Military selects rarely used charge for Bowe Bergdahl case

bowe0Military prosecutors have reached into a section of military law seldom used since World War II in the politically fraught case against 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 — but he was also charged with misbehavior before the enemy, a much rarer offense that carries a stiffer potential penalty in this case.

“I’ve never seen it charged,” Walter Huffman, a retired major general who served as the Army’s top lawyer, said of the misbehavior charge. “It’s not something you find in common everyday practice in the military.”

Bergdahl could face a life sentence if convicted of the charge, which accuses him of endangering fellowsoldiers when he “left without authority; and wrongfully caused search and recovery operations.”

  1. Well now boys and girls, that was quick………..NOT !!

    Obama’s fix remains, even though bergdahl has the blood of his fellow Army warriors on his hands and his confirmed desertion.
    He’s been promoted, received back pay, military benefits and walking free among faithful Americans.

    LET’s see what BIG Army does with one big TRAITOR.
    Send him to west point for a pillow fight?

    I would say the Army’s integrity in on the line, but that is nearly
    invisible anymore because of Dempsy.

  2. I apologize, I had forgotten to add that bergdahl is the most loathsome piece of shit that breathes the fresh air of those who died trying to rescue him when he didn’t wish or want to be rescued.

    Give him what he deserves…..no quarter.

  3. I hope that vermin-ridden, loathsome, shit stained, goat humping, America hating, traitorous, vile, disgusting piece of shit, son of a lying enemy fucker gets everything that he has coming to him…slowly.
