Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Bergdahl to Be Charged for Desertion

What about Treason

If they can make the case he was directly involved in giving aid and comfort to the enemy then by all means! I know there was some info about an ambush that happened shortly after he deserted where there is evidence to show he gave them that info, and if they can prove that, then kill his ass

If they run the desertion prosecution well enough, that may come out.

Man, I hope they get this guy.

So do I. Put him on the stand; he'll crack like glass.

Obama is a Terrorist hiding in this country

Most probably his council will play the PTSD card for all its worth.

It was disgusting seeing that worthless sucker as he was released to our servicemen with all his facial distortions, eyebrow stretching and eye blinking malingering BS trying to make people think he was having problems with his eyes and vision from being brought from the dark to the light I suppose.

Anyone suffering from the brightness squints their lids nearly closed to reduce glare whether from corneal disease or light deprivation.

After the trial when Barry leaves office...

He will never take the stand.

Something tells me Bergdahl said something in his debrief that cut his own throat. Otherwise, if they had a complete case they would have arrested him shortly after he got back.

On cases like this, the Army doesn't choose to prosecute unless they have a damn good case; his goose is probably cooked.

During wartime desertion will get you a death sentence, but this wasn't a declared war. Anyone know the law on that?

Not just his debrief, but there's something in those files the White House is hanging on to.

As for the penalty, he'll likely not receive a death sentence but the Army will certainly strip him of all rank, all benefits, any back pay and allowances, and dishonorably discharge him.

If there's anything they have or can get that they can try him for on treason or aiding the enemy, then they'll go for imprisonment or death (still highly unlikely on the latter).

The case against him, even without his testimony is pretty solid. He was not arrested after he got back because the WHITE HOUSE wanted this to go away and instead used the PTSD angle to stave off arrest. It had nothing to do with what they had on him.

I wish he was hiding.

Absolutely! Still, zero will do all he can to stall and obfuscate the matter. I wouldn't be surprised if it never is tried. But nothing ever surprises me about this criminal and treasoness administration.

Oh, he'll be tried and he'll be tried soon.

Marine Corp Lt. Col. Dabney helped write the UCMJ and after retirement made lots of money defending guys charged under it.

I was told by a friend who hired him [ and was exonerated ] that Dabney told him:

"I can beat any charge except U.A. or AWOL. You were either there, or you weren't."

The only hint of a defense I can see (from what very little I've read) is that when he went on his walk, it was reported that he went on those walks many times in the past. I see that as the only issue his defense can raise in court to try to save him. The rest of the evidence against him is pretty damning...I don't see the guy winning his case.

What's more, it appears that he did give "aid and comfort" to the enemy. And if he had anything to do with getting other soldiers killed, they need to fry his ass!!

I'm also happy to hear this, but it's clear to me that Obummer put pressure
on the Army to delay the desertion charge until after the election.

WTF has the cowardly POS been doing for the last year or more ?
