#1 So the Obumble administration has finally come up with an excuse for this guys behavior and some kind of rationalization of why they swapped for him.

So they swapped for him because he wasn't getting the correct meds and counseling?

#2 If he hid it, then he knew it was wrong.

I'm not buying it.

#3 Now they'll be able to toss him from the Army and give him pension.

#5 Hillary Clinton ~~Bowe Bergdahl~~ Diagnosed with Personality Disorder and memory loss stemming from fall and mini-stroke. Her recent bout of barking like a Kelty provided further confirmation of the medical finding.

If the diagnosis fits, you must acquit.

#6 Bergdahl deserted in 2009.

In 2015 the medical board makes a diagnosis of what his condition was in 2009 that happens to be exactly what the US Govt wants it to be.

Pretty good textbook example of why most doctors are suspicious of retrospective diagnosis.

#7 So a Sanity Board interviews a 2015 Bergdahl, after five years of what might have been highly psychologically-damaging captivity, and is able to see through that damage to determine the mental state of a soldier for whom there is no relevant baseline mental-health data, and determines that his mental state at the time of his desertion was impaired by a pre-existing disorder, thus rendering him incapable of rational thought regarding the consequences of his actions? Really? Is there anyone who accepts this as anything more than another convenient government lie to produce a desired political outcome? Is anyone on the "Army Sanity Board" expecting a promotion or favorable reassignment?
Did anybody notice the 3rd star that MG Dahl got after his interview with this POS? Honor and Integrity slip sliding away from the Army as it increasingly displays the Sukhomlinov Syndrome...

#8 I don't think insanity should let you off of treason.

#9 I know 0bean is just trying to empty out Gitmo, therefore this result.

Still, we can argue that he should be acting rationally regardless, and should have looked into Berdahl's mental state before negotiating.
