Screw the AWOL, he left his post during the course of battle/while in a combat zone- that is desertion plain and simple. He should hang.
Missing/Captured: Bowe Bergdahl

If you were really into conspiracies you could argue the CINC told SecDef to do it (verbally or via email...with this admin. we know email disappears like a blond in Aruba), will deny it played a role, and then use the GAO report to emasculate the DOD. Of course, being in the military and using the "just following orders defense" wasn't valid until recently thanks to a guy in FL with a load of demo at his house...
That hard-drive had to be recycled, just like Lois Lerner's.

Pentagon used almost $1 mil of appropriated funds for GITMO prisoner swap, a no-no without Congressional notification.
Notification was for spending of the AF, not transfer of people.
What's the difference between this and what Gen Ham did at AFRICOM?

William Howe hung two deserters from a tree prior to the battle of Bunker Hill. And he was considered "lenient." We've become pussified in our treatment of deserters and traitors.
There was a senior Air Force officer in Afghanistan who did something similar: he took appropriated funds and used them for a totally different purpose. He didn't try to hide it during the investigation and said it was for the welfare of his people because the Army wasn't doing its part. He's now a 2-star.

The new 7th Army JMTC CG took funds from another unit to go to Afghanistan with his BCs before their deployment a couple years ago...all of them were relieved, he is now...well a one star.

Anyone heard anything new with this guy? Did he get his "captivity check"? Court Martial?
It seems like there hasn't been any new news on him in about three weeks or so.

It hardly matters if they tell us or not, we will know once he is charged or released etc...
I just hope they hurry up about it.

Politics. I'm sure they're citing national security reasons for much of the details however I'm sure redacted findings would be subject to FOIA.

Kinda forgot about Bergdahl.
Apparently so did the administration. FOX drives me crazy for being over the top sometimes, but I'm glad they wrote this:

I doubt it will get released prior to the State of the Union.

One of the points mentioned in the article, and I agree, is that if he is guilty of something, the administration is going to be on the defensive...again. Especially after the 5 yah-hoos we let go in trade for him, start causing havoc.
Bergdahl sent all his shit home, then walked away form his post.... we lost good people looking for a traitor, he should be deported to the same group he spent all that time with in the sandbox, the skinnies, not the Army. How simple can it be?
