Bowe Bergdahl- POW or Deserter?

[knapplc]

Presidents are getting way too much power. We're the Roman Republic circa 100BC right now. People have no idea the path we're headed down, and it's scary.

I agree with the bolded. serious question? How do you stop it?

Congress needs to act. Kind of like Iraq . . . when there is a power vacuum someone will step in. The do nothing Congress has left a power vacuum . . . and when there are things that urgently need to be addressed the president will step in if Congress will not or can not grow up and do its job.

Just as Caesar stepped up, and Sulla before him. But then they murdered Caesar and entered a period (another period) of civil war, from which emerged one strong leader, Augustus, and the Empire was born.

Americans are ripe for such a leader. They are willingly led by the nose by anyone with a loud enough bullhorn.

Interesting fact. Caesar Augustus died 2000 years ago this week. I think it was Wednesday that was the anniversary of his death.

Ok....sorry for the side comment. Continue on.

According to CBS the US Army has just completed it's investigation of Bergdahl and a final decision will bedetermined by General Mark Milley.

 

[darkhorse85]

Unconfirmed sources saying he will be charged with desertion.

 

[walksalone]

I wonder if they court martial him, or offer him a dishonorable and let it quietly go away?

He should be shot on the whitehouse lawn.

I would hope he at least gets 20 years for desertion

 

[darkhorse85]

Looks like he will be court martialed.

Soldiers died looking for the deserter

Obama should apologize to each of these families.

Lest we forget that being charged and being convicted are two different things.

stop with that innocent until proven guilty stuff. This is America!

 

[walksalone]

Good, let him face court martial, and if he's convicted, give him life and let him sit there and think about the 5 guys that gave their lives looking for his dumb a$$...
