Total affects of Bergdahl desertion:

8 dead
22 wounded

"Revealed: Hunt for Bowe Bergdahl left troops unprotected in infamous Afghan battle that left EIGHT U.S. soldiers dead and 22 wounded and produced two Medal of Honor recipients"

'Those guys didn't have the complete support they needed ... because all the assets and everything were diverted to us,' a member of Bergdahl's platoon said

So it was indirect? Makes no difference to me. Unit readiness was compromised by Bergdahl’s desertion, and soldiers died.
