    Bowe Bergdahl To Be Charged With Desertion

    Bowe Bergdahl, once missing U.S. soldier, charged with desertion

    Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, the U.S. soldier who was recovered in Afghanistan last spring after five years in captivity, faces charges of desertion and misbehavior before the enemy, according to his lawyer.

    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.

    Bergdahl, 28, went missing from his base in Paktika province on June 30, 2009, and is believed to have grown disillusioned with the U.S. military’s mission in Afghanistan. He was held captive in Pakistan by the Haqqani network, an insurgent group allied with the Taliban, until a deal brokered through the government of Qatar was reached last year.

    Utterly shocking and completely unexpected.

      Sentence reduction for time already served?

          His time in captivity.
          I'd go along with that. If the desertion charge sticks it can go on his record, but I don't feel any further sentence will provide any additional 'Justice" on this on.
          The stain that will go along with the charge is enough, in my opinion.
          It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

            Why should that count in his favor?

              Because it is my opinion that it would be fair.
              I'm sure that captivity was worse than any he would serve in the states.

              I can't control how fair you feel it would be.

                He wanted to be there.

                  You think he wanted the captivity he suffered?

                    Given the required elements of one of the charges he's facing, yes.

                        I disagree. But that doesn't surprise me.

                            I haven't followed this story much. Why do they feel he's now a deserter instead of a soldier that was captured?

                              Supposedly, he walked out of his base intending to desert, IIRC.
