And the families of those who died searching for this scumbag.....I hope this POS finds karma real fast. He deserves it.

This is a fire-able offence as in firing squad. Six servicemen dead or maimed
five top jihadi's back on the battlefield and he has the gall to blame POTUS because he thought he was mean callin for death penalty.
Judge also had already announced his retirement. Despicable to the core.

Absolutely disgusting:puke:

[upthecreek]

They should jail the judge along with that POS

[MONEY]

Bergdahl will keep getting paid until his appeal is settled.:ThmbDown:

"Dishonorable discharges automatically trigger an appeal in military court. Fidell said he would pursue an appeal, citing a need for Bergdahl to receive benefits in light of his mental health."

Sentencing Judge to retire soon.

"Nance said he purposely avoided media reports about Bergdahl’s case, adding, “I don’t have any doubt whatsoever I can be fair and impartial in this sentencing.” He intends to retire soon, he noted, and is not slated for a promotion, suggesting commanders had little leverage to pressure him to enforce a harsher penalty."

Although I agree with President Trump and all his points in this matter, I recognize the man entered a guilty plea and spared everyone the kangaroo media attention than would have followed so I think it is now moot. I prefer any and all focus to proactive instead of reactive to the next maggot who attempts mayhem and murder inside our borders.

They could have treated him while serving prison time

[OntheRail]

If there was ever a person that deserved a case of lead poisoning it was this POS... wouldn't it be hilarious if the appeals judge vacated his DD and hit him with a 223.. or a case of rope burn... I know it wont happen. Christ they gave titties to a trader and let a deserted walk. :puke:

They could have treated him while serving prison time

They could have shot the POS.

[davew]

They could have shot the POS.

while trading 5 terrorists for his return -> a drone could have blown up the entire group

[Tom]

Not a chance - Obama was just looking for a way to put more of his relatives back into the battle.
