Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, the U.S. soldier who was recovered in Afghanistan last spring after five years in captivity, faces charges of desertion and misbehavior before the enemy, according to his lawyer. Eugene Fidell, Bergdahl’s attorney, told The Washington Post that his client was handed a charge sheet on Tuesday. Army officials announced they will provide an update in his case at 3:30 p.m. at Fort Bragg, N.C., but declined to discuss new developments ahead of the news conference.

Is this the guy whose parents appeared with the president for some sort of announcement months ago? OH No!
I was going to post a photo of the Bergdahl parents with Obummer and found this nice one from BareNakedIslam.com. I wonder if the Bergdahl parents will stay in hiding or come charging out on a media offensive. This is a blow to Obama on that foolish trade of Bergdahl for the 5 Taliban leaders, who are almost off detention in Qatar and ready to go home to shoot at Americans again. No way this White House didn't try to stop this courtmartial. BNI has some other playful pix.
But not the blow to his ego that Bibi hit him with. In this case The Imam in Chief was fully prepared to take the hit for facilitating this obvious treason. There was NO way of stopping this CM from going down. Besides, it was a GREAT trade for his "side" after all. FIVE terr'ists for one traitor?? We all know Bergdahl will merely be pardoned in 2016, most likely after having served a few months -- if that.
Will have to look that up. Don't think military inmates can be pardoned. Might be wrong. Just have not seen it.

The President shall be commander in chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the militia of the several states, when called into the actual service of the United States; he may require the opinion, in writing, of the principal officer in each of the executive departments, upon any subject relating to the duties of their respective offices, and he shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment.
