It is, but there are tons of court martial cases that have shown an actual presumption of guilt was in place due to evidentiary rules that are seriously stacked against military folks. Do a google search for "presumption of innocence UCMJ" and prepare for a couple hours of reading.
These cases are all over the board. When in the military, you have basically given up your 4th amendment rights if you live on base. 5th amendment rights are unclear at best even after assignment of counsel. Because you cannot refuse a lawful order, you can be ordered to reveal evidence that may incriminate you.
I worked investigations in the Air For a for a while. It's much easier to convict than in the civilian world

W gave up high profile, dangerous enemies for a deserting doper.
Is there no price WE have to pay for this traitor's legacy?

It was a legitimate question. He's charged with an 85, right?

Why isn't he still held by the Taliban, where he chose to go, where he belongs. Not walking the streets here, streets paid for by people who he betrayed.

Still say he was the cover for the real trade.

Bombshell just dropped on the O'Reilly show by David Hunt, the former Colonel. He claims Bergdahl joined the Taliban and the WH knew it two days after he deserted. He says they got a tape recording of the Taliban using his phone and wanting to join the Taliban.

If true, then trading 5 terrorists for his release just got even worse.

He will probably be let off with only a less than honorable discharge.
The defense attorney is arguing that he was traveling 19 miles to report to a general problems with 'chain of command' at his unit. By 0bama standards, that makes him a hero.

Sure glad we got this slug back at the expense of giving up five terrorists. I mean, how much harm can five really, REALLY bad guys do...
Another Obama/Kerry negotiating win.
