Private Bowe Bergdahl’s sentence was approved by General Robert Abrams, the chief of U.S. Army Forces Command, sparing him a prison term, according to Stars & Stripes<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Gen. Robert Abrams, the chief of U.S. Army Forces Command, upheld the sentence handed down by the judge, Army Col. Jeffery R. Nance, in November at that conclusion of a weeklong sentencing hearing in Bergdahl\u2019s court-martial, FORSCOM spokesman John Boyce said Tuesday in a statement. Abrams was the convening authority in the court-martial, the senior official who oversees the case and must review and approve the judge\u2019s findings.<\/p>\n

Nance sentenced Bergdahl to forfeit $10,000 in pay, a drop in rank from sergeant to E-1 private and a dishonorable discharge, which stops him from receiving any medical or other benefits offered to most veterans. The judge could have sentenced him to as much as life in prison. Prosecutors had requested Bergdahl serve 14 years confinement.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Bergdahl was charged with \u201cmisbehavior before the enemy by endangering the safety of a command, unit or place\u201d and \u201cdesertion with intent to shirk important or hazardous duty\u201d after he was released from captivity by the Haqqani network of terrorists in exchange for five dangerous detainees. Bergdahl explained that he set off across the desert to warn some commander of his unit’s toxic leadership.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
