A military judge has found that Bowe Bergdahl should serve no prison time for endangering his comrades by walking off his Afghanistan post.

The judge also gave Bergdahl a dishonorable discharge, reduced his rank to private and said he must forfeit pay equal to $1,000 per month for 10 months. The judge made no other comments.

He was given a dishonorable discharge. I think that makes him ineligible to receive benefits or compensation.

His rank was raised/promoted while he defected to the other side. He should have NO rank remaining. Utter disgrace.

The Judge had to get an offer he couldn’t refuse from the obozo or one of his thugs

Can someone on this thread with good knowledge of the UCMJ tell us if the government can appeal this decision?

How about a civil suit for that money from the veterans and families of veterans who got injured or killed looking for him?

UNBELIEVABLE!, Bergdahl should have received prison time. Under Patton the bastard would have received the firing squad. How can you expect discipline in the armed forces when a so called judge such as this guy walks a guy?

True, and now he can go on TV, write a book and make a movie.

Hard to recognize much of this country anymore. For all of the "winning", the country is still LOSING badly. My heart goes out to all the casualties and the families who will NEVER rest from their sorrow and anguish because of TREASON.

Obama has his sh*t eating grin on.

If there is anything positive about the decision, perhaps it is in the fact that the taxpayer is not footing the bill for his food, shelter, meidical care, etc., while in prison. The death penalty would have been too good for him; maybe Karma will catch up with him soon

Looks like desertion and giving aid to the enemy is no longer a punishable offense..

He should have been shot on sight as a spy for the enemy.

The Judge is Army Col. Jeffery Nance

I have searched and have found NOTHING. Not even a photo.

Google led me here. Look at these comments:

Comment #1: What is Judge Col. Jeffrey Nance’s background? military service? His age?
Where did Nance serve? Was he just a noncombat lawyer in JAG shuffling papers? Did Nance consider whether Bergdahl might rejoin the Taliban once released? Like the five senior Taliban Obama traded for Bergdahl? Most news articles barely mention Nance’s name, and with no personal information on him.

Another comment: I’ve been looking too. Nothing, zip, nada.

Another: We need to find something on this judge. Look what he did. Just a dishonorable discharge.

In the new military, traitors walk free. Even traitors whose actions lead to the deaths of other soldiers. This feels like the OJ verdict.

YES! Civil lawsuits might take that bad taste out of my mouth. Coward should be sitting in Gitmo.

I have never been less proud of my country.

Lawyers turned judges are a pox upon America.

Lawyers turned politicians are a cancer.
