I would be interested to see how his fellow soldier's testimony holds up during a cross examination at a court marshall hearing. They are running to the media telling their story 5 years after the fact. I wonder how their testimony will hold up in a courtroom under the scrutiny of a military defense attorney. Especially after the Obama Administration(Including Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel) tainted any chance of a fair hearing, by coming out publicly and calling him a hero. Don't think Obama didn't have his ducks in a row before making this move.
We will see how many high and mid level resignations this move will create, and how many Obama loyalists will replace them. It appears Obama may be restructuring the military and installing his military junta.
"...credit for time served while he was a prisoner." That is another ultimate spit in the face of Military everywhere. Along with him getting 2 promotions while a deserter...WTF IS GOING ON?
politics.....
soldiers are pawns.....intentions are good but never let any thing own your intentions....
it's a shame but it's history repeated.....
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS
Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said he does not want to prejudge the outcome of any investigation or say anything that might influence a commander's decision. There are a variety of offenses related to an absence without proper approval, and a number of potential actions could be taken by the military. He could be tried by court martial under the Uniform Code of Military Justice for desertion; he could be given a non-judicial punishment for a lesser charge, such as being away without leave. And he could be given credit for time already served while he was a prisoner. Dempsey stressed that any decision would be up to the Army.
I doubt he serves any time based on the five years he was in captivity. I'm guessing he either isn't charged because of some mental defect, or he is charged and gets a dishonorable, general, or medical discharge...which he doesn't give a sh*t about based on his emails

Notice how Boxy jumps right back to Bush. "Oh well Bush let go of 500 of them."
Hey Boxy...Just an FYI....Bush didn't give Mullah Omar his top cabinet members back in return for a traitor that should be put on a wall and shot.
Obama did.
Hey, since he's at it. How about he release five top level Mexican cartel members for the release of Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi being held in a Mexican prison for accidentally crossing the border with three legal rifles.
Oh and Andrew Tahmooressi didn't desert his post and turn on his country. He served with honor.

This whole story makes no sense at all, I feel there is allot of information that we don't and won't know about that led to this decision. As the facts show themselves at the moment it's one of the worst political calculations of all time.

"Put up against a wall and shot"??? Doesn't he get a trial first? Does he get "Put Up Against A Wall And Shot" because it fits the Druggy Rush "we hope Obama Fails" agenda?

Feb 18, 2008 8:24pm Speaking in Milwaukee, Wisconsin today, would-be First Lady Michelle Obama said, "for the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback." Then in Madison, she said, "For the first time in my adult lifetime, I’m really proud of my country, and not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change."
You have to look at the whole picture and not just one line without the rest of the speech and the rest of her speeches, interviews and actions & words of her lifetime. Like her "all this for a damn flag" comment at a Flag Day ceremony or the FACT that she spent over 20 years attending a church whose pastor preached "God damn America."
