Bergdahl News. Article 85 demands the ultimate penalty.

Thanks to Chaos 56 for sending me the link!

As more of the information came in, my unit, along with others in the community, simply stopped looking for him. As for the videos of Bergdahl in military and Afghan attire, we were privy to analyze and dissect all of the“unedited” video. We realized that he had vowed to help the Afghan people (meaning Taliban), and teach them tactics he had learned through his training. As for what he may have taught them, we are not sure, but we can say that American casualties and the amount of attacks in the area did increase following his capture.
After seeing what his father, now turned Muslim, had to say about his son in Afghanistan, I am truly appalled.  During his opening speech given at the White House, his father praised him for “helping” the Afghan people  and pushing for the release of all those detained in Guantanamo Bay. In the same speech, Mr. Bergdahl’s  father went on to praise Allah saying, “bism allah alrahman alraheem” which means “in the name of Allah the most gracious and most merciful”.

I'm loving this.

Not because of a political agenda but because the truth of this issue is getting out.  But why now?  I believe it had to do with the fallout from the VA scandal and the desire to try and get veterans into the Democrat party camp.

I believe that someone in the Obama administration honestly thought that the military community would be over joyed at the rescue of Bergdahl.

They didn't do there research.

But what is the real problem for the US Army?  Article 85 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice!...

(c) Any person found guilty of desertion or attempt to desert shall be punished, if the offense is committed in time of war, by death or such other punishment as a court-martial may direct, but if the desertion or attempt to desert occurs at any other time, by such punishment, other than death, as a court-martial may direct.”

The SecDef, the White House, the Idaho National Guard and the US Army Chief of Staff (along with other branches of govt and officials) have labeled Bergdahl as a PRISONER OF WAR!

By their own definition of his status, they have at the same time sealed this guys fate.  You can't be a POW without being at war.  There are witness that can testify that this guy deserted.  A death penalty case will be easy to prove.

At least if the UCMJ still carries weight....oh and why must the Army seek the ultimate punishment?  Because GOOD MEN died trying to rescue this person.  Bergdahl is a deserter AT BEST and a traitor/accomplice to murder at worst.
