US Army commander approves Bowe Bergdahl sentence, no prison time

Only upside to all this, is that his name is well known to the civilian population which might hinder his ability to find gainful employment. But then he could find a left leaning lawyer to file a discrimination suit...I take it back, no upside to any of this.

I'm trying but failing to find a respectable way to ask the questions I want to ask without adding expletives (what I call sentence enhancers). Let's see if I have everything correct.

1) He deserts his post.
2) People go looking for him not knowing he deserted.
3) Some of the above mentioned people die.
4) He's captured by enemy forces because of his own stupidity.
5) Manages to stay alive for 5 years, and is rescued.
6) It finally becomes known he deserted.
7) A Courts Martial is convened.
8) He is found guilty.
9) He is not sentenced to jail time because of the political environment.
10) And he might also get back pay for his time in captivity?

like pouring salt on the wounds of all the families whose loved ones went out there searching for this guy, and gave their lives in the process
