Hopefully Bow Bergdahl will be convicted at the end of this very very long day SSgt GG-15 RET Jim Lint. For those involved in the search for him this musty be torture especially for those whose career was terminated based on wounds incurred.

Something that has disturbed me for awhile. I recall back in the late sixties or early seventies a group of elite and well known lawyers (F. Lee Bailey, Melvin Belli, and others) traveled to Germany to test and evaluate the military criminal justice system. They not only reviewed case records and conducted interviews, but actually participated in courts-martial as defense counsels. Many thought they would find the military justice system unfair, antiquated and biased against defendants. In fact, they reported that in a number of ways the military justice system was superior to the civilian system. One of the findings they singled out was the commiment to "the right to a speedy trial." The Judges, juries, defendents and counsels were generally ready to go to trial within a month. Of course complex cases could take longer, but even they would be handled much quicker than in a civilian court. Back then fulfilling "right to a speed trial," was considered one of the prides of military justice; clearly its not that way anymore.
