U.S. Army hearing officer recommends no jail for Bergdahl
OAN ^ | 10/10/15 | By Jim Forsyth

The U.S. military officer who headed a hearing in the case of accused deserter Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl recommended that the man held captive by the Taliban in Afghanistan should not be sent to a military prison, Bergdahl’s lawyers said.

In a memorandum issued on Friday, Lieutenant Colonel Mark Visger, the presiding officer at the so-called Article 32 hearing last month in San Antonio, recommended “non-judicial punishment” for Bergdahl, the lawyers said.

The presiding officer is going to recommend an Article 15 punishment??? LOL, I got one of those for missing a formation I wasn’t informed about. I was restricted to quarters for the weekend. (The XO on Friday evening, gave me my pass and told me to get back before midnight on Sunday. I would have done the same for him had it been reversed.) Sounds like something going on behind the scenes in the political sector. ????

Treason is the new honor degree.

Bergdahl for Senator (either party).

All done to protect the King, after all if the truth were revealed that King Hussein knew ahead of time that Bergdahl was a traitor and was in on the “POW” scam from the start solely to reinforce the enemy, why that would constitute high treason and we don’t want to accuse the King of that because that would be racist.

To celebrate this news, will Obama and Bergdahl’s creepy dad hold another White House hug session?

Why would he need jail if they execute him?

The Army sucks for not standing up to the POTUS. The Army should sentence him to death or life and Obama the Bastard can then pardon The Bastard Traitor when the other Bastard leaves office.

It smells like some of the `rah rah’ articles supporting women Rangers by junior officers posted here.

The key to this fix is Maj. Gen. Kenneth Dahl who reported Bergdahl’s self-serving BS story to the examining officer as gospel truth, even though it was complete hearsay, and the examining officer who admitted it. The chain of command just flipped for Obola, just like CJ Roberts.

The presiding officer is a lieutenant colonel. Most lieutenant colonels want to make it to full colonel.

Obama committed high treason. He knew ahead of time Bergdahl was a defector to the Taliban. He knew he was not a POW but merely posing as one, but Obama went ahead with the scam anyway solely to free the 5 Taliban commanders, in essence sending reinforcements to the enemy. That is at least SIX counts of high treason. Five for each of the taliban released and one for assisting a defector to the enemy. Each count carries the death penalty.

I believe wherever he ends up, he will eventually meet a vet who will want to have a "talk with him", if you get my drift.

He will have to constantly keep looking over his shoulder his whole miserable, despicable life.

A Green Beret was discharged from the army when he stopped an afgan raping a boy.

Can there be any doubt? Career military field grade officers can determine which side of the bread the butter is on.

I want name and number of this Lt. Col. and then I want President Trump or President Cruz or President Carson to court martial this Lt. Colonel for Conduct Unbecoming an Officer. I don’t care how it goes down but that is what I want. Letting Bergdahl off is beyond what this country can take.

Gen. Robert Abrams doesn’t have to go by this recommendation.

I’d like to think he has the spine to go against this and 0bama and his lapdogs but not holding my breath.
