I guess there is a perception that the military runs things like the Romans? The UCMJ covers many things and does have legal recourse, though it is all packaged for military expediency to a degree. Part of the "dictatorship in defense of democracy" experience. View Quote |

You guys should listen to the Serial podcast about his case. It's not as clear-cut as you think. It sounds like he should never have been in the military to begin with due to mental and behavioral issues, but it really doesn't sound like he's a traitor or Taliban sympathizer. At any rate he was held and tortured by the enemy for 5 years. Further punishment seems pointless. View Quote |

View Quote But, since he is alive and made it back to us, I think that he should be hung by the neck to gently choke in the wind, a needle stuck in his arm and poison started, and a firing squad should squeeze their rounds off. I don't really care wether the rope, needle or bullets finishes him off. Then all the brothers of those who were lost or injured in his search should be permitted to desecrate his body at will. And that's just off the top of my head. I could get inventive if I took a bit to think about it. Probably ought to use a KA-BAR, too. |

View Quote I think he has taken a trial by Judge because his counsel knows that if he is tried by a jury his chances of being convicted are close to 100%. |

He needs to be tried and sentenced by men that have been in combat.

Cost the US a shit ton of money, 3. Cost people their lives. Now there's a big IF he cost other soldiers their lives, but as was laid out on the onset, a DUSTWUN requires everyone to stop what they were doing and look for him. If a soildier was in village B when he would have otherwise been in village A and he got shot and/or killed, it's on Bergdahl. If an OP was supposed to be shut down or get reinforcements and that didn't happen, and it gets attacked and people killed, that's on Bergdahl. Additionally, the mil took a lot more chances with raids looking for him. So yes, he did get people killed. |

Now this post has no Ranger Avatar but your other other does. What's up with that? I simply can't believe, that if you did in fact serve in Ranger Regiment, that you would write such a stupid fucking statement. "Further punishment seems pointless"? Are you fucking kidding me?

This is twice today I have seen really retarded comments in GD. Bergdal deserves to at the very least spend the rest of his life in jail. He is a deserter and a traitor. It is clear cut he deserted his post and gave the enemy information. No matter what mental or behavioral issues he has it is no excuse. Do you think he is the only guy with a mental issue in the army ? No , but he is the only deserter. View Quote |

Stop. Just stop. Why should anyone waste time answering your drivel when this has been beat to death for years. He's a fucking deserter in war who leant aid and comfort to the enemy.

He took his gear off and walked off fucking post in a warzone. He would not have remained a "POW" for so long if he had not been helping them, this is not exactly a leap in logic when EVERYONE ELSE captured by the same people gets their own vid with a quickness. His own dad has radical Islamic sympathies, not much of a stretch to believe that the apple didn't fall far from the tree. But I'm sure its just a "misunderstanding" and he just went on a run (while on duty, without any of his gear) and got captured. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

He deserted his comrades some of which died. He ran away front his oath like a coward and left his peers to fight and die. I could care less if they were looking for him or not. He swore a oath and should be punished for breaking it. Does he deserve death? The Judge and God will decide his fate. Either way I could give two shits if this coward dies or not. Good men fought and died and this POS deserted them. |

By definition, he is a deserter, and in wartime especially thats a big mistake.
We had a security forces guy fall asleep on guard duty. He went to jail. Thems the rules. Personal responsibility is a foreign concept to liberals, so dont expect him to get it. |

You guys are leaping to make low-information decisions. Berating me won't change that. I've been following the case and actually have done reading about it. I'm not saying he's completely innocent, but there's a large chance he's just a stupid, deluded kid with attention-seeking tendencies who shouldn't have been in the Army, but who isn't a traitor or defector.

I does not matter who convicts him, in GD any punishment less than death won't be acceptable.
