Bergdahl, coward, deserter & bottom feeding lowlife

[Team Sergeant]

I was not aware that the Army Sanity Board personnel could time travel and read minds........

Bowe Bergdahl, coward, deserter & bottom feeding lowlife had "psychiatric disorder".

Thank you members of Delta Force for negotiating with and paying for Bergdahl's release.

And yeah, I now think the US military would do just about anything they are ordered to do.







Bergdahl had psychiatric disorder when he left post, documents say

Investigators concluded Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl had a psychiatric disorder when he walked away from his Afghanistan post in 2009, according to documents made public late Wednesday.

A document from July 2015 shows that an Army Sanity Board Evaluation determined that Bergdahl suffered from schizotypal personality disorder when he left the post. A Mayo Clinic website says people with the disorder have trouble interpreting social cues and can develop significant distrust of others.

Attorneys for Bergdahl, who faces charges of desertion and misbehavior before the enemy, acknowledged releasing the documents in the hope of counteracting negative publicity over the case.

"The more Americans know about this case, the better," attorney Eugene Fidell said in an email to the Associated Press. There was no immediate comment from the Army about the newly released documents.

Bergdahl appeared relaxed in photos he gave to a platoon mate five days before walking off the post. The pictures show him posing with a goat and enjoying camaraderie with his platoon mates, as well as an out-of-focus selfie.

Well... he apparently "trusted" the freaking Taliban!

If this asswipe walks, I will have lost all faith in the UCMJ.

Release a traitor, but kick out a protector of kids! Bullshit!!

The fix is in. No surprise here. We can't have the King's decisions questioned now can we?

If he had this disorder, then he had it when he came in. That's a fraudulent enlistment if I ever saw it!

YUP!!!

Also - it doesn't mean that he didn't know right from wrong, just that his bubble was a bit off plumb. He'll go down. if anything, this will be mitigation evidence at sentencing.

You can bet they tried the insanity defense and it doesn't look like it amounted to anything if they released this.

If the article I read is correct, he did not disclose his discharge from the Coast Guard during boot camp to the Army which should qualify as a fraudulent enlistment. I can't seem to find an article that states whether he requested and received any necessary waiver. If no waiver was granted, he probably failed to disclose.

But then, the Army should have known about the prior discharge, right?


EDIT:

This article indicates that the Army knew: LINK

A senior Army official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, confirmed that the Army was aware of a prior “administrative discharge” when Bergdahl enlisted. A separate Army official, also speaking on the condition of anonymity, said that Bergdahl would have required a waiver to enlist under such circumstances. The official could not immediately confirm that Bergdahl received one.

Lots of details in the article. Seemingly, he thought he could go John Galt in Afghanistan....

I took a quick glance at the UCMJ. He would have to prove to a jury that he was unable to appreciate the wrongfulness of his action (I think this is Article 850a). This might be pretty hard to prove. It seems that he has had some rather lucid interviews since he returned home---not sure how he could say he didn't appreciate the wrongfulness of running off to the enemy.
