“Complete and Total Disgrace”: POTUS Trump Blasts Ruling Allowing Deserter Bergdahl To Walk Free

In a stunning ruling by military judge Col. Jeffery Nance, Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl will be dishonorably discharged, yet receive no prison sentence for endangering his fellow soliders after abandoning his post in Afghanistan.

President Trump took to Twitter shortly after the ruling to blast the decision, calling it a “complete and total disgrace.”

“The decision on Sergeant Bergdahl is a complete and total disgrace to our Country and to our Military,” President Trump tweeted.

Fox News reports:

More than eight years after Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl walked off his base in Afghanistan — and unwittingly into the clutches of the Taliban — Bergdahl walked out of a North Carolina courtroom a free man on Friday.

Bergdahl, who pleaded guilty to endangering his comrades, was fined, reduced in rank and dishonorably discharged — but he received no prison time.

[…]Bergdahl faced up to life in prison for desertion and misbehavior before the enemy. Wearing a blue dress uniform, Bergdahl appeared tense during the short morning session. He clenched his jaw as if grinding his teeth, then grimaced and looked at the floor when he walked out of the courtroom.

In closing arguments, defense attorneys argued that Bergdahl already had suffered enough confinement during five years of brutal captivity by Taliban allies. :'(

They asked the judge for a dishonorable discharge and no prison time. Their argument for leniency also cited harsh campaign-trail criticism by Donald Trump and Bergdahl’s mental disorders. ffs ::)

The head scratching decision comes amid reports that Bergdahl believes his Taliban captors treated him better than the U.S. military.

“At least the Taliban were honest enough to say, ‘I’m the guy who’s gonna cut your throat,’ ”Bergdahl told British TV journalist Sean Langan in an interview reported in the The Sunday Times of London.

“Here, it could be the guy I pass in the corridor who’s going to sign the paper that sends me away for life,’’ added Bergdahl

“We may as well go back to kangaroo courts and lynch mobs.”

Following the ruling, the NRA’s Cameron Gray tweeted the names and photos of the six brave soliders who died looking for Bergdahl after he deserted his post.

I'm sure that there's some ex servicemen looking for something to do during one dark and quiet night...

“Complete and Total Disgrace”

Again, Trump's tweets demonstrate he has no understanding of the US Constitution and the POTUS's role in the government.

it just shows what an unpatriotic **** you are...

ISIS supporting maggots... >:(

Did you know that a military judge sentenced Bergdahl and that a sitting POTUS has no Constitutional say in the matter?

You could have just said 'Did you know...' and the answer would be the same. Mechanic, like POTUS whom he has a hard-on for, knows almost nothing about almost everything.

Like everyone else he is entitled to his opinion, he knows this is something he personally has no control over.

Have you actually read the Constitution and maybe even the Federalist Papers?

Mechanic and some others here seem to share Trump's belief that he is CEO of America and not (just) the POTUS ... Bergdahl's fate was and is in the hands of the US Military Justice System, not at the whim of the man you may have watched on the Apprentice ...

Why does it bother you he has an opinion, one shared by many Americans. The deserter should have been shot or spent the rest of his life in Federal Prison. Better yet the exchange should never have been made. What a trade Obama made, one deserter for five high level terrorists.

No, they died trying to find him! If he had never went AWOL no one would have been in harms way.

When you post your 2 cents worth - you're expected to know something about the subject.

With you I feel short changed!
