At a sentencing that took only minutes, the military judge, Col. Jeffery R. Nance of the Army, also reduced Sergeant Bergdahls rank to private and required him to forfeit $1,000 a month of his pay for 10 months. Prosecutors had sought 14 years in a military prison.
President Trump, who has labeled Sergeant Bergdahl a dirty rotten traitor, quickly criticized Fridays sentence, calling it a complete and total disgrace to our Country and to our Military.

I did serve in the military. I wasn’t endorsing the judge’s decision, just analyzing what might have been his reasoning.

Ok . Understood. I didn’t mean to jump your case- I’m not entirely rational about this judge. Or maybe I am.
