I have read that Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl left his post of duty (in combat) not once, but twice.

To leave a duty post, you had to report to the duty officer who could only permit you to leave your post if qualified duty relief was available and for permitted time. Bergdahl followed no such procedure.

Bergdahl should be court-martialed, given a dishonorable discharge with no benefits and sentenced to 30 years hard labor with no time shortened. He should be declared a “deserter/traitor” and jailed immediately.

Not doing so dishonors all who have honorably served in our military since our country’s beginning. God bless our country.
