Let us not lose sight of this very important matter. While we are seeing copies of the Constitution waved in our face and a discussion is ensuing about Gold Star families lets not forget that there are other Gold Star families who are so because of this individual who decided that he needed to follow a different "drummer" on the battlefield. Lives were lost and Gold Star families created because of the actions of Bergdahl... and yet the Army leadership continues to play the fiddle... a tune called by the party in power to insure that nothing distracts from the message. The former Chairman of the JCS lectured all the retired Flag Officers this week about medaling in politics... doesn't the same standard apply to those still in uniform? The Army leadership needs to grow a pair... get their "Sierra" tightened up and move on with this mans Courts Marshall. That would also honor the Gold Star families that we are all so fervent about this week.

LTC King, this is just my guess. I'm guessing there is so much politics tied up in this case that we probably won't see it come to the courts for another couple of yrs. It's really sad though if you think about it, here we have one of the most despicable human beings to ever put a uniform on and so much evidence against him and the courts are tying it up. And that the Army leadership is letting it happen is even sadder.

The courts are tying it up? What courts? This case is not in front of a civilian judge. If anyone should be criticized for dragging this case out, it should be the JAG and his Chain of Command. I'm sure they could start this trial tomorrow, if the convening authority really wanted to.
