He got off Scott free… Why are you complaining?"The judge, Col. Jeffrey Nance, sentenced Bergdahl to a reduction in rank, a payment of $1,000 per month for 10 months and a dishonorable discharge, according to multiple reports.
Bergdahl pleaded guilty last month to charges of desertion and misbehavior before the enemy. He faced a maximum sentence of life in prison."
...during war time. The SOB could have ... probably should have ... gotten the death penalty, a life sentence at the very least.
Judge rules no jail time for Bergdahl
a dishonorable discharge isn't "skating" initially the officers who interviewed him didn't even think he should be courts martialed.
but if you wanted a heavier sentence, the orange idiot should have shut his mouth and not potty tweeted about the subject. just like the guy with the truck who committed the terrorist attack in NY on halloween... the idiot's comments are going to make an easy job for defense attorneys. he needs to shut up.
Once Obama became involved
Republicans demanded their pound of flesh out of Bergdahl
again, little one, it isn't "scott free".... try applying for a job with a dishonorable discharge. his life if over.
and again, for the uninformed, the officers who interviewed him when he came home didn't think he should be courts martialed.
for the record, he had been in the service previously and was allowed to withdraw because he had a breakdown in basic training. perhaps the military should have been cognizant of that.
