On February 17, 2005 two border agents shot an illegal alien drug dealer on the border at El Paso Tx.and were sentenced to prison. Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean received 11 and 12 year sentences respectively. Why? The drug dealer (who would later be convicted of importing tons of marijuana to the U.S.) had resisted arrest and was shot in the back. The agents were doing their jobs and ended up in prison as a result.

In 2011 Sgt. 1st Class Charles Martlan was nearly given a Dishonorable Discharge for stopping an Afghan police commander from raping a young boy inside a U.S. base. Political pressure was brought to bear and the military relented. The soldier was a decorated Green Baret, a true American hero.

So why was a deserter who voluntarily joined the Taliban given little more than a DD? Bergdahl voluntrily put himself in harm's way and one must wonder if he really was captive or if he had voluntarily joined the enemy. Still, it was crystal clear he was a traitor and deserter who should have been punished. A military court simply kicked him out of the army and let him be on his way.

If border guards go to jail for protecting America's border and if decorated special forces officers are to be kicked out for protecting innocent young children why wouldn't Bergdahl get prison time" The Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) allows for a punishment of death in the case of desertion during wartime - a state that was clearly present. And we traded a peck of the worst, more vicious terrorists for Bergdahl. SWtrange.

Question; was bergdahl working for the DIA or some other military spy operation? Is that why the Obama Administration was so eager to have him back - and why he was treated so kindly by the military court? Or was it that the Obama Administration wanted to claim they left no one behind and were willing to give away U.S. security to do that - and the military court had to justify the price paid for Bergdahl?

We will likely never know, but I suspect the latter. Too many institutions were horribly corrupted by eight years of Obama and the "deep state" has been covering for the BHO ever since.

Any thoughts?

BTW, Bergdahl sounds like a screwball; a ballet dancer and Buddhist who was kicked out of the Coast Guard for "unspecified" reasons and who seemed to spend much of his time hanging with the natives.  There is more to his story than meets the eye, methinks.
