Bob Fredericks at the New
York Post offers a piece on U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl.
Disgraced Army Sgt. Bowe
Bergdahl, who abandoned his post in Afghanistan and was held prisoner by the
Taliban for five years, is expected to plead guilty to desertion and
misbehavior before the enemy.
Bergdahl’s decision to admit
his guilt rather than face trial marks another twist in a bizarre eight-year
drama that caused the nation to wrestle with difficult questions of loyalty,
negotiating with hostage takers and America’s commitment not to leave its
troops behind.
President Trump has called
Bergdahl a “no-good traitor” who “should have been executed.”
It’s unclear whether the
Idaho native, 31, will be locked up or receive a lesser sentence that reflects
the time the Taliban held him under brutal conditions.
