News reports from multiple sources are reporting that Bowe Bergdahl will be charged with Desertion in a Court Martial.

Guess he was not the "hero" that Obama claimed when his parents were at the White House.

Gee, it's almost like Obama was using Daddy Bergdahl as a photo op or something. Just another day at the circus. Or freak show, if you prefer.

The Army Times claims the Bergdahl reports are untrue and that no decision has been made.
Regardless of how good a PC game may be it will always have its detractors and no matter how bad a PC game may be it will always have its fans.

Thanks - but multiple news outlets are reporting that Bergdahl will be charged.  Like most things, the passage of time will tell its tale.

Like most other bad choices during this Administration, it is being glossed over and intentionally swept under the rug after the sour parts started coming to light. 

If he is being charged, then the news is being intentionally hushed under orders.  If he's not charged, then there is blatant interference to save political face.

Did anyone ever see the extra "transparency" the prez promised?  That should easily knock off Bush's "read my lips .. no new taxes" speech as the quintessential presidential lie.

yes, the idiots hair has turned grey.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

Oh, yes. Absolutely.

Any time a spokesman from the WH goes on TV you'll hear them use the word "clearly" a lot. Typically when they say "clearly" it's a tip off you're about to get a load of

Foxnews headline: SGT. BOWE BERGDAHL TO BE CHARGED WITH DESERTION

Quote
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.

And the passage of time eventually spoke the word.
