And that Commie POS in the ARMY / from West Point, too. I wonder how he'll fare.

Absolutely disgusting. Should have been hung or shot, along with that freak manning.

Yeah, him and that 'Reality Winner' chick as well - forgot about both of them. Will be interesting to see if they get away with slaps on the wrist as well.

This will only encourage more disruptive behavior from others who enlisted for selfish reasons.

Wow.

I was hoping that he'd get life and was very disappointed that the prosecution only recommended 15 years.

This? Just...wow.

What a fucking Crock Of Shit!

I'll bet this traitorous deserter asshole is eager to profit off of his deadly cowardice with interviews, book and movie deals.

WTF?

Both

Apparently the judge decided that Bergdahl had "suffered enough", as his lawyer stated.

Unfortunately for the families of those killed, and for those who were maimed for life, the suffering goes on.

I had hopes the military justice system would not be as corrupt as our civilian one but apparently that is not the case.

I can't believe I'd already forgotten that horrendously named fool of a girl.

Yeah, the one who was crazy enough to bank on her self-described cuteness to save her.

Now he'll move on to get 100% disability from the VA for PTSD suffered at the hands of the enemy he fled to.

Or am I mistaken that he is still eligible for VA benefits, because even with a DD, he will still have a DD214?

No VA benefits for an "other than Honorable" Discharge In most cases, there are exceptions.

No VA benefits for a DD.

^^ His attorneys are trying to overturn the DD too. They don't want him marked for life. We'll see where that goes.

At least there is sanity in that.

I believe a dishonorable is considered as a felony in some states no? Still not a very good example to dissuade others from doing the same in the future.

I agree 100% with our President and his assessment of the ruling

A travesty.

No other way to say it.

I almost believe that the judge made this ruling to spite President Trump.

So the judge deserted as well?
