Bergdahl and Military Swamp Holdovers
Bowe Bergdahl
Americans are outraged over the Bowe Bergdahl sentencing November 3 that should have led to serious prison time  or worse. But  face it  we now live in a country where deserters who cause fellow soldiers to be maimed or killed are treated as heroes if weak leftists are in charge.
He should be in prison. The only difference between  Bergdahl  and the guy who used a Home Depot truck to mow down and kill people in New York recently is that  Bergdahl  displayed his allegiance to the enemy on foreign soil.
 Bergdahl  walked because the military swamp remains filled with senior leaders who climbed the ranks curtseying to former President Obamaâs social experimentation and his upside-down value system whereby one treasonous deserter is worth five senior Taliban terrorists.
Obama exchanged five of Gitmoâs finest for Bergdahl  then hosted a sickening spectacle at the White House Rose Garden where a touchy-feely Obama spoke to  Bergdahl âs parents âcourage.â Meanwhile  Obamaâs favorite fact-twister  former National Security Advisor Susan Rice  made her rounds  propagandizing that  Bergdahl  served with âhonor and distinction.â
Now  âthis punkâ walks  thanks to  in part  the judge in charge  Col. Jeffrey R. Nance  who once said at a Fort Bragg hearing: âI will consider the presidentâs [Trumpâs] comments [regarding Bergdahl] as mitigation evidence as I arrive at an appropriate sentence.â Nance was referring to Trumpâs less-than- complementary comments about  Bergdahl .
Obviously  Col. Nance did just that  essentially presenting  Bergdahl  a snowflake award  punishing him with the equivalent of a hand slap  despite six soldiers killed and others permanently maimed.
I also believe Obamaâs and Riceâs comments about  Bergdahl  helped to tip the scales of justice in the wrong direction  not Trumpâs.
At times and when politics arenât in play  military justice can be swift  painful and fair. Not this time  and especially not for the brave warriors maimed and killed while searching for  Bergdahl .
Col. Nance rewarded a traitor and Obama freed dangerous enemies most likely to face us once more in some future battle  plain and simple. Itâs fair to say the Taliban interprets Obamaâs prisoner exchange and Nanceâs decision to let  Bergdahl  walk as weakness to be exploited.
