In the euphoria of the release of the last US Soldier held as POW by the Taliban a simple fact is lost sight off. In fact many veterans who served in Afghanistan have asked for the prosecution of the Sergeant. What are the facts. Its good to list them out
a) Sergeant Bergdhal deserted his post and thus was a deserter
b) He was opposed to the war in Afghanistan and there are many emails and conversations that point to the fact that he was a disgruntled soldier who deserted his post and joined the enemy.
c) Many US service personnel died in attempts to find him.
d) Sergeant Bergdhal was a yellow soldier , a coward and displayed cowardice when facing the enemy and put at risk the lives of his fellow soldiers.
What should one do with sucha man. I am afraid many veterans with who I have interacted have asked that he be tried for desertion. I hope an example is made of this man who let the US army down. This is not the time to treat such men with kid gloves.
