8 soldiers signed up to serve this country- but ended up losing their lives trying to find and bring back a DESERTER
Absolutely disgraceful
Not only that- but apparently we the taxpayers are paying off his fine because evidently he’ll remain a private until his fine is payed off
The judge needs to be disbarred for incompetence!
No doubt. There was a guy on my ship that was being harrassed by a homo who was awaiting his discharge for being caught doing the nasty on the ship with another homo. His superiors didn’t do anything about it. He left his post and went AWOL. Caught up with him on fakebook and he was eventually caught. They charged him with desertion and missing ships movement. He spent time in the brig and got a general discharge. Not condoning what he did, it was wrong but I’d have probably dine the same thing if my superiors didn’t do anything about it. I’m going to message him to see what he thinks of this travesty. At least when my shipmate left we weren’t at war and no one died looking for him. Obama and his minions still have a grasp on the operations in this country just like the clintoons. Come on President Trump, Lets get this country on the right path again soon.
Hopefully it wont be a very long one and his remaining time will be spent in agonizing fear and desperation.
You mean the families of the 6 dead and the wounded should file..
In our neighborhood, we call it Judge Shopping. Works every time.
Didn’t know that 6 had died in the search?
He deserved life in Leavenworth. So did Manning.
Alive or dead? That asshole is a dead man walking. Someone will make sure he gets what he has coming. Weather a nut job or God though karma.
Hope it’s not too long.
He deserved life in Leavenworth. So did Manning.
Hopefully he will be back in the news crying about a new version of PTSD (Pussy Traitor Societal Distress) as folks shun him.....
That only works for Democrats. So ya, that’s why he walked.
not to mention the soldier that was arrested for stopping a muslim man from raping a young boy- He went through hell- yet bowe gets off nearly scott free for DESERTING his post
Somebody needs to get a rumor going that Bowe has something on the Clintons and is going to the law about it.....if you get my drift.
This shithead got a few hundred thousand dollars in back pay and his fine is only $12,000!
If I was him I would pay the lump sum and tell the army to kiss my ass and walk out. After all, what are they going to do to him now, sentence to him to KP for a year!
Which one?
The judge or the Muzzie Wannabe?
.
Military courts are very sensitive to ensure that there is no pressure from the chain of command. During the campaign, Trump called, as I recall, for the death penalty. OK, he’s a candidate, not president. Within the past few days, with regard to Bergdahl’s sentencing, he said something like, “well, you know how I feel”, referring to his campaign statement. So now, we’ve got the Commander-in-Chief weighing in on the sentencing. That’s the C-in-C possibly influencing the court’s sentencing.
While I suspect that a stiffer sentence could have been imposed while maintain independence from influence from the chain of command, Trump, as president, should have simply kept his mouth shut or should have said something to the effect that he had complete confidence in the court to impose a suitable sentence, given its knowledge of the particulars of the case.
As private citizens, we have considerable leeway in our statements. Like it or not, a president must be considerably more circumspect.
I hate to say it, but you can blame this light sentence on Trump.
This is APPALLING. I actually didn’t expect this. He should have *at least* gotten life in prison!
That last paragraph was obviously sarcasm. They should hang this guy by is toes at the main base entrance and let the MPs hand each car a baseball bat to swing at him ad they drive in/out of the base.
