Investigating General Recommends Against Jailtime for Bergdahl. What do you think?

It seems like in this day and time there are people who do not take responsibility for their actions, always someone else's fault. Their upbringing and values do not agree with their situation, etc. is BS.

I do not accept or understand that one is not held accountable for their actions. The military is a all volunteer force and like any employer one may not agree with certain things during their employment but you do not place others in danger for your actions. Do your time, then take your discharge. But to say he doesn't deserve any jail time because he wanted to communicate with a senior officer at FOB Sharana is pure bonk. Where is the accountability??

Its unrealistic that this guy is a General.

I've heard this bull. When I was in Germany a three stripes defected to East Germany. Because NCOs who have been in the service a lot longer would not listen to his good ideas. He did not like the job they gave him. And he came back with his tail between his legs. And he was upset that on his return they threw him into the brig.

He needs to face some punishment for this if for no other reason than because it was a foolish stunt. If there's no repercussions, some other young servicemember out there might be tempted to try the same thing whenever he or she wants some "attention".

There are ways to address problems with the chain of command. This is not one of them.

There are plenty of folks calling for his head. They won't be too pleased by this.

My feeling is 'who cares about this little shit'. I just wish he would disappear and stop being a news story.

A friend of mines husband was in his unit in AK when this happened. From what I know (heard & read) he deserves the book to be thrown at him. But, I see this ending in his favor due to politics. Do you really think they're going to release gitmi prisoners in exchange for his release then in turn lock him up? Doubtful.

Is general dahl a Democrat, this reeks of command influence

I know co-workers and friends that were in his unit in Alaska. They have told me that he deserted his unit, post, and more importantly his fellow Soldiers and put them in jeopardy/ harms way. I honestly believe he deserves whatever he gets!!!
