| #15 They have to do the 15-6 first. Then a court marshal board will convene. We have had over a dozen walk off, all discharged, general, other than honorable I believe. He will lead a long life as "That guy" the deserter we traded terrorists for. A life of shame. |

| #14 I still think Bergdahl should be courtmartialed. Yes, Obama can/will pardon him if he is convicted. However, it should be determined whether or not he was a deserter or worse. |

| #8 For what it's worth, the Disciplinary Barracks (DB) at Fort Leavenworth has a well staffed infirmary. |

| #7 Its not politics, the Army is doing the right thing here. I agree. But why the NYT exclusive? Were the rest of the media uninterested? |

| #5 He is dealing with Stockholm and the Army does not want him released until his head is straight. Imagine him getting off a plain and proclaiming the US as terrorists and his love for Jihad. Its not politics, the Army is doing the right thing here. |

| #2 “Physically, he could be put on a plane to the U.S. tomorrow, but there are still a couple of mental criteria to address: the family unification piece and the media exposure piece,” said one American official who has been briefed on the sergeant’s condition. Timing is indeed everything. |

| #1 While medical officials are pressing him for details about his time in captivity to help begin repairing his medical and psychological wounds, these specialists have not yet focused on the critical questions about why he left his outpost and how he was captured by insurgents, the officials said — and there is no predetermined schedule for doing so. They'll have more flexibility after the election. |
