Bowe Bergdahl WILL be charged with desertion

We all saw it coming.

Still this is unbelievable even for Barry! He doesn't do or say anything unless he stands to benefit. He thought parading the parents around like their worthless son was the second coming of Pat Tillman was going to pay dividends. He was sadly mistaken. Even from his warped perspective where did he see an upside in all this? The fact is we gave up 5 high ranking terrorists for a scumbag deserter, paid him $350,000 in back pay while Tahmooressi was left to rot in a Mexican jail, and then charge him with desertion so he could be put in jail! Where is the logic in this? What am I missing? They knew this long before the election and just like I said wouldn't announce it until after. Why? 

1. Because they knew it was a dumbass idea from the word go.

2. They counted on the "Gruber principle" but this time it backfired. 

The new precedent has been set...we don't negotiate with terrorists...until we do. It also goes to show you how this administration views the military. In short... they despise it. Bergdhal a deserter, was a higher priority then the decorated vet Tahmooressi.   

It boggles the mind!

An American army sergeant that was released by the Taliban last year in exchange for five prisoners is to be charged with desertion, it has been claimed.

Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl has been handed a charge sheet listing out the articles of the Uniform Code of Military Justice he has violated, retired Lieutenant Colonel Tony Shaffer has revealed.

The soldier was held captive by the Taliban-aligned Haqqani network in Afghanistan from June 2009 until May 2014, before being exchanged for Taliban members being held at Guantanamo Bay. 

Released US Sergeant Bergdahl to be charged with desertion

U.S. Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, who was released by the Taliban last year in exchange for five prisoners is to be charged with desertion

Retired Lieutenant Colonel Tony Shaffer said Sgt. Bergdahl's attorney had been handed a charge sheet detailing the articles of the Uniform Code of Military Justice that have been violated

Mr Shaffer, who now works for the London Center for Policy Research, said the decision had been confirmed to him by a number of sources.

Speaking on Fox News's The O'Reilly Factor, he said: 'His attorney was given what we call a charge sheet. A charge sheet is results of the investigation listing out the articles of the Uniform Code of Military Justice that have been violated. The key violation is desertion. And this has been done. The decision has been made. Let me be very clear. As a corporate entity, the Army has decided that they want to pursue Bergdahl for this violation.'

Sgt. Bergdahl was captured by the Taliban after he left his unit without permission in 2009. 

After his much criticized exchange the army launched an investigation which they concluded several months ago. 

Sgt. Bergdahl spent about two weeks recuperating at a U.S. military hospital in Germany after his release before being sent to Brooke Army Medical Center at Fort Sam Houston on June 13.

He was then said to have been put on administrative duties at the base, awaiting the conclusion of the case.

Bergdahl 'desertion' was the ultimate betrayal says his comrades.

Mr Shaffer went on to accuse the Obama administration of trying to keep the results of the investigation into Sgt. Berghal secret. 

He told the program: 'This is shaping up to be a titanic struggle behind the scenes,' he said. 'Believe me, the Army here wants to do the right thing … And the White House, because of the political narrative, President Obama cozying up to the parents and because he, President Obama, releasing the five Taliban … The narrative is what the White House does not want to have come out.'
