Do you really think that DD will keep him out of a job for long? Remember that there are Liberal Dips out there that are waiting in the wings just to hire him. To them he IS a hero. Just wait and watch.

Bergdahl is scum but I’m actually okay with this result. No matter what happens from here on out, gets absolute Zero in the way of health-care, pension, or other VA benefits. He can’t (legally) possess a firearm anywhere in the United States. He is a lifelong pariah to a majority (not everyone, it’s true) of the US population. Those are not easy burdens to carry for the rest of your life, starting at age 31.

You got a loose cannon. You wanted one. I love it. Go Trump, go.

Yep.
Which he deserved.
The real mistake is whom we gave up to get him back.
Five guys carrying chips, who've since disappeared and are probably rotting in shallow graves outside Kandahar. Setting them up to be killed by their own was pretty cold.
RE: Bergdahl dishonorably discharged, No Prison Time
I'm far more offended that this POS gets to walk our street than morons kneeling to protest colours. This mothafucka should've gotten the firing squad.

Tend to agree with this.
Only pause and say, hunh, when reminded of the dozens pulled off missions, scores injured, many disabled, even paralyzed, looking for this cowardly dumb***.
Five years is a long time to sit in al quesadilla (autocorrect, again. I’m gonna let it stand) but he chose that himself by walking off.
That he’s stripped of being a “served with honor and distinction” that the lying liar that lies, yet again, claimed, five years with his Muslim buddies, and no further Beni’s...
It’s a start. Locking his stupid ass up for another 10-15? Not sure what further that accomplishes. He is taliban daddy and burqa mommies problem now.
Now, GFY.

If anybody could prove that really is what happened, I’d be much more pleased with this. Until then, not so much.
But as for the deserter, he’s been branded with the closest thing we have to the mark of Cain. His fellow anti-Americans can deal with him from here on out. I’m okay with that.
RE: Bergdahl dishonorably discharged, No Prison Time
I thought he would get life in prison...but...I expect this result is basically the same thing. He will alway be considered a traitor and his life from this point on is going to be tough.

They've disappeared, five-for-five. Not one has turned up dead in a drone strike, heart attack in a brothel, rallying jihadis on Facebook, nothing. The Taliban aren't stupid (they've resisted the lone superpower for 15 years, and broke the other superpower before that); they had to assume these guys were traceable. No one will ever prove it: their side won't admit they killed their own and ours won't admit we outsourced our killing.

I acknowledge the logic of that scenario. But believing that it’s true =/= knowing that it’s true.
And I personally would have no qualms whatsoever about “admitting” that we outsourced the killings. Hell, I’d be proclaiming it if I knew it was true.

Bergdahl was discharged from the Coast Guard because he was mentally unfit.
