Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl gets dishonorable discharge, no jail time

The 31-year-old Army sergeant pleaded guilty to desertion and misbehavior before the enemy and had faced up to life in prison.

I thought he would do a minimum of eighteen months. Life lesson: study law instead of carrying a rifle. Lawyers can twist anything.

[michaeldidomenico]

This is a disgrace to all people who risked their lives, to find this traitor.

[annebahr]

Bowe Bergdahl had the O.J. Simpson dream team lawyers. It’s sad to think that he only got a slap on the wrist with no jail time.Needs to help pay for medical fees to the soldiers that he hurt

[americafirst]

The same punishment as someone who smoked pot.... How in the hell did he get zero time???

[mrcashball]

Should get no prison time just time on the gallows. What the fuck is wrong with judges!

[chrisfromm]

Bowe knew better. He took off his armor, piled down his rifle. SLipped through the wire. In less than two hours time, he was tackled and wisked off on the back of an Iranain made motorcycle. The military paid money to a conman also.

[demonwalker]

Another slap in the face for our hard-working soldiers

[chrisfromm]

In a Hillary Administration, they would of made Bowe the Seargent Major of the Army along with the transsexual marching band.

Can't believe no prison time! He's lucky he didn't get death penalty! He should have gotten life in prison with no possibility for parole!

[chrisfromm]

Espirit de Corp minus one. National Guardsman Sergent Allen lives in a chair for this putz. Somebody needs to kick the recruiter who enlisted Bowe in the nads.

[davidgarbersr.]

No jail time? I got 11 days for a un paid traffic ticket.

[williammatthews]

Are you fucking kidding me? A dishonorable discharge, lowered pay, and no jail time is a minor slap on the wrist. This is beyond ridiculous.

[aanon]

desertion in time of war. execution. if you want to be merciful because he already suffered with taliban, life in prison. no prison time?! is a slap in the face to all military.

[HunterDvorak]

This makes me sick to my stomach. This is like Hillary Clinton not getting indicted for Benghazi.

[chrisfromm]

Someone should ask Donna Brazille what she thinks about Bowe.

[joef]

In my opinion, this guy should have been hung. This so called judge should be removed from the bench immediately.

[goodgoat]

As a Vietnam era veteran I am extremely disappointed with this decision. Med were seriously wounded and killed while searching for this traitor. The gallows would have been a much better choice. And Obama traded 5 top terrorists for this traitor? This is a travesty of justice!

[kayp]

He won an appeal and his dishonorable discharge was rescinded.

[Tattoodtoolow]

It's safe to say now. There is zero justice in America.

[heathweather]

Dishonorable discharge will not affect him in anyway. He's famous now and will do well with a book signing. And future hero status.
