Army Gen. Robert Abrams, head of U.S. Army Forces Command has endorsed the decision of the court martial board who decided not to sentence Pvt. Bowe Bergdahl to prison for abandoning his post in time of war.
Bergdahl was reduced in rank from sergeant to private and ordered to forfeit $1,000 a month in pay for 10 months. The judge also gave him a dishonorable discharge.
The fine and rank reduction were effective two weeks after the judges sentence was delivered. The case is now referred to the Army Court of Criminal Appeals at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, which automatically reviews any punitive discharges.
Bergdahl was captured by the Taliban and held for five years.
There were several searches for Bergdahl after he had been captured, including one by Navy SEALs where two were wounded. Six men from his unit died while in Afghanistan and some of the families are blaming Bergdahl because so much manpower was being used to look for him

Yes, Obama traded some of the worse in GITMO for this TRAITOR.
They do indeed, owe an apology to the relatives of Slovik. One of the guys that served with the puke face, is bound to have a chance meeting with him. I wonder what will happen then?
“What is wrong with the Army? Desertion gets no prison time? How are they going to convince future potential deserters not to do it?”
The Army has gone squishy, another example is that West Point graduate who is an overt Communist Lt Spenser Rapone. Soon to become CPT Rapone. Not the same Army I was in 45 years ago.
The “General” needs to be taken out back for treason.
I swear to God, folks
Sometimes I just cant believe what I read any more
Travesty.
So, you are saying he might be a Juan McCain?
Patton would be lucky just to be made to resign in this era. They’d try to put him in Leavenworth nowadays.
A bullet would have been quicker and cheaper.
Another command level coward with no backbone.
6 men were murdered because of Bergdahl. Obama honors him like a returning hero and the Army pats him on the head and send the traitor home.
Disgusting. It’s clear Trump hasn’t fired nearly enough people yet.
Look for him to be an analyst on CNN.
“Whats wrong with the Army?”
Too many Obola “holdovers!” Trump needs to do to the military, what he’s doing to our courts, RIF the “$hit Generals” who went along, and are still going along with Obola today! And taking action in this regard may well be more pressing than making over the courts, because we can’t fight a war with men and women who hold Obola’s “values!”
Ernie Bilko once hosted a Benedict Arnold Forgive and Forget Dance.
“For those who dont know, General Abrams is son of Creighton Abrams.”
Another McCain....
Good men died trying to help Bergdahl who had purposefully forsaken his allegiance to this country.
The U.S. military is tarnished by this stupid General’s muslem sympathies. I served under his brother John with the 1/11 ACR and doubt that he would have made the same decision.
Great big ‘ol WTF!!
What a bunch of ____. Traitor Bergdahl and Traitor Manning should be used for target practice to test new weapons on, with the first wielders of the test weapons the families of the soldiers killed trying to find Bergdahl after he went AWOL.
Phil Silvers or Steve Martin? 😁
It's always about protecting Obama no matter the cost to the country.

Bump!
I will bet John Abrams will not reach as high a level in the military as his brother who made this decision.
