posty 2,296 Posted March 25, 2015 http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/checkpoint/wp/2015/03/25/bowe-bergdahl-once-missing-u-s-soldier-charged-with-desertion/?tid=sm_tw 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, Bergdahls 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. militarys 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.

Anyone who thinks it was a good idea to get this fockstick back in exchange for terrorists should be have their heads examined.I don't have access to the intelligence we had on the prisoners we exchanged them for. So I won't blindly say it was a good trade. I (nor any of you) know enough details to make that call. But as far as doing whatever it takes to bring an American back, I'd hope they'd do the same for me. And if he was brought back so that he can serve his sentence for desertion, then I'm fine with that, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
