Apparently our military and justice system have been politicized to the point where treason is punishable by a slap on the wrist I am disgusted I don’t even know my country anymore but this guy should be making big rocks into small rocks at Leavenworth if anybody should and facing the death penalty as well despicable

Yahoo News:

“The controversial decision concludes a fraught episode in U.S. military history. Bergdahl had been captured by the Taliban hours after leaving his post and held captive by the Haqqani network, allies of the Taliban, for five years. Several U.S. service members were injured searching for Bergdahl. Some critics claim that his actions led to the deaths of American troops but the prosecution did not provide evidence of this. Former President Barack Obama was heavily criticized after trading five Taliban terrorists for the soldier in May 2014.”

Good men died in Benghazi because of Hillary but she gets off because her name is not Bergdahl. America where is your desire for justice?

The Judge should be ordered to meet these families in person.

He will be given back pay of about $300K and probably a book deal. The families of our dead and wounded heroes get nothing.

The president distorts the meaning of duty, honor, country

WASHINGTON TIMES, December 16, 2015

President Obama and his aides tried to cover Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl in glory, even receiving his parents at the White House. But contradictions in his story of captivity in Afghanistan have overturned the narrative.

Sgt. Bergdahl now faces a general court martial and similarly, Mr. Obama’s exchange of terrorists imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay for his return is weighed in the court of public opinion.

Attempting to trade America’s security for a public relations coup disgraces the nation, and most of all, the president himself.

The Army charged Sgt. Bergdahl with desertion and misbehavior before the enemy, a serious indictment for which he could be sentenced to life in prison.

The 29-year-old soldier disappeared from his unit in Afghanistan in 2009.

He was captured by the Taliban and had been held in captivity for five years when the president traded him for five senior Taliban commanders imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay. No date has been set for the court martial.

The Pentagon’s sober announcement is a jarring departure from Mr. Obama’s stagecraft in May 2014 when he appeared with the soldier’s parents in the White House Rose Garden to celebrate the news that Sgt. Bergdahl had been freed.

The president’s national security apologist, Susan Rice, said he had served “the United States with honor and distinction.”

Then his fellow soldiers came forward to tell another story, that his disappearance had all the signs of desertion, and that a half-dozen American soldiers were killed searching for him. Some honor. Some distinction.

The Bergdahl case has become a symbol of Mr. Obama’s determination to redeem his 2008 campaign pledge to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay, national security be damned.

The five Taliban evildoers are only the most notorious of the hundreds of foreign fighters the president has released over the years.

Mr. Obama rationalizes that the prison is a recruiting tool for terrorists. More accurately, America’s very existence is a recruiting tool for terrorists, and the president’s job is to defend the nation.
