Bowe Bergdahl faces life in prison
New charge 'misbehavior before the enemy'

U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who faces accusations of desertion for leaving his Afghanistan post in 2009 and ultimately landing in the hands of the terrorist Taliban enemy, has now been hit with a new charge – “misbehavior before the enemy.”

And that seldom-tapped charge, which hasn’t been used since World War II, could put Bergdahl in prison for life, various media reported.

Read the WND book that inspired the film, “Ride the Thunder: A Vietnam War Story of Honor and Triumph” – autographed at the WND Superstore!

The full charge is “misbehavior before the enemy by endangering the safety command, unit or place,” the Army said in a statement. It also “alleges that Bergdahl endangered the safety of troops at Observation Post Mest in Paktika Province by walking away and causing the military to launch ‘search and recovery operations,’” USA Today reported.

Bergdahl’s desertion charge, by itself, carries a five-year sentence. But the added charges could put him behind bars for life.

Bergdahl’s former military colleagues have alleged he didn’t just innocently wander from camp, but rather purposely deserted, and in doing so, put others at risk.

Bergdahl SHOULD be facing a firing squad.

Presidential pardon??

This guy is an Obama hero because he deserted.  No way he's going to let him rot in a military prison.

Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.

I expect that the military will indeed try Bergdahl, and that he will receive a very harsh sentence.

But I also expect that (as one of his last acts before he leaves office) obama will issue a pardon to Bergdahl, giving his reason for doing so that Bergdahl has suffered enough and "served enough time already" while with the taliban "captors".

obama may not even wait that long to do so...
