The admission is in; the sentence awaits us. Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl admitted deserting his Afghan post and endangering fellow troops. By all accounts this is the most serious betrayal of presidential authority in my life time.
In 2014 President Obama attempted to cover Bergdahl with the achievement of a war hero, even inviting his Idaho based parents to the Rose Garden to celebrate news of his release. President Obama pointed out at the time that five Taliban leaders were freed from Guantanamo so that Bergdahl could be released from captivity. To gild the lily, National Security Adviser, Susan Rice, said Bergdahl served the United States with honor and distinction.
Yet everyone in the White House and the Pentagon knew this was a lie with monumental implications. In fact, Army officials refused to list Bergdahl as a POW. An internal 2009 Army report found that he walked off his post on more than one occasion and even said he wanted to join the ranks of the enemy. This report also noted he shipped his laptop back to Idaho with a note expressing his disillusionment with the American position in the war.

Will Obama, Rice, et al be held accountable?
:::::Crickets:::::
The press NEVER holds democrats responsible for anything...Obama will get his pass before the MSM even know what the problem is.
This is worse than Jane Fonda but there has been a lot going on in my lifetime. Gulf of Tonkin lie killed thousands wounding hundreds of thousands of soldiers.I could go on but won't.
Just in the last twenty years there has been the Clinton's doing the nasty selling secrets to the Chicoms, WMD's, Uranium one, Benghazi, Obamacare,
My point is Bergdahl is atrocious but he's barely a blip on the radar compared to the rest. However, he deserves the noose along with probably every single person in the Soetero administration.
Prison costs money to feed him. Offer him to the Russians to help develop Siberia. Offer him a Chinese wife. Just stay there.
