Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl has been charged with desertion and misbehavior before the enemy
Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl was charged Wednesday by the U.S. Army with desertion and misbehavior before the enemy.
On June 30, 2009,, Bergdahl deserted his post in Afghanistan and was captured by the Taliban. On May 31, 2014, the deserter was freed in exchange for five Taliban leaders.
After his return to the U.S., President Obama held a photo-op reception with Bergdahl’s parents at the White House. And National Security Adviser Susan Rice said Bergdahl served with “honor and distinction.”
If found guilty by a court martial, misbehavior before the enemy carries with it a possible life sentence. Five years is the maximum punishment for desertion.
Five Taliban leaders for a deserter? That’s some deal. That’s some President!

Obama Report Card:
Race Relations: F
Economy: C (Which includes the dwindling number of middle class citizens.)
Health and Welfare: F
International Diplomacy: F
Idiocy: A
I'd give him a B on the Economy, an F- on International Diplomacy and an A+ on Idiocy.
But he feels good about himself. That's what's important.
