Army to decide if Bergdahl is entitled to $300G back pay
By Lukas Mikelionis | Fox News


The U.S. Army is set to decide whether Pvt. Bowe Bergdahl is entitled to as much as $300,000 in back pay and other benefits he amassed during his captivity with the Taliban.

Bergdahl, 31, was captured by the Taliban in 2009 after he walked off base while in Afghanistan. He was given a dishonorable discharge and he was demoted from sergeant to private in a court decision earlier this month but spared prison.  President Trump called the ruling a “complete and total disgrace.”

Hold on now, didn't the piece of excrement plead guilty to desertion and wasn't he convicted of desertion even though they effectively gave him a slap on the wrist for desertion at time of war and being responsible for the deaths and injury to his fellow soldiers that searched for him? How can he be owed anything? He should have to pay the families of those who died and were injured whole searching for him, he was directly responsible.

I wonder if he gets the back pay, if the survivors of those who got killed looking for his sorry ass could sue him for the money (and then some)?

I would be very tempted to file a civil suit.
