Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl is back in America, but it will be months before his future takes shape, according to both experts in the military's legal system and people familiar with the treatment of long-term captives.

There he will undergo treatment to reintegrate back into society -- or possibly military prison.
Until his medical treatment is complete, a process than can last up to several months, it’s unclear how the military will treat a soldier alleged to have willingly left his firebase in Afghanistan.

Recall what happened to that Cleveland man who kept three women chained up for ten years; auto asphyxiation, for pursuits of the labido.
YEARS????? OMG!!!! Should take about 2 HOURS!!
Article 32 should take about 2 months.
