FORT BRAGG, N.C -- A military lawyer representing accused deserter Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl called for the Army to award his client several medals, including the Purple Heart and the Prisoner of War medal, during a pre-trial hearing Tuesday.
Army Lt. Col. Franklin Rosenblatt said Bergdahl, accused of abandoning his eastern Afghanistan post in 2009 before he was captured by the Taliban, was entitled to the awards and the Army's failure to grant them could bias potential jurors in the trial.

He should be wearing PFC ranks and should not be allowed to wear any combat awards.
Because he did not serve honorable in a combat theater should hav been classified a deserter.
