How in the world do these things go on for years? This trial should have been conducted and the verdict issued within the first 6 months of capture.

The Romans knew how to deal with desertion.
Fustuarium or bastinado — Following a court-martial sentence for desertion or dereliction of duty, the soldier would be stoned, or beaten to death by cudgels, in front of the assembled troops, by his fellow soldiers, whose lives had been put in danger. |

Roman punishment for entire cohorts dereliction.
Decimatio - a form of extreme military discipline used by officers in the Roman Army to punish mutinous or cowardly soldiers in exceptional cases. A cohort selected for punishment by decimation was divided into groups of ten; each group cast lots, and the soldier on whom the lot fell was executed by his nine comrades, often by stoning or clubbing. The remaining soldiers were given rations of barley instead of wheat and forced to sleep outside of the Roman encampment. This punishment was forgotten over time since the early Republic, but the ancient punishment was resurrected by Marcus Crassus during the Spartacus gladiator rebellion in 72 BC, when two of his legions disobeyed his direct orders not to engage the enemy. As a result, they suffered a terrible defeat. Crassus's response to the disobedience was brutal. He assembled the two legions and pulled out every 10th man as he walked across the ranks. Each man who was pulled out was to be beaten to death by his preceding nine comrades. Some scholars say that Julius Caesar joined these two legions to form his legendary "Legio X Equitata". |

He should be charged for the deaths of the soldiers who were killed searching for him.

I didn't realize charges had been brought in his case? When did this happen? Is he locked up pending trial?

I remember reading about him missing and feeling so bad for this guy and his family. Then once he returned I read that he walked away, all the Soldiers that died looking for him, and the additional details our .mil members shared here.
Hopefully he gets the hardest punishment allowed. |

What the fuck? A grizzly demise would be grisly. Bergdahl is a traitor and should be shot or hanged. |

Some Air Farce guy I used to work with was claiming he knew classified stuff about this turd and that the deserter gave up all kinds of quality information about AlQaeda. And this twat is a reservist plumber no less.

Private citizen Donald Trump made some comments.
President Donald Trump hasn't said anything about the case since becoming President as far as I know. |

Is he eligible for the death penalty? I could have sworn that he was. The news is making it sound like Life is the max he can get.

How did this judge slip under Obamas radar?
Fuck that guy, even name sucks. Trump wants to bring back military strength, start with a rifle execution of Bo. All the social experiments can self vacate. |

You guys are a little harsh. Let him apologize, take responsibility for his actions, and then we will drop him off in Syria with a PTAC carbine and if he survives the war, all will be forgiven.
