mitigating factors RE Bergdahl

[republicanchick]

I think the government is partly to blame in the Bergdahl/treason thing

no, they are not responsible for him committing treason (or whatever u call it)

but they are somewhat responsible for ACCEPTING him into the army in the first place

there is evidence he had "mental problems" or whatever you call it b4 he was finally accepted

I am not saying he shouldn't be court martialed. I think what the army is doing is right on

But maybe he should get a lighter sentence or something. Or maybe the Army people who accepted him ought to be... disciplined or something

Army Report Confirms Bergdahl Never Intended to Desert

Jason Ditz, March 27, 2015




The charges leveled against freed POW Sgt Bowe Bergdahl this week are making less and less sense the more details of Army reports emerge, as the Army had apparently concluded that Bergdahl did none of the things he’s being charged with.

Bergdahl is facing two main charges, desertion and misbehavior before the enemy. The later was seen as particularly strange at the time, since the Army had already cleared him of misconduct during his near five years as a hostage months prior.

The latest details are that the Army report explicitly says Bergdahl never intended to desert, either. Bergdahl left his outpost in July 2009 to report wrongdoing, planning to walk to the nearest base to report it to senior officials.

The details of what he intended to report still haven’t come to light, but officials called them “disturbing circumstances,” adding that he “wasn’t planning to desert.” Charging him with desertion, then, makes no sense at all.

Hawks were objecting to the POW exchange last year when it happened, and have attacked Bergdahl for getting captured in the first place. It seems that this political bias against him is fueling a lot of the momentum behind the charges, as the facts that have come to light so far don’t support the charges at all.

I guess all those men he served with Bergdahl who say he deserted are LYING, eh?

and I guess those emails home about he hates America are all... well, his fingers just accidentally touched those particular keys on the keyboard..

don't get O'Reilly saying he shouldn't get prison time.

don't get Krauhammer saying (paraphrase) the swap was no big deal

hmmmm


weird

but like the men he served with say, it would be good if there were a trial b/c then we might learn a few things. I wonder why it seems the gov is keeping something from us on this..

shocker, I know...

I basically agree. He probably wasn't a great candidate, but the country needed soldiers, so we weren't too picky. I'm sure that will all be taken into account in his trial.
