Army Wraps Up Bergdahl Investigation

The Army has finished its investigation into how and why Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl disappeared from his base in Afghanistan and plans to brief Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel this afternoon, officials said Friday. Details about the probe’s conclusion have been closely held. The report could include recommendations on whether Bergdahl should be charged with any criminal violations or forced to leave the Army. Potential charges could be desertion or leaving his post and being “absent without leave,” or AWOL. The final disposition will also determine whether Bergdahl gets as much as $300,000 in back pay and other benefits/ AP via Eye on Boise . More here .
