Even if he was, how that that a defense against desertion in the first place?

One thing they drill into you is that you NEVER jump the chain of command. You first go to your immediate superior and if that doesn’t give you satisfaction you go to hi superior and so on up the chain.

Yeah, sure.
He was planning to come back to run for President. Because if an Islamic loving, American hating, and probable non-citizen, can become President -- then why the heck not ...

Can’t you members of the VRWC take this outstanding young man’s feelings into account? His efforts at community outreach sprang from the noblest of intentions. He realized that we need a kinder, gentler, non-violent sort of military. Obviously you chaps do not.

Bergdahl's a liberal and a liar... there's no way he could 'prove' he planned on coming back.

It's a Clinton type lie - the only people stupid enough to consider it are women who would vote for Hillary based on her positions 'on women'....

So, are we supposed to believe that this deserter’s captors were just going to let him walk away so he could “return to base”?

I’m not an attorney but I’ll be sure to stay in a Holiday Inn so I can become an overnight prosecutor who prosecutes this piece of detestable vermin.

With the exception of a handful of soldiers captured at the beginning of the invasion of Iraq, every servicemen lost or captured in Iraq were brutally murdered. Why is this guy the only survivor?

The Taliban does not take prisoners. Bergdahl would not have lasted as long as he did unless he was useful to them, otherwise, he would have been killed within a few days of his capture.

Not for nothing but why is nobody talking about potential charges of Treason again the Obummer?

Just a theory: Obummer knew the guy was a defector (he’s the President! Of COURSE he knew) and judging how eager he’s been to release terrorists all year, he found out Berghole got fed up playing with the Taliban and wanted to come home so a deal was struck where Bergdahl would play POW, Obummer would get his chance to free the 5 and reinforce the enemy, Berghole would come home, the Taliban get their 5, everybody is happy and satisfied. Only Obummer just didn’t count on Bergholes unit exposing him on national TV which by the way, weren’t they threatened to shut up? But I mean what does it matter, it’s not like Repubs will do anything about it.

My long range plan is to fly to Saturn too but how likely is that? Bergdhal is and was a deserter, no more questions! He deserted in the time of war and should be put to death, PERIOD!!!!
