CDZ poll: Will Bergdahl be convicted

[Auld Phart]

and if so,

 

[Auld Phart]

what will Obama do?

 

[daws101]

and if so,

The president will do none of the listed choices.

 

[DarkFury]

I think he will commute the sentence even if it costs the democrats. He IS islamic first and a democrat second.

 

[Desperado]

Obama has been pardoning all sorts of traitors lately, Bergdahl would only be his latest

 

[TheOldSchool]

Probably nothing

 

[Two Thumbs]

this will be swept under the rug or he will pardon him at the end of his time in Ofc

 

[Two Thumbs]

oh, and

He won't man up and apologize for trading for a known deserter.

 

[ABikerSailor]

Personally, I don't think that Obama is going to do anything one way or the other.

 

[ABikerSailor]

The chances of Bergdahl being pardoned by Obama are zero. He's not going to interfere with the military's decision.

Me personally? I say give him a BCD or DHD, consider his time in captivity as time served and get him sent home with no benefits.

 

[S.J.]

He should be convicted because he IS a deserter but I wouldn't count on it, given that his parents are muslims and Obama will pull strings for him (again).

 

[S.J.]

He won't go to prison either way.

 

[shadow355]

Bergdahl is going to prison.

• Where's the poll option "take no action?"
• Where's the poll option "have something to say about it, but do nothing more than express an opinion?"

There are surely other actions Mr. Obama may take, but in speculating on what action he will take, among the critical facts to consider is that it is his Administration, the military of which he is Commander in Chief, that is prosecuting Mr. Bergdahl.

I don't know that Mr. Obama is of a mind (or not) to pardon Mr. Bergdahl. He clearly hasn't taken any preemptive action in that regard. It remains to be seen whether Mr. Bergdahl will solicit a pardon.

I'm not all that informed on military jurisprudence, so I must ask.

• Wouldn't giving Mr. Bergdahl either of those two types of discharge call for him being given a fair trial, hearing, or something?
• Can the things you suggest be summarily issued at the discretion of some panel or individual?

I think he will commute the sentence even if it costs the democrats. He IS islamic first and a democrat second.

Obama is a practicing Christian...

His actions say otherwise.

 

[Telekat]

His actions say otherwise.

What actions?

He should practice harder...because right now he's the Tennessee Titans of Christendom.
