Bergdahl requests pardon from President Obama, US officials

I don't know Bergdahl. What I do know of him comes solely from the Internet and what is offered in the print and electronic media, also from comments made about him by his former comrades. From this I come to the conclusion that he is an oxygen bandit. For reasons only fathomable to one that has spent time in "Bergdahl Land" he committed actions that have lead his being charged with gross derelictions of duty. You screwed the pooch Soldier, so suck it up and take responsibility for your actions. If you can, stand up before your Court Martial and defend yourself, explain your actions, if you're packing a pair. If not... stand up and admit to being a dumbass. Either way accept responsibility for your actions.

If he is pardoned, he should think of moving way, way far away.
