Bergahl may get slap on wrist; do you agree with Trump?

So rumor on the street is an officer recommended that Bergdahl should get tried at lower level court discharged and reduced in rank with no jail time.
Trump called him a "no-good traitor" who should have been executed.
Thoughts? What side are you on?

According to Army Times, Lt. Col. Mark Visger's report will recommend no jail time for Bergdahl and no punitive discharge. It also recommends a special court-martial which only allows for a maximum punishment of one year imprisonment and a bad conduct discharge. Do these officers that are speaking out know something we don't, or are there other motivations behind their suggestions?
Personally, I believe there is probably more to the story; however, we need to look at the long term issues that are going to come of this. If the Army doesn't give Bergdahl a punitive discharge, he will still be eligible for benefits. I also believe that it is highly likely that he could receive a medical discharge for psychiatric reasons and end up with a 70+% disability rating that will be paid for the rest of his life. That's not something I want to see come to fruition.
