#1 The officer in question should bitch-slap himself.

#2 "They should be releasing Colonel Visger's report, they should be releasing General Dahl's report, they should be releasing Sergeant Bergdahl's 371-page transcript of his interrogation by General Dahl, I mean, all of this stuff should be released,"

Methinks the counselor is then counting on his client not having to submit to examination during court-martial proceedings.

I'm thinking the Army is going to roll over on this one and hope it all goes away.

#3 Visger also recommended Bergdahl not face a punitive discharge for his alleged actions, Fidell said. A memo from Bergdahl's defense team to Visger regarding the report -- released late Friday by Fidell to media members -- said the officer's recommendations didn't go far enough and requested nonjudicial punishment, better known as an Article 15, instead of a special court-martial.

Statements such as this absolutely confirm #2.

#6 Vile, despicable , craven, all words to describe careerist toadie officers who lost their sense of honor along the path. This infection of the last bastions of honest virtue, the military, is frightening proof of the depth of the rot that the left has wrought.

#7 Okay.
No jail time and a firing squad.
