FORT BRAGG, N.C. - U.S. Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, accused of endangering fellow soldiers who searched for him after he walked off his combat outpost in Afghanistan in 2009 and was captured by the Taliban, pleaded guilty on Monday to desertion and misbehavior before the enemy.
In court in Fort Bragg, North Carolina, Bergdahl admitted leaving his post in Paktika province in June 2009. He said he got lost after 20 minutes, was captured two or three hours later, and that he never wanted to put anyone at risk.
“I was captured by the enemy against my will,” the 31-year-old Idaho native told the hearing. “At the time I had no intention of causing search and recovery operations. ... It’s very inexcusable.”

The ONLY extenuating factor here that I can see is that he was previously thrown out of the Coast Guard for being a nut case, and the Army still let him join.
He should never have been let in.

At least we save money on a trial. That would have been a circus. Just give him his life in prison sentence and be done. Anything less is unacceptable. Death penalty wouldn’t bother me a bit, but life in prison is appealing too....think about his stupid actions for a long time.

What an absolute disgrace. Five Taliban captains, 5 Billion in bribe, . . and for what? A turncoat traitor. Another nail in Obama’s legacy coffin. Truly a treasonous act by Obama.
