The Army has appointed an, as of now, unnamed Major General to lead the investigation in to Bergdahl's desertion. There was already an initial AR 15-6 investigation at the time of his desertion in 2009. This will either be an Article 32 hearing/investigation.

First they’ll have him examined by an Army corpseman.

I feel sorry for any serving office picked by this administration and given an assignment along with a pre-determined and incorrect finding. Will he fall heroically upon the sword of truth or live ignominiously with the fleas and lice of dishonor?

The two-star General, whose identity has not been released

Pretty clear from that ... The fix is in.

I figure depending on the outcome he will be promoted to 3star or busted back to 1 star and loose a years pay and be forced to retire after it’s discovered that he 1) sexually harassed his staff, 2) was a big gambler, 3) failed to safeguard nuclear weapons under his command...

Completely ignorant of how the Army justice system works, but isn’t a general a bit “overkill” in terms of rank for this? Why not go with a major or a Lieutenant Colonel?

It is not clear when the 28-year-old, who was kept locked in a metal box for two years during his ordeal,.... I call Horse poop.

why didn’t they start their investigation 5 years ago when the desertion actually happened?

If the conclusions reached in this investigation meet the approval of a certain someone it could mean another star for the General..My guess is that an O-9’s pension is noticeably larger than is an O-8’s.

Bergdahl ran so fast that they are going to give him the Physical Fitness Ribbon.

no offense meant general,
just cause you are a general doesn’t mean you aren’t up obammy’s ass and will play any tune he calls.

The commander in chief has already weighed in that Berghdahl is a hero that served with distinction. There will be no finding except that he had a mental breakdown. No officer will buck the CIC. there will be no court martial.
