Bergdahl charged with desertion

So first you say "let the army handle it" then when it comes out that the guy indeed deserted and collaborated willingly with the enemy you say "is likely bunk"....
Drinking early today?

He stepped over the wire. I don't think you will see a charge of collaboration. And the Army will handle it, their way. I am OK with that. Always have been, its you political junkies I do not dispensing justice. You know squat.
I'm not a political junkie by any means. However he was wrong, can you tell us what you mean by he "stepped over the wire"..... I don't speak crazy.

What do you know about what he did over there Wildcat?
You know nothing and your posts on this subject are showing it.
I served twenty three and a half years in the military and three years overseas, two years in a combat zone and never dreamed of doing what this loser did.

I would assume it's a vietnam era term for desertion. The firebases used to be surrounded by barbed wire - so if you wanted to leave your post you had to step over the wire to get out.
Thank you, next I would like to know what Mr, Cat thinks this brave soldier did for the next few years after leaving his post..

I swear you're schizophrenic.
They do have intercepted radio transmissions from locals to the Taliban saying they had an American soldier looking for the Taliban so he could talk to them.
That's been known for months. So the other stuff.......maybe not so "bunk".
"I swear you're schizophrenic. "
Its illegal to practice medicine without a license. Be careful soldier.

I still think it was a good thing to get him out of the country, if only to face charges. I don't think it should be the practice of the government of the United States to leave soldiers in a combat zone, even if they've done something like this. The prisoners exchanged for Bergdahl weren't going to be charged with anything. We were going to let them go eventually anyway.
Of course I'm serious. What is the alternative? Prisoner exchanges have been happening since warfare first began. Is it suddenly horrible now? Would you like it to be the position of the government that we won't make every attempt to bring soldier's home? This man hasn't been convicted of any crime. Until he has, he deserves every protection and consideration that we would give any serviceman or woman.
For those on the board criticizing Obama on this, what would have been the better choice? Would it have been better to simply leave him in Afghanistan forever?
Swag, I'm guessing it would be anyone who took the lead from what his platoon mates said... That he deserted them and many were killed looking for him. You know... Those kind of politicos...

Officially from the white house, June of last year... "Bergdahl served with honor and distinction."

Reading wildcat's post has transported me mentally to psycho-land. He's not all there. Must have tipped over in his wheelchair and hit his head.
