Max penalty for desertion while in a combat zone is death. White House has been stonewalling Army decision to charge for 3 weeks now. What do you guys think? Is this justified?

I would have to be privy to all of the facts here but there is very strong evidence of willful abandonment of his post.

The charge? Yes absolutely. Death penalty? Not sure, would need to see all the facts.

Should he be prosecuted, yes.

Does he deserve death, no.

Good. He probably won't wnd up with death, but this has been a long time coming. If the rumors of him collaborating with Talis are true, then he should be executed by firing squad

Good. I was deployed when this guy went missing. He literally walked off the compound into Afghanistan alone. If that isn't the definition of desertion idk what is.

Will never happen this day and age.

There are several other soldiers that have stated Bergdahl willingly left his post and that it directly resulted in the deaths of some of those sent to find him.

IMO he should die... but he won't.

Weren't there some Army guys who got killed trying to find him?

Why not prosecute Obama too for breaking the law by releasing the 5 Taliban goons to get Bregdahl back? According to a congressional law, Obama needed congressional approval before releasing those 5 terrorists, which he didn't have...

When you think about it, being a Taliban hostage/POW was symbolically and practically the most fitting punishment he could have gotten. Shouldn't have made the trade.

The real tragedy is we gave up 5 terrorists from Gitmo for this pussy. What ever happened to not negotiating with terrorists?

Does anyone know why he decided to go strolling through Afghanistan by himself?

I'm assuming he's not nuts since he is currently working on an active duty post as a clerk.
