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.

Disgraceful. But he did get the Big Chicken Dinner and a hefty fine. He is marked for life. The Good Lord .... or karma... will take care of the rest.

Not a Bad Conduct Discharge, a Dishonorable Discharge. Its the worst discharge you can get.

He will not be able to possess a firearm. Or vote. And every time he's pulled over by the cops and his license is run they'll see that Dishonorable Discharge on his record.

Considering how many cops are vets, he won't be catching any breaks.

And he can't be employed by any business that does business with the Feds. Even McDonalds is out.

American justice has been unjust for so long that the American people have been accustomed to injustice.

I’ve been complaining about gays and women in the military as long as I’ve been on FR. Some freepers still don’t get it.

Okay...I found more. Scroll down to blue box that says “Speaker Biographies.” Look for “Nance, Jeffrey.”

I've become less upset with Bergdahl's sentence since realizing that he's going to be a marked man for the rest of his days.

He's also going to carry the burden of knowing that he paid nothing for the lives of the good men who tried to rescue him. His conscience will be black for eternity.

“...maybe Karma will catch up with him soon...”

I was thinking more along the lines of an F250 catching up to him. Oh well.

To put it in perspective, I was part of a board that gave more time in confinement than that for stealing a room mate’s laptop.

Yes, karma is — for the traitor and the judge. The blood of the eight, and of any killed by the five released muzzies, calls out. This judge (previously a lawyer) has blood on his hands, one way or the other.

“His conscience will be black for eternity.”

Not his. No conscience there. Just evil.

"It's the worst discharge you can get."

True. However.....

Bergdahl will be perpetually financed by the Left....outright donations to help him live, eat and be housed.....TV appearances for fees, the creamed-chicken speaking circuit, purchasing the book he'll have someone ghost-write after a million dollar up-front advance payment......paid appearances at leftist social gatherings, paid interviews with any number and/or variety of left-wing media.....and juiciest of all, you can bet that at this moment, someone is script-writing a movie or documentary based on the adventures of our new celebrity Benedict Arnold for which he'll get a cut and royalties (Michael Moore?)

Trust me.....no one will ever have to hold tag days for Bergdahl. He'll make out like a bandit.

Making the verdict infinitely more disgusting.

Perhaps someone will come up with urinal stickers of “Taliban Bo” to go alongside Hanoi Jane. Those could be lucrative for whomever has the ability to mass produce them. If there is money to be made, let it be for those who won’t forget this outrage!
