Bowe Bergdahl is a dipshit who's in deep shit, in my opinion.
He will be tried by general court martial for desertion and misbehavior before the enemy, more serious charges than the preliminary hearing officer recommended. He won't face execution as Donald Trump would like, but he will face life in prison if found guilty.
Unbelievably, he appeared on the 'Serial' podcast while his case was being investigated. Gotta think his attorney advised against it (one would hope).
Anyway, in the podcast, he moved away from his earlier claim that he left his base to go to another and tell a high official about the corruption within his unit and that's when he was caught by the Taliban and ultimately held prisoner for five years.
During the podcast, he instead told the interviewer that he left base for that reason, and that he immediately stopped and considered turning around. But, he decided to continue on because, Bergdahl admitted, he fathomed that he could escape reprisals by pulling off a solo reconnaissance mission.
“Doing what I did is me saying that I am like, I dunno, Jason Bourne,” Bergdahl said. “I was trying to prove to the world, to anybody who used to know me, that I was capable of being that person.”
As he set out, Bergdahl says, he thought he would spark some kind of crisis. The CIA, the whole US military, would snap to attention, and he could tell everyone about serious leadership problems in his unit, he claimed.
That obviously didn't happen and Bergdahl is no Bourne. A date for his trial has not yet been set.
