U.S. military chooses rarely-used charge for Bergdahl

Military prosecutors have reached into a section of military law seldom used since World War II in the politically fraught case against U.S. Army Sgt.Bowe Bergdahl, the soldier held prisoner for years by the Taliban after leaving his post in Afghanistan.

Observers wondered for months if Bergdahl would be charged with desertion after the deal brokered by the U.S. to bring him home. He was -- as well as misbehavior before the enemy, a much rarer offense that carries a stiffer potential penalty in this case.

Bergdahl could face a life sentence if convicted of the charge, which accuses him of endangering fellow soldiers when he "left without authority; and wrongfully caused search and recovery operations."
 
The military has scheduled an initial court appearance hearing for Bergdahl on Sept. 17 at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. Afterward the case could be referred to a court-martial and go to trial.
 
The Obomb has offered 5 million dollars out of our paychecks to re-catch at least one of the Muslim terrorists he released from Gitmo in the "trade", cause, you know, he's a terrorist and he's killing innocents, which is why our troops sent him to Gismo in the first place. Catch and release works for fishing, not so much for terrorists...

Shouldn't have invaded his country to begin with and he would not have targeted the US. :) See how simple that is. YOU don't **** with others,they won't retaliate. If they **** with you,you drop the ******* hammer. Not stick them in a cell for 10 years.
 
Is that why Japan attacked Pearl Harbor?
Japan attacked Pearl Harbor because FDR and the US had declared economic war on them.

The fact that they had invaded and raped their way across much of the pacific rim had little to do with economic sancutions,right?
Not our problem. We didn't seem to care Germany was creating a empire until Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. We NEVER cared that USSR murdered 20 million christians and spread communism across the world for 80 years.

Uhm, Germany declared war on us, professor. And yes, many cared and it was debated heatedly. Germany made the decision for us.

US allowed Japan to attack Pearl Harbor therefore forcing Germany's hand because of their treaty with Japan. Lindbergh and America First was right Roosevelt and his jew pals were wrong.
