Bo Bergdahl 'Skates'

[ABikerSailor]

Anyone else notice that the ones who are calling for him to be executed are people who more than likely never served in the military themselves?

You know...............the courts martial board had all the information and they knew what happened and based their decision on the facts they had available.

If this is their decision, then it's the right one. I'm not in a position to question why they decided the way they did.

And yeah, desertion in time of war IS punishable by death, but trouble is, we haven't actually declared a war yet.

 

[Bush92]

The whole Berghdal story is bizarre.
Even though there were already suspicions the guy had deserted, Obama goes ahead and has a rose garden ceremony with his parents celebrating his rescue. If that wasn't disgusting enough, we now have this travesty of a sentence.

But the thing was, when Obama praised the guy, and arranged his rescue, the Army listed him as a POW, promoted him to Sergeant in captivity, and outright lied about how he was captured.

In short, they were putting the best spin on the story, just like they did when Tillman was killed by friendly fire or the rescue of Jessica Lynch turned out to be just picking her up at the Hospital.

Once he became another reason for the batshit crazy right to hate on Obama, though, a bunch of guys who got out of military service for bone spurs or cysts on the ass were quick to chime in.

Obama and Rice are pieces of shit for the Rose Garden reception for a coward.

I bet that you even less interesting in person.

Oh...in person with you...lol...you would never forget it. Make sure ya got a good dentist.

The guy is mentally ill, yes people want a pound of his flesh but will further punishing some mentally ill guy really satisfy people? He never should have been accepted into the armed forces in the first place and had been rejected by the Coast Guard.

you can' just let everyone who wants to, do whatever they want in the military
the military deals with killing and being killed--you have to have discipline
I was in 8 years... 4 years guard duty......

guard duty over there is SERIOUS--people's lives are at stake !!!

The military would have locked this guy up and thrown away the key if that was the right thing to do, have some faith in the military.

You are correct, that is why the military has the UCMJ, and in more serious cases, courts martial proceedings.

But who on this board is qualified to question the decision of the board? They had all the information and based their decision on what they had available.

I'm not gonna second guess them, I wasn't on the courts martial board.

This is about right and wrong. This judge is a shit bag.

I think it was clear he deserted his post
now it would be unfair and unjust to put anyone in jail that does the same
just like the insanity defense for murder--totally insane---pun intended

Guy takes a picture inside a nuclear sub and gets a year in prison. This asshole gets nothing. Fuck the UCMJ.

That is what I am relying on; and his proven mental health problems. 14 years in, is 14 years of required military expenditures to keep him safe, medicate him, feed his lousy hide, etc.
I guess since he is a private WITHOUT benefits, that can be avoided. Military today, please explain, why wasn't kicked out with DD?

Rope in form of noose would solve all of that.

You're right, he DID desert his post, and he pleaded guilty for it.

But desertion is a capital offense only in time of a declared war.

And..............like I said, I wasn't on the courts martial board, so I'm not gonna second guess their decision.

 

[Bush92]

Hang him. He does not rate a firing squad.

His men were in a hostile combat zone. Fuck the fine print. Hang his ass.

Guy takes a picture inside a nuclear sub and gets a year in prison. This asshole gets nothing. Fuck the UCMJ.

Nothing? Not only was he in custody of the Taliban for 5 years, but he was held by the military for the past 3. And now? He's gonna serve 10 months as a private, with a 1,000/mo. fine, which is pretty much all of his paycheck as a private.

As far as taking a picture inside a nuclear sub, did you know that in order to just walk onboard one of those, you have to have a Confidential or higher clearance? It's because of that, the person who took the picture was given a year.

 

[harmonica]

Anyone else notice that the ones who are calling for him to be executed are people who more than likely never served in the military themselves?

I served 8 years
people's lives were at stake when he deserted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
he was supposed to be guarding the base......there is a reason every base has guards!!!!!!!!!---usually 24 hours a day!!!
it doesn't matter if a war has been declared--what if some terrorists wanted to go in and kill? there'd be no alarm
what if some thieves wanted to steal some automatic weapons/grenades/etc??

I could give a shit less about his captivity. That was karma. He put his comrades lives in danger. Hang him.

I served 10 in two branches. Army...Marine Corps. I agree with you.

You make it sound like he was the only guard for the entire post. Hate to tell you, but when it comes to watches, there are redundancies built in, and there are more than just one guard.

As far as standing guard duty for a base? When I did it in Newport RI, there were 2 guards on each gate leading into the base, as well as several roving patrols.

He was NOT held by the military for the past three. He has been running around Fort Sam Houston for quite a while.
