Bergdahl gets no prison time!!

While I am disheartened by the news, I am not outraged.
The biggest travesty in this whole ordeal is the lives lost looking for him.
I don't believe his intent was to bring harm to his fellow soldiers.
He was a captive for several years and the court likely took that into account.
One of the biggest shams is Butt Buddy Barry seeing to it that he was promoted.
 
A DD and no prison time? Is that a first?

Nope, many were/are given DD's with no jail time. Most never realize how your service record follows you all your life, it can open difficult doors or slam them real quick. With a DD there is no chance in hell of doing anything for uncle or major company's the rest of your entire life.

I'm aware of the DD repercussions (23 years in the Army), but I had never heard of one with no associated prison time. You have to WORK to get a DD.
 
Cause and affect. The "getaway driver" had no intention of his cohorts shooting everyone in the bank. NO DIFFERENT HERE.

This removes any respect for the military judiciary. The MEN who died because of this (?) actions are not being respected.
 
I think it's total bullshit. A token time in jail at a minimum. Maybe serve the remaining time on his contract from the day he walked... SOMETHING.

But, he's the piece of shit that will have to look in a mirror every day knowing good men died and severely wounded trying to find his sorry ass all because he walked away.

Hopefully if he's been treated so bad by the USA, he'll move his worthless ass to goatfuckistan. Good riddance I say.
 
Wow. Bummed by this.

FDkay- i dont believe he was a "prisoner". More like he hung out and helped the terrorists he was supposed to be killing.

As said before, how long before he moves in with Bradley "Chelsea" Manning?

Back in my time, a DD was not that hard to get?
We had a guy get one in basic, an 2 get them in AIT. One draftee, got one for trying to knife a 2 star,... to me he should have got a medal but that's another story.

oh dont worry, im sure his bleeding heart communist and Democratic buddies will pick him up......probably give him a multimillion dollar "book deal" (aka payoff) to cover his living expenses
 
I will always believe that his initial attempt with abandoning his post, was take side with the enemy to fight long side . This is pretty fucked up and better men have gotten far worse treatment for lesser crime .

Exactly. He wasn't going to get home on foot from there. He knew where he was going and what he was doing the whole time.

He will be a fellow at Harvard by Monday.

Fuck me, what kind of morons do we have in Massachusetts academia?..:)

^^^ That is exactly right. With hundreds of thousands of dollars, a book deal, a movie deal and he'll have all the goats he can screw... which will probably his new path.

Let me guess... the judge in the case was also an Obama donor and promoted through the ranks during 8 years of officer litmus tests and a "Please ask, do tell" military.

And all he has to do is give back $10K of his pay? Which he has been collecting for, what, 7 years?? As a Sergeant?

To make matters worse, his lawyers are appealing his Dishonorable. On the grounds that "it will hurt his future" and it "takes away his VA rights" and he needs them, because he has mental issues now.

I was already in a foul mood today When I heard this... it did not help.

What a travesty.

Sirhr
 
I think they should take him out in the woods, set him on a stump, drive a railroad spike through his ball bag[scrotum] and push him over backwards. Then walk away and not return unless there are Ravens and vultures circling overhead. FM Give the birds at least 3 days to work before returning.

I was thinking along the lines of taking him out to Yuma during the high summer, giving him half a canteen of salt water, and shooting him in the knees.

Sounds to me like he needs to be in a home for the criminally treasonous. They'll give him free medical and mental health care, and he can still get his book deal. What's that place called again? Oh yeah, PRISON.

 
Piece of shit was helping the enemy . How many Taliban held US POWs have you heard of before this . I've not heard of any so it would seem to me that this piece of shit was giving info and possibly working with the Taliban . Morther fucker needs the slowest medically assisted most fuckin painful death known to man . He POS old man should go out with him . Throat punchin is to good for this prick .

One can hope someone shows him the tried an true method of self castration. Works ever time on every continent. You nail his dick an balls to a very large tree or stump, set fire to all the fuel you placed around him, give him a suitable knife an enjoy the show. No one has chose to burned to death yet. Some wack the sack an dick, others stab their self's in the heart. No matter the choice they make they pay the price. The self castration thing is kid shit, compared to what they go thru if they don't give up the Intel your looking for. Some places it's better to eat one of your own, and I love to teach him that simple lesson.
 
this world is upside down. he will have a book deal and be a constant military advisor commentator and expert on islamist to some dyke on a liberal news channel. im sure he will have a muslim beard.

but one day some vet who loved his country and served with honor will get the news he has terminal cancer or somthing and will fufill one last misson. trust me this fucker is gonna be #1 on alot of peoples cancer hit list.
 
I believe that several states have a law that takes all the profit from sales of a book about a crime from the criminal and puts the money in a victims fund. I wish something like that could be brought into play in this case.

I agree. In addition, the military has admitted they gained priceless insight into captivity, survival in those situations and how they operate with hostages. His time in captivity wasn't a vacation. He's also been completely cooperative. Those that died looking for him, truly a shame, but in the immortal words of those here in the pit, they all knew what they signed up for. Can't have it both ways, those that died looking for him died doing what they signed up to do.

To put him in prison now only further highlights the lack of mercy by a nation that loves to hide behind religious and other values but seldom stands high enough to hold 'em. Besides, why blow more money on it? It's not like putting him in prison is going to stop soldiers from defecting to ISIS --it's never been a problem. No need for deterrent. He's a one off, an outlier. As such, he should be treated as one. It was an unfortunate situation, one which we don't know the whole of --I'm betting his unit fucked with him beyond what he could handle and he said "fuck it". I've seen this first hand. We don't know.

The dishonorable discharge will follow him around, but in 6 months IIRC he can get it changed to "other than honorable" which is an honorable discharge that isn't. If that makes sense. He won't qualify for certain benefits. Don't know how it affects him with VA because that's almost guaranteed 100% disability otherwise and he may end up needing some of that. From what I understand, his mind is pretty fucked up. He looks a lot better off than he actually is, the way I understand it.
