#3 So he was going to the go to another base to report 'leadership problems' and cause a massive manhunt but decidled to single handily defeat the Taliban along the way. He just got lost along the way, not his fault.

Not delusional - he's Lying.
And since he purposely caused the manhunt he should be held responsible for the deaths that were a result

#5 In courts martial he has the option to issue a statement on his own behalf and not testify, which would make him subject to cross examination (not just from the prosecutor but also members of the board).

No. We do not say things that could be a threat to Americans.

#9 I noted with some interest the tricksy lawyer technique of having MG Dahl testify about this ridiculous story so there could be no cross exam and Bergdahl never took the stand at the Article 32 hearing. I also just read that Dahl is now LTG Dahl. What a coincidence!

#12 Be fair here; he did participate in a raid which freed five VIPs from an island military prison.
