Bergdahl to be court marshaled!  This is the best news I could have heard today.  The army is actually doing the right thing.

We did it.  if the 501st had remained silent, he would still be lauded as a hero.

Hillary Clinton: Bowe Bergdahl actions irrelevant

By LUCY MCCALMONT | 6/6/14 6:16 PM EDT Updated: 6/9/14 11:54 AM EDT

Hillary Clinton is defending the deal that freed Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, dismissing questions about how he fell into the hands of the Taliban as beside the point.

“It doesn’t matter,” Clinton said in an interview with ABC’s Diane Sawyer that aired Friday. “We bring our people home.”

The former secretary of state’s argument echoes that of President Barack Obama, who has come under fire for the prisoner swap that led to Bergdahl’s freedom amid questions about whether he may have abandoned his post and deserted or defected. The military is investigating.

Clinton’s comments come as the former secretary of state begins to make the rounds ahead of the release of her latest memoir, “Hard Choices,” on Tuedsay.

“I think this was a very hard choice, which is why I think my book is aptly named,” Clinton said, referring to the Bergdahl deal. “If you look at what the factors were going into the decision, of course there are competing interests and values. And one of our values is we bring everybody home off the battlefield the best we can. It doesn’t matter how they ended up in a prisoner of war situation.”

The Daily Beast reported this week that when Hillary Clinton was secretary of state, she was skeptical of the possible deal with the Taliban and was pressing for strict conditions in any agreement.







"We bring our people home"

Unless theyre being over run at an embassy and it wouldnt suit you politically to defend them.

Back in early 2005, my battalion commander made O-6 and that made him and Milley the same rank....it was very interesting after that.

Apparently Wolfman Napolitano says the Gov't will want a guilty plea from Berghdal to prevent Obama from being subpoenaed (which would happen after he leaves office).

So I'd think that he may be in deep shit if Barry wants to bury his secrets/failures.

Whisperings gauge opinions/polling - which drives politics, and this won't go well for the deserter.

That will go great with his Prisoner of War medal, 5 years back pay, and promotions he received





http://valor.militarytimes.com/recipient.php?recipientid=17724

Bowe Robert Bergdahl
Date of birth: March 28, 1986
Place of Birth: Idaho, Sun Valley
Home of record: Sun Valley Idaho
Status: POW

Bowe Bergdahl was held as a Prisoner of War for nearly five years after he was captured in Afghanistan, and was the longest-held Prisoner of War in the Wars on Terrorism.

Prisoner of War Medal

Awarded for actions during the Global War on Terror

Private First Class Bowe Robert Bergdahl, United States Army, was captured by the Taliban in Afghanistan on 30 June 2009 and was held as a Prisoner of War until his release in May 2014.

Action Date: June 30, 2009 - May 2014

Service: Army

Rank: Private First Class

Division: Prisoner of War (Afghanistan)





Link

(CNN) -- A U.S. soldier captured in Afghanistan in 2009 has received his second promotion while in captivity, U.S. Central Command announced Friday.
With the promotion, Bowe Bergdahl, 25, rises to the rank of sergeant. He was last promoted in June 2010 to the rank of specialist, according to Central Command.
Brig. Gen. Rick Mustion, the adjutant general of the Army, traveled to Bergdahl's hometown of Hailey, Idaho, on Thursday to deliver the promotion certificate to his parents.
The Army has been giving Bergdahl promotions that would have come to him had his Army career gone as planned. If he returns home safely, the Army will give him all the back pay that he has earned while in captivity.
Bergdahl was a private first class when he disappeared in June 2009, after finishing his guard shift at a combat outpost in southeastern Afghanistan's Paktika province. He has been seen in several videos released by the Taliban.

         and



       
(d)
         That, at the time, the accused was before or in the presence of the
         enemy.



     

     
Explanation.
       



     
(1) Running away.
       



     
(a) Running away.
       
"Running away” means an unauthorized departure to avoid
       actual or impending combat. It need not, however, be the result of fear,
       and there is no requirement that the accused literally run.



     
(b) Enemy. "Enemy”
       includes organized forces of the enemy in time of war, any hostile body
       that our forces may be opposing, such as a rebellious mob or a band of
       renegades, and includes civilians as well as members of military organizations.
       "Enemy” is not restricted to the enemy government or its armed
       forces. All the citizens of one belligerent are enemies of the government
       and all the citizens of the other.



     
(c) Before the
       enemy.
Whether a person is "before the enemy” is a question
       of tactical relation, not distance. For example, a member of an antiaircraft
       gun crew charged with opposing anticipated attack from the air, or a member
       of a unit about to move into combat may be before the enemy although miles
       from the enemy lines. On the other hand, an organization some distance
       from the front or immediate area of combat which is not a part of a tactical
       operation then going on or in immediate prospect is not "before
       or in the presence of the enemy” within the meaning of this article.
       



     
(2) Shamefully
       abandoning, surrendering, or delivering up of command.



