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.

Less than a year ago he and Manning were part of the military TARP training series on traitors. Gone from the slidedeck now.
They should take a POW medal, melt it into a bullet, and shoot him in the balls with it.
Should have had a rope around his neck, a line of men with guns facing him while he had a sack over his head, or a lifetime scrubbing toilets with a toothbrush.
This just pisses me off every time I think of it.
Yup, and has been since that usurper was sworn in back in January, 2009.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets a “metal”. Most likely lead with a copper jacket.
what makes you think Mattis wouldnt want death?
The fact that this verdict happened and that there will be no repercussions for the “judge” and his superiors who let the dirt bag traitor walk.
I think the POW medal should be abolished. All militaries decorations need to be looked at. There are a lot of useless and redundant medals. Ribbon only awards should all be abolished.
POW!
Robespierre was a murderous leftist tyrant, but, following the principle that a broken clock is right twice a day, his observation is correct.
>>he will have change his name and go mostly into hiding
Why? When there are so many liberal communities just waiting to welcome him. Don’t you think he’ll have job offers galore from sympathetic progressives?
Guess I'm an overachiever! :^)
Actually POW medals are for prisoners of war not deserting traitors

Susan Rice said he served with “distinction.”
Absolutely!
He'd be a leading democrat today.
Her exact words were: "He Served with Honor & Distinction".
Fidell, what an appropriate last name for a traitorous lawyer. Judge Nance should be ashamed of himself to the point of committing suicide. I mean it. How dare he let the scum Bergdahl off! Luckily this case is up for appeals so maybe the outcome will change. At least that is how I understand it.
Good answer.
He will be making all the talk shows the View late night shows and will be hailed a Hero
