\"Bergdahl<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

The Associated Press<\/a> reports about yesterday’s hearing in the Bergdahl Article 32 hearing to determine if he should be tried for leaving his post and his mates for a five year stint among the Haqqani Network. His lawyer says that the most the Army should charge him with is one day AWOL;<\/p>\n

Bowe Bergdahl’s lead attorney says there is enough evidence to show that the Army sergeant’s case should be treated as a one-day stint of being away without leave, not a more serious violation.<\/p>\n

Eugene Fidell’s remarks came Friday toward the end of a hearing to help determine if Bergdahl should face a court-martial for walking away from his post in Afghanistan in 2009.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Major General Dahl, the lead investigator, testified that Bergdahl told him that he had intended to report to some general 19 miles away about problems Bergdahl had noticed in his unit. Yeah, that’s the best excuse he could come up with after thinking about it for five years? General Dahl testified that Bergdahl was “completely off the mark” in regards to his unit’s leadership. <\/p>\n

According to the Christian Science Monitor<\/a>, Dahl also recommended that the panel exercise compassion for Bergdahl. <\/p>\n

\u201cI do not believe that there is a jail sentence at the end of this process,\u201d Major General Dahl told the military court….<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A nurse, Curtis Aberle, testified that Bergdahl suffered extensive injuries and that he’ll require a lifetime of treatment. And, of course, there’s PTSD, too. Well, then they should lock his ass up and he can get his treatment at the prison clinic, I hear it’s very good. And they’re more dependable than the VA, so the panel would be doing Bergdahl a favor by locking him away if they recommended a court martial. In fact, that’s more compassion than he deserves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
