    Saw that myself. Tells you a lot about the political atmosphere at the moment that this individual will be likely sent to jail for his actions, which, whilst he did the wrong thing in terms of desertion, he at least served with honor in the Legion. Meanwhile Bergdahl, whose desertion directly lead to the deaths of soldiers sent to look for him and probably indirectly contributed to further casualties from intel he gave up, will most likely escape punishment altogether.

    We'll see. Bergsdahl hasn't been shown guilty of desertion yet.

    Makes me wonder why he saw the Legion, with it's reputation for brutality, as a better option than the US military.
