They usually end up with a plea,&#8221; said Gary Solis, a Georgetown University law professor and a former military lawyer and judge.<\/p>\n<p>Bergdahl&#8217;s case is likely to end with a plea deal as well, according to military lawyers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is a case nobody wants to see go to trial,&#8221; Solis said. &#8220;Bergdahl just wants to go home. And for the Army, this case is just an embarrassment.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Sorry, Gary Solis and LA Times, this trial isn&#8217;t about Bergdahl or about the Army &#8211; it&#8217;s about Bergdahl&#8217;s victims, his squad mates and all of he people who were out looking for him and the casualties that resulted from that endeavor. Not to mention, the American taxpayers who footed the bill for it all, and the Americans who are now in danger because of the terrorists who were released in exchange for his freedom. A plea deal isn&#8217;t going to work for all of those people. We want the facts and we want to hear about the facts straight from Bergdahl&#8217;s mouth. That would be the only justice in this case.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t say &#8220;no one wants to see a trial&#8221; when everyone needs a trial to put this behind us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yeah, that&#8217;s the gist of the title of an LA Times article, the quote comes from &hellip; <a title=\"LA Times: No one wants to see a Bergdahl trial\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=59572\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">LA Times: No one wants to see a Bergdahl trial<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":53658,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-59572","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-military-issues"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59572","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=59572"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59572\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/53658"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=59572"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=59572"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=59572"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
