President Trump tweeted Friday that Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl’s sentence– a dishonorable discharge, but no prison time for leaving his post in June 2009 — was a “complete and total disgrace.”
More than eight years after Bergdahl walked off his base in Afghanistan — and unwittingly into the clutches of the Taliban — Bergdahl walked out of a North Carolina courtroom a free man Friday. Bergdahl, who pleaded guilty to endangering his comrades, was fined, reduced in rank to E1 and dishonorably discharged — but he received no prison time.
Trump, aboard Air Force One en route to meetings in Asia, tweeted his disapproval of the sentence.
The decision on Sergeant Bergdahl is a complete and total disgrace to our Country and to our Military.

Hopefully this traitor will move out of our country and never come back. He needs to be with the enemy of his choice since it was by his traitorous act that got two of our military men killed trying to find this traitor. And—the so-called judge who slapped Berghdahl’s wrist should be kicked off the bench and defrocked for his disgraceful decision.
He really deserved the death penalty, for desertion. Two of his team were killed and another left with no life, to speak of. Yes the judge needs to lose his or her job, they are supposed to be tough not wimps.

Two of Bergdahl’s fellow soldiers were killed as a direct result of his desertion. Those two soldiers, along with several others, were out searching for Bergdahl when they were ambushed. As if that were not bad enough, Bergdahl then spent the next 5 years aiding and abetting the enemy. The death of those two soldiers alone should have earned him a proper hanging. Instead, he gets off with being busted to E-1 and given a dishonorable discharge??? BIG F*****G DEAL! His fellow soldiers got the death penalty and did NOTHING wrong EXCEPT to go searching for that lowlife POS slug. Maybe we’ll get lucky and find that slimeball hanging from a tree in his own back yard.
The judge is a total disgrace to our nation and to our military men,
who carry out their duties to this country.
The judge needs to be kicked off the bench.
