He should have got himself castrated before Trump came in.

Plead guilty and get a light sentence so everything won’t come out in court.

Will his dad be there to speak Pashtun when he is sentenced? Will Barack Obama be there to smile broadly as dad makes his remarks?

From Wikipedia:

On June 16, 2014, the U.S. Army said that it had begun investigating the facts and circumstances surrounding the disappearance and capture of Bergdahl in Afghanistan. On June 25, 2014, the U.S. Army stated that there is "no evidence" that Bergdahl "engaged in any misconduct" during his years in captivity. The 2010 Pentagon investigation referred to above dealt with events leading up to his capture. In July 2014, Bergdahl was returned to active duty.

In August 2014, it was announced that an investigation headed by Major General Kenneth Dahl would be conducted. During the course of Dahl's inquiry, Bergdahl told investigators that he left his position in June 2009 to report on "misconduct in his unit" and that he had intended to return quickly. During a 59-day investigation, Dahl interviewed 57 witnesses, including Bergdahl.

According to Bergdahl's lawyer, Eugene Fidell, Bergdahl told him that he "had concerns about certain conditions in the unit and things that happened in the unit and he figured that the only way to get any attention to them would be to get that information to a general officer." Fidell opined that Bergdahl was actually AWOL when he was captured, rather than a deserter.

In December 2014, the Army referred Bergdahl's case to a four-star general for a possible court-martial. On March 25, 2015, the Army announced that Bergdahl had been charged with two counts under the Uniform Code of Military Justice: one count of “desertion with intent to shirk important or hazardous duty" and one count of "misbehavior before the enemy by endangering the safety of a command, unit or place"; the more serious misbehavior charge can be charged with a life sentence.

According to documents released by his defense team, Bergdahl was diagnosed with schizotypal personality disorder following an Army Sanity Board evaluation. A July 27, 2015 memorandum from the sanity board stated "Though Sgt. Bergdahl did have a severe mental disease or defect at the time of the alleged criminal conduct, he was able to appreciate the nature and quality and wrongfulness of this conduct."

So a number of terrorists were put back into action in order to bring a traitor back to put in prison. Is there anyone out there who still doesn’t see that Obama is an enemy of America? Everything this weasel did was for the downfall of the country.

Under the constitutions/rules/regulations of the UCMJ that I served / obeyed, he at a minimum would have gotten a BCD been stipend of all rank,awards/badges in formation, then drummed out of post, and never allowed back or to even mention the PostS again and sully it's name and honor.
