This ruling is a perfect example of the state of the US military.
EXACTLY...................looking at this decision and ships running into each other my lifetime respect for the US Military Officer Corp diminishes. It’s as if a whole generation of officers are infected with the “no accountability virus”. All a guy has to say is “I’m sorry” and to our officer corp in all services that seems to be a “get out of jail FREE card”. It’s (i.e. the “no accountability virus”) the kind of “weakness” that leads to DEAD personnel (USS McCain, USS Fitzgerald, USS Cole) and it’s a weakness that so many upper echelon officers over many generations DID NOT exhibit which is what makes it hard to take for average citizens and veterans alike.
That one despicable human being “has suffered enough” IS NOT the issue. The future of the US Military IS and a great opportunity to send a multi generational message out to millions of service men and women yet to come into the military has been lost. Bergdahl should have faced a firing squad.
I hope this verdict
