The U.S. military's top appellate court on Friday rejected a legal challenge made by former Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl over his court-martial conviction for deserting his post in Afghanistan.
Bergdahl's lawyers argued that repeated comments made by President Trump -- both while he was a presidential candidate in 2016 and then later as commander in chief, when he repeatedly ridiculed Bergdahl -- prevented the ex-soldier from receiving a fair trial.
Trump has referred to Bergdahl as a "traitor" and even suggested he be shot or thrown from a plane without a parachute.

He deserved the death penalty. He was a deserter who upped with the enemy (and had been communicating with them beforehand). Other died tried to look for his sorry arse.

Why his rank was reinstated is beyond me.
Anyone else would have remained “E Nothing”.

From the article.
Bergdahl pleaded guilty in 2017 to desertion. He was spared prison time but was dishonorably discharged from the military as a private.

Horseshit. He should have been summarily executed.

I thought he should have been hung.
At minimum, he should have been in prison for life.

I’m rather partial to the ‘throwing him from the plane’ idea.

And got $300k in tax free back pay supposedly.

NO; he should have been convicted at a drumhead court martial.
Then put up against a raghead wall and SHOT!

He was apparently cross-trained as a dancing boy while in captivity, so he always has that, as a career to fall back on.