     

       
(a)
         Scope. This provision concerns primarily commanders chargeable
         with responsibility for defending a command, unit, place, ship or military
         property. Abandonment by a subordinate would ordinarily be charged as
         running away.



       
(b)
         Shameful. Surrender or abandonment with-out justification is
         shameful within the meaning of this article.



       
(c)
         Surrender; deliverup. "Surrender” and "deliver
         up” are synonymous for the purposes of this article.



       
(d)
         Justification. Surrender or abandonment of a command, unit, place,
         ship, or military property by a person charged with its can be justified
         only by the utmost necessity or extremity.



     

     
(3) Endangering
       safety of a command, unit, place, ship, or military property.



     

       
(a)
         Neglect. "Neglect” is the absence of conduct which
         would have been taken by a reasonably careful person in the same or
         similar circumstances.



       
(b)
         Intentional misconduct. "Intentional misconduct”
         does not include a mere error in judgment.



     

     
(4) Casting away
       arms or ammunition.
Self-explanatory.



     
(5) Cowardly conduct.
       



     

       
(a)
         Cowardice. "Cowardice” is misbehavior motivated by
         fear.



       
(b)
         Fear. Fear is a natural feeling of apprehension when going into
         battle. The mere display of apprehension does not constitute this offense.
         



       
(c)
         Nature of offense. Refusal or abandonment of a performance of
         duty before or in the presence of the enemy as a result of fear constitutes
         this offense.



       
(d)
         Defense. Genuine and extreme illness, not generated by cowardice,
         is a defense.



     

     
(6) Quitting place
       of duty to plunder or pillage.



     

       
(a)
         Place of duty. "Place of duty” includes any place
         of duty, whether permanent or temporary, fixed or mobile.



       
(b)
         Plunder or pillage. "Plunder or pillage” means to
         seize or appropriate public or private property unlawfully.



       
(c)
         Nature of offense. The essence of this offense is quitting the
         place of duty with intent to plunder or pillage. Merely quitting with
         that purpose is sufficient, even if the intended misconduct is not done.
         



     

     
(7) Causing false
       alarms.
This provision covers spreading of false or disturbing rumors
       or reports, as well as the false giving of established alarm signals.
       



     
(8) Willfully
       failing to do utmost to encounter enemy.
Willfully refusing a lawful
       order to go on a combat patrol may violate this provision.



     
(9) Failing to
       afford relief and assistance.



     

       
(a)
         All practicable relief and assistance. "All practicable
         relief and assistance” means all relief and assistance which should
         be afforded within the limitations imposed upon a person by reason of
         that person’s own specific tasks or mission.



       
(b)
         Nature of offense. This offense is limited to a failure to afford
         relief and assistance to forces "engaged in battle.”



     

     
Lesser
       included offenses.



     
(1) Running away.
       



     

       
(a)
         Article 85—desertion
         with intent to avoid hazardous or important service



       
(b)

         without authority; going from appointed place of duty

—failure to obey lawful order

WaPo says Bergdahl got his charge sheet, and  update/presser in 5 minutes...

"Eugene Fidell, Bergdahl’s attorney, told The Washington Post that his client was handed a charge sheet on Tuesday. Army officials announced they will provide an update in his case at 3:30 p.m. at Fort Bragg, N.C., but declined to discuss new developments ahead of the news conference."

Okay, tinfoil on:

Bergdahl walks, gets rich on the lecture tour.  Gets shot and killed with an AR15 full of M855 by a "PTSD-stricken combat vet" in a few months....

Did the Marine desert in a combat zone and seek out the enemy, or did he bag out from Lejuene, Pendleton, or some other CONUS post?  Huge difference.

News conference at Fort Bragg at 3:30 pm.

Desertion and misbehavior before the enemy.


What are the (a) typical and (b) maximum punishments for this?

A recent case last month, a Marine for two years BCD other shit.  But this kind of thing doesn't happen often,

Death.

feel free to google "marine deserter".  Combat with a weapon.

That's exactly what Obama will do, IMO.

Y'all are delusional if you think Obama gives the slightest shit one way or the other. Berghdal is just some irrelevant little guy that was useful for Obama to be able to get a cool photo op and pretend to be "bringing home" a soldier.  He no longer cares, because there's nothing in it for him.  He cares about as much about Berghdal as he cares about some sob story he brings in for the State of the Union address, so they can stand up an everyone can clap while Obama pretends to care.  10 seconds later, he will have forgotten their name.

He'll probably not comment at all.  If he does, it's just be some empty statement like "I trust the military commanders to act appropriate with the new information they now have" - and then go play golf or whatever.

FBHO will pardon him if found guilty.

He would do best to ignore the whole situation.........and try to let it pass unnoticed, but we all know he won't be able to do that.

This, sadly.  I prefer the painful death route for him myself.

Well he did serve the terrorists with honor and distinction........

I wish someone had clipped that fucker and ended this shit appropriately. Pushing him out of the chopper would have worked too.
