Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl will be charged with desertion!
WASHINGTON (PNN) - March 25, 2015 - Bowe Bergdahl spent nearly 5 years in Taliban captivity. But his ordeal isn't over yet.
An anonymous Fascist Police States of Amerika official said that the Army sergeant, who abandoned his post in Afghanistan and was held by the Taliban until a prisoner swap on May 31, 2014, will be court martialed on charges of desertion and avoiding military service, as well as with misbehavior before the enemy.
An official announcement is expected later on March 25.
Bergdahl walked away from his post in Afghanistan and was captured, then released from Taliban captivity this past May. In exchange, the FPSA returned 5 Taliban detainees held at Guantanamo Bay, who were considered to be some of the last high-value Taliban prisoners still in FPSA custody.
General Mark Milley, head of FPSA Army Forces Command at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, has been reviewing the massive case files and had a broad range of legal options, including various degrees of desertion charges.
A major consideration was whether military officials would be able to prove that Bergdahl had no intention of returning to his unit - a key element in the more serious desertion charges.
The case presents a number of challenges to military prosecutors. They will have to determine Bergdahl's intentions and state of mind in the middle of a war zone, something that legal experts believed would be difficult to establish up to the military's legal standards. But members of Bergdahl's unit have consistently stated that they believe Bergdahl deserted, so it's possible that investigators were faced with evidence that was too overwhelming for them to ignore.
