s this thing called “chain of command”. You don’t do squat w/o permission, especially go to headquarters on your own. If that’s the best he’s got he’s toast............hopefully.
And right after I ROBBED the BANK I was planning on giving the money back. /s
I sold out our country, but I was planning on buying it bac. (WITH WHAT?)
I’m an idiot, but I was going to get smarter.
If he can prove he planned to return, that eliminates desertion. But does nothing to undermine collaborating with the enemy. Solution: Fine, not a deserter, but execute anyway.
He wasn’t TAKEN fromthe camp, He Deserted in a WARZONE!
Many soldiers DIED looking FOR HIM.
Shoot his ass! After a trial of course!
It would be like kidnapping someone and then expecting the charges to be dropped because even though you were caught with the kidnap victim all tied up, you were “plannign on returning them”.....
“Oh I robbed that bank, but I was planning on giving the money back...”
“Sorry for speeding officer, but i was planning on slowing down and drving the next 10 miles 5mph under the speed limit before you pulled me over for going 20mph over....”
That “Defense” of Berghdal just doesn’t CUT it...
the lwayer....going on about finding an “impartial court-martial panel.” is a hoot!!
Bullying? Shoot the bastard.
A piece at a time?
So he thinks claiming he's a whistleblower will exonerate him and make ALOL incidental?Maybe he was going to come back, to frag the soldiers.
One thing they drill into you is that you NEVER jump the chain of command. You first go to your immediate superior and if that doesn’t give you satisfaction you go to hi superior and so on up the chain.
Can’t you members of the VRWC take this outstanding young man’s feelings into account? His efforts at community outreach sprang from the noblest of intentions. He realized that we need a kinder, gentler, non-violent sort of military. Obviously you chaps do not.
With a SUICIDE VEST!!!
