put that FPOS in the same cell as Jon Lindh and throw away the key...Here it comes.
How can they continue to insist no one died searching for him.
Bergdhal? Which Kardashian is he dating?
So his defense team is claiming that he left his post with the intent to hike to another post 19 miles away and thus did not desert but merely went AWOL.
For whatever reason Bergdahl has created during the years since he went Absent Without Leave, he still left his post without permission in the face of the enemy.
Too bad they can’t investigate his dad & how much he knew of sons plans. Would love to check out his emails.
What about charging his immediate and command for dereliction of duty for failing to file a AWOL report?
I can’t believe the incompetence in his unit, the failure to file this paper work is lending more credibility to his bs story.
It is never a good assumption to think that a military trial is anything like a civilian trial. Many consider it to be much fairer, because guilt and innocence, not just lawyer’s tricks, truly matter.
The one thing that will *nuke* a military court martial is even the slightest hint of “command interference”, in either direction.
While there is a presiding officer, he has just one vote, and the rest of the board may ask questions during the trial, of anyone, including the attorneys. If anyone behaves surly or disrespectfully, or heaven help them, lie and get caught, they can get in serious trouble.
Many are the times when the prosecutor unintentionally helps the defense and visa versa. And this is okay, because the *purpose* of a court martial is *not* justice, but “to protect order and discipline in the military.”
This means that the penalty phase can be extraordinary.
Murdering someone might only get a soldier four years in prison. But molesting a child could get life without parole, because the latter is considered “prejudicial to good order and discipline”, and really upsets soldiers.
Mysteriously, Obama has had top Army officers running scared for years. Therefore he (Obama) will get whatever verdict (outcome) he wants in the Bergdahl case.
When Trump gets into the Oval Office, his very first duty should be to launch a search to find a REAL officer in each of the Services and appoint that officer to clean up Obamas mess in each respective service. Indeed, if necessary, “Seniority” should be thrown out the window in favor of finding the best “MAN” for the job.
The officers that showed no backbone during Obamas reign should be retired.
Then, back at West Point, a one year non elective course should immediately be started up concerning an Army Officers “oath of office” with respect to the part about defending against “all enemies, foreign AND DOMESTIC”.
I feel that today’s top officers in all services are confused on the issue.
put that FPOS in the same cell as Jon Lindh and throw away the key...What about the tape that clearly show Bergdahl deserted and worked with the enemy??? Military has the TAPES...
