It was announced today that the investigation for Sgt. Bergdahl has been concluded. What do you think is going to come out of the review process?

1LT (Join to see), I tend to agree with SSG (Join to see) on this. What I think will come out of the review process is a politically correct response, somewhere between saving face for President Obama and what should (in my opinion) happen. He should probably be punished in some way for walking away from his post. The President kind of "gushed" about Bergdahl in his Rose Garden speech. Somewhere between those two opposite ends of the spectrum is where it will likely fall out.

Absolutely agree CW5 (Join to see) I think he deserves to get the book thrown at his face BUT then we have this whole "political correctness" that tends to get in the way of what he deserves to get. And I think most people realized that once the President put out that big announcement in his speech and basically threw Bergdahl a welcome home party that we wouldn't see much come from this situation.

That's it, ma'am. We (military folks) understand it. I wonder if John and Jane Q. Public "get" what's going on. Maybe, if they read the news. News outlets are talking about what a political hot potato this issue is.

The news will say whatever they need to in order to get viewers. And they love to blow stories out of proportion to get their viewers no matter what the outcome i.e Ferguson and the whole police shooting.

As I have stated all along he will be medically discharged so the administration can spare itself any humiliation. Then it will fade in to obscurity no questions being asked. No court-martial no bad conduct just 100% disability.

I think everyone here wouldn't be surprised to see this current administration make this quietly go away.

They would probably charge him if they could find a way to blame it on the republicans. Because we know how this administration likes to take responsibility when things go wrong.

I'm betting this will all be revealed after the election. I also wouldn't be surprised if he gets off scott free.

I think the results will be increased safety standards across the board, and it's about time too. All active duty personnel will have to complete PME about the importance of not going for long walks in Afghanistan alone without your weapon. It's a mistake any one can make, but a dangerous one.

It's truly pathetic how someone like this can just walk away without any real repercussions after surely giving the enemy intelligence on the other troops he served with. Worst kind of scumbag traitor having willingly given information to the enemy that ended up in multiple fatalities that probably would never have occurred otherwise.

To be honest I feel bad for the members of this town. To go for years thinking this guy was a hero and to have the fact come out must really suck for them. Bergdahl I still have no sympathy for and I hope he gets what he deserves but for the town this must suck. It's always going to be a black eye for them.
