Bergdahl's Attorney Wants Him to Receive POW Medal

The lead defense attorney for Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl said he wants him to receive the Prisoner of War medal.

His civilian lawyer, Eugene Fidell, on Friday said his client should be recognized for the five years he spent in Taliban captivity after deserting his post in Afghanistan, according to an article by USA Today.

"We have long felt he was entitled to the POW medal," Fidell said, the newspaper reported.

It wasn't immediately clear whether Bergdahl's defense team plans to push for the award as part of the process to appeal his dishonorable discharge.

Make it out of polonium so that he can die of radiation poisoning.

And she reported on the Hamdan case while her hubby was involved in it... conflict of interest.
She also weirdly objects to reporters reporting on her speeches. Curious indeed.

The muzzies gave him his “bend over here it comes” medal. That’s all he deserves.

Like the kid who killed his parents and then wants sympathy for being an orphan.

He could be awarded the Benedict Arnold medal for deserting and aiding the enemy. Barack should have thought of creating such a medal. He would have won plaudits from the New York Times and the American Historical Association.

"Sadly, not gonna happen."

While you aren't going to jump Kate, don't bet that this worthless pisher won't get the POW medal. Democrats still roam this land, hating the military and all it represents. What better way to give one last middle finger? The sh!t is already getting to walk for desertion, thanks to some Obamabot in the JAG.

The Slime had 8 years to get his infection deep into the military admin structure.

It’s part of something else no doubt. They are heavily invested in detainee rights.

Maybe Qatar or the Haqqanis are picking up the bill, or the usual far left scum.

By converting to the cult of death, he renounced his American citizenship and became a traitor. The cult of death has as its primary goal the elimination of all constitutional governments and replacing them with theocratic sharia-based dictatorships.

I want Ed McMahon to rise from the dead and give me a million dollar check from the American Family Publisher’s Sweepstakes.

We can’t always get what we want.

They should be very happy that he got away without a jail sentence and should not push their luck.

In terms of a day of reckoning, he will have change his name and go mostly into hiding. I have doubts that he will reside in the US.

This decision is why the American people have no faith in their government. Corruption has reached deep into the military even. Why would any American believe the rule of law applies anymore. Hillary walked, Obama walked, Clapper lied and walked, Lerner broke the law and walked. Poor little Bowie deserted, got his comrades killed and maimed and gets a dishonorable discharge. Rule of law is a damned joke at this point.

Millions of Americans have a different, less expensive metal to give this crybaby deserter, right between the eyes.
