Bowe Bergdahl to face desertion charges: NBC
I'm surprised - thought the Army would bury this.....
Will never happen.
i have ammoOne thing the Big Green Machine will not tolerate is insubordination and desertion.
Desertion in peace time gets the deserter "dropped from the rolls" after 30 days, then he gets listed with law enforcement as a "deserter." If ever apprehended, the deserter gets discharged with an OTH discharge certificate.
In wartime, however, a deserter in the face of the enemy must reckon with the death penalty.
As an affirmative defense to the accused, he did not serve in a declared state of war.
Congress shit the bed, because they allowed two presidents to wage war without a formal declaration of war.
More likely than not, the General Court Martial Convening Authority will offer the accused a discharge under less than honorable conditions.
The prosecutors will reach a plea deal, where the accused forfeits all his back pay and veteran's benefits.
That is probably the best we can hope for.
He is a worthless shit, and locking him up or killing him is a waste of tax payer moneys.
