Tens Of Thousands Of Troops Deserting, Army Barely Prosecutes
Jonah Bennett / Freedom Outpost
Tens of thousands of soldiers have deserted the Army after long, drawn out deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan in dangerous conditions, but the military has prosecuted just under 2,000 cases, Military.com reports.
Over 20,000 soldiers have dropped out from the ranks since 2006, but only 1,900 cases have been prosecuted. In most cases, desertion is usually easy to prove. Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl has been the main poster child for Army desertion after he abandoned his unit in 2009, only to be captured by the Taliban in Afghanistan and held for five years. A preliminary investigation in 2009 determined that he had simply walked away.
Before desertion was suspected as a motive, some troops were killed in the search for Bergdahl, who arrived back in the United States after the Obama administration traded five Taliban commanders imprisoned in Guantanamo Bay for the return of Bergdahl.
“The waiting game is far from over for Sergeant Bergdahl, who had to wait to be freed by the Taliban and who now must wait longer to find out if he could face imprisonment by the military if his case goes to court martial and he is convicted. And those are big ifs,” Greg T. Rinckey, a former active duty Army Judge Advocate General’s Corps (JAG) attorney told The Daily Caller News Foundation in a statement. “The final decision on his pay and benefits will be determined by how Sergeant Bergdahl is ultimately separated from the service.”

EXCELLENT NEWS!
come home, soldiers, and get to work arresting the traitors!
Bring your taxpayer gear too!!!!
Yeah, except most of them could never come back to America after deserting. Unless they become immigrants through our open borders, that is. Leaving the Military because it’s a corrupt monster that thinks nothing of your lives is a good thing. But not taking all your comrades and doing something about it isn’t helping the situation, hope they somehow help fight against this BS when the SHTF.
Bergdahl should be separated from the service with a bullet in the back of his Islamist cowardly head !
it wasn’t islam behind the twin towers, uss liberty, usury banking, holodomor genocide, bolshevism among other false flags . they take responsibility when they do their dirt.
it is the fault of israel for all these wars and subsequently for the deaths of millions.
anyone “deserting” is deserting israel and coming home.
They are leaving because of the leftist leadership of obama. 85% of the military hate him.
Make that 86%
