The gist of the article is poor Bowe was going to "headquarters" to report that his superiors were being MEAN to him.

And then he was going to return to base.

I was only “borrowing” that bank loot from the heist. I meant to return it.

Hmmm, never been in the military but my dad was. I think I remember him telling me there’s this thing called “chain of command”. You don’t do squat w/o permission, especially go to headquarters on your own. If that’s the best he’s got he’s toast............hopefully.

If he can prove he planned to return, that eliminates desertion. But does nothing to undermine collaborating with the enemy. Solution: Fine, not a deserter, but execute anyway.

He wasn’t TAKEN fromthe camp, He Deserted in a WARZONE!

Many soldiers DIED looking FOR HIM.

Shoot his ass! After a trial of course!

It would be like kidnapping someone and then expecting the charges to be dropped because even though you were caught with the kidnap victim all tied up, you were “plannign on returning them”.....

“Oh I robbed that bank, but I was planning on giving the money back...”

“Sorry for speeding officer, but i was planning on slowing down and drving the next 10 miles 5mph under the speed limit before you pulled me over for going 20mph over....”

That “Defense” of Berghdal just doesn’t CUT it...

Reminds me of a retired coworker said when his wife caught him in bed with another woman. I was just showing it to her.

Hey Bo... So he thinks claiming he's a whistleblower will exonerate him and make ALOL incidental?

Some advice to Berghdahl: “If you are going to leave the army, don’t do it in a warzone, wait till you get BACK to the STATES then go AWOL!”

What a Schmuck and this admin used him as “Cover” to relase some really bad people. I think Obama used deserter Bergdahl to intentionally piss of some of the top brass so he knew who to fire (the ones who objected over this)...
