Death Penalty A Possibility In Bergdahl Case
Desertion in Time of War in an active war zone
Canada Free Press
A United States citizen military person recently deserted his Army post of duty, potentially endangering all his fellow military members of an Army unit in Afghanistan. At this writing not all details of the incident have been revealed, but the perpetrator, Bowe Bergdahl, Sergeant, US Army has been identified positively.
There is now and will be much controversy with the potential death sentence. Without doubt another schism of ‘anti’ and ‘pro’ groups will be at each others’ throats and in their faces with their pleas for lenience for the perpetrator (in this case it should be spelled perpetraitor) as that is what he is to his fellow service members upon whom he laid the possibility of danger and as it has already proven to be a death sentence for others.The entire country along with perhaps the citizens of Afghanistan and most of the international community are learning more details of the incident as the days go by. I will try to stay within the known confines of the event. But we can be certain that the official charges to be imposed on Bergdahl will be Desertion in Time of War in an active war zone, for which the official punishment could be the death penalty.
These innocents, just in the days following Bergdahl’s desertion, six of his former comrades-in-arms lost their lives while searching for the missing Sergeant. Details have not been released on those deaths. But in the short time since this action began the entire mission of the organization has been dealt a serious blow to continuity and overall protection to the entire personnel contingent along with precious weapons and materials.
This is a not a situation of mixed-up formation or blown assignments causing some injuries, this is a flagrant violation of standing orders of maintaining a soldier’s post, which has already caused the command the loss of SIX PERSONS all active duty combat assignment people. It gives more credence to the validity of the death penalty for A PERSON who violates orders and directly causes death for SIX OTHERS.
