I know of soldiers who did time in military confinement for AWOL statesides. This is an outrageous sentencing decision by a military judge who should know better.
Wrong! He deserves some time in the brig!
This AH should have never seen the light of day again. What an unjust outcome from the justice system.
No Social Justice Here.
I don't get it. If he's being discharged what salary are they talking about?
I would think by now we’d know name of judge, who appointed him, and voting record.
Bergdahl received an administrative discharge from the US Coast Guard in 2006 . His friends claim he was discharged for psychological reasons..why in the hell did the Army accept him? the man belongs in an institution at the very least and not released back into society. Something is very screwed up with this entire case. Obama is a disgrace for honoring this POS
Judge needs to be transferred to Afghanistan
The judge needs to be judged. Bergdahl should face street justice.
I worked separations for years in the Marine Corps. I never saw a sentence like this.
This shi* isn’t over yet. The next insult to our American servicemen will be when Bergdhal signs a multi-million dollar book deal, and all those injured by his actions sue for a piece of the book deal. Of course, the courts, now dominated by eight years of Obama appointed judges, will probably come down on Bergdahl’s side and he’ll walk away a multi- millionaire.
The Taliban is in the house.
Wrong, wrong, wrong. Good men died looking for this deserter, IIRC.
Free so he can make the rounds on liberal TV.. Justice failed again.
According to his lawyer: “He has lost nearly a decade of his life.”
Well, sir, others lost theirs completely.
Maybe he can get a job as a professional kneeler with the NFL.
Staff sergeant Clayton Bowen,
Private first class Morris Walker,
Staff sergeant Kurt Curtiss,
Second lieutenant Darryn Andrews,
Staff sergeant Michael Murphrey, and
Private first class Matthew Martinek
were all unavailable for commment.
He lost 8 years of his life? Really, is this dumb ass judge even a bit concerned about the men that died looking for his traitor ass and their families loss? I am beginning to really hate what Obama did to this country. Judges without spines are ruining the entire country.
I hope Trump orders the Army Chief of Staff to immediately deploy COL Nance to Afghanistan on a one year assignment where he will be given the mission to lead a platoon (normally a 2nd Lieutenant position) on search and destroy reconnaissance for jihadi enemy. No doubt within a short time they will engage the enemy. Let your imagination figure out the ending.
This sentence has Obama’s fingerprints all over it. It provides the maximum cover for Obama and ventriloquist dummie Susan Rice. Obama elevated the POS to the highest possible level when he hosted the parents in the Rose Garden to provide window dressing for his prisoner swap. Rice told us all on tv how Bergdhal served with honor and distinction. Obama gave us our longest eight years in our history.
