#1 Drudge notes Susan Rice flashback: Bergdahl served "with honor and distinction"

I guess in context/comparison to the rest of the Regime, it might not be totally inaccurate

#2 Even if he is convicted, O will just pardon him.

#3 Still it makes the adminstration look bad after they swapped some top talibunnies for this guy and called him a hero.

#7 What we should have done is when the Taliban brought him to the helicopter, we thank them, put Bergdahl on his knees, shoot him execution style and leave his body as the specops guys get back in the chopper and leave.

#8 Even if he is convicted, O will just pardon him

Possibly, even probably. I'm trying to figure how the WH will go about trying to convince him and his attorney to cop a plea agreement.

#9 I'm with Pappy. Champ and ValJar want this problem to go away quietly. Take a plea, a less than honorable discharge, a suspended sentence and a directorship from ACORN.

#10 Even if he is convicted, O will just pardon him.

Don't bet on it. Champ doesn't give a fig for Bergie and a pardon makes it look like his admin made a mistake. O's mouthpiece will simply say that it's an army matter now..

#11 It's been a while since I've looked at the UCMJ, but I am pretty sure that desertion in the face of the enemy is a capital offense. I can't see O letting Bergdahl actually face a firing squad.

#12 me either Rambler but we haven't executed anybody for combat desertion since '45 anyway...

#13 It appears that the multiculturalists @ NYT do not quite now how this works.

As I understand it, his exposure is:
Jail: Life + 5 years
Reduction in rank to E-1 on each charge.
Forfeiture of pay on each charge.

#14 What we should have done is when the Taliban brought him to the helicopter

What we should have done is, when they showed him to us, turn around and shoot the tallbunnies we were to release in the head execution style.

Then let the Taliban do with Bergdahl as they will.

No doubt the media and left will try to play the pity angle: "Hasn't he suffered enough? LEAVE BERGIE ALONE!"

#15 I hope the panel provides him his sex change, a burka, and a one way ticket back to the Taliban.

#16 Yuuup.

As per #2, I can see Bergdahl being given sympathy by Lefties as a de facto or living victim of the confusion and angst wrought by the Bushite GWOT on the USDOD + Amerika including the invasion of Iraq + Afghanistan.

#17 Even if he is convicted, O will just pardon him.

Empathy. They both turned their back on their oath to the Constitution.
