Bergdahl told a general who investigated the case that he hoped to cause an alarm by leaving his post, then walk to a larger base in Afghanistan so he could have an audience with a top commander.

"So, the idea was to -- it was -- literally, it was a sacrificial -- it was a self-sacrifice thing," Bergdahl said, according to the transcript of a 2014 interview with Maj. Gen. Kenneth Dahl.

I’m sorry but I believe that the term you are looking for is “cowardliness”.

I am of the opinion that desertion of one’s post in the time of war is treason and should be punished accordingly.

Give him a .45 and he can do another act of ‘self-sacrirfice’ by blowing his brains out.

I agree.

But this administration is doing its level best to not do so.

I heard this morning here in Idaho some quotes from the original military prosecutor indicating that Bergdahl was suffering fro some sort of personality “psychosis” before he left the FOB.

Sounds like they are paving the way for some kind of dishonorable discharge.

I hope and pray that does not happen.

At the least, he needs to go away fro about 20 years.

What he deserves is to be executed.

People died in operations looking for this guy.

Sacrafice? Someone take him to the middle of the Mohave Desert. Leave him with a can of oil, a pistol and one bullet in the middle of the hot season.

Now you can show us what self sacrifice is, byrddog.

And if his father encouraged him to desert he should be sent to prison to.
