As the fate of Bowe Bergdahl rests in the hands of a judge this week, a military court is expected to hear dramatic testimony Monday from the soldiers and a Navy SEAL who were badly hurt in the search for the Army sergeant after he deserted his post.

The judge, Army Col. Jeffery R. Nance, will hear at a sentencing hearing at Fort Bragg from one soldier involved in the search for Bergdahl who must now use a wheelchair, unable to speak because of a head wound. Another is still unable to use his right hand.

A third searcher sustained a leg wound from enemy fire that ended his career as a Navy SEAL.

But he was tortured by the Taliban for 5 long, agonizing years (according to his lawyer). Doesn’t that count for something? </sarc>

3 lives were changed? And what of the 6 soldiers who died while looking for him because they thought he was captured, not a run away?

My count includes 6 murders.

With all the Bowe Bergdahl talk, nobody is bringing up Obama's unlawful trade of the traitorous Bergdahl for five terrorist leaders who were released, returned as heroes, and now back in the fight, killing more innocent people.

Will Obama, Rice, Clapper, et al be held accountable?

But all of the wounded in this article were white or hispanic, so it doesn’t count.
