Valin Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Hot Air Ed Morrissey November 3, 2017 Was five years in Taliban captivity enough punishment? The military judge in Bowe Bergdahl’s court-martial for desertion and misbehavior before the enemy has apparently reached that conclusion. Bergdahl will get a dishonorable discharge at a lower rank and forfeit his back pay, but will leave the military a free man otherwise: Quote Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl will serve no prison time for endangering fellow soldiers when he walked off his post in Afghanistan in 2009 and was captured by the Taliban. Army Col. Judge Jeffery R. Nance said Bergdahl will be dishonorably discharged when issuing the ruling Friday after nearly two weeks of testimony by Bergdahl’s former comrades. Bergdahl, 31, was held by the Taliban for five years before being released in a prisoner swap in 2014.

Why should that matter? ....... What an absolute insult to those that died and were wounded for trying to rescue this THING! COMPLETE MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE! My estimation of JAG lawyers can't possibly be any lower than my opinion of Army Col. Jeffery R. Nance. This presiding judge is a complete nancy-boy and idiot...that did NOT uphold the spirit OR the tradition of the US Military...but instead injected his dumb-ass "feelings" into what should have been a pretty straight forward judgment with a freaking penalty that burns ever so freaking slightly for the Progressive Socialist clown & saint...quisling & deserter. Aaaaaargh! I am so pissed... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
