Well, the administration is certainly trying to, and trying to get the Army to, but...I just don't see the Army letting desertion slide. I'm sure they've backed off from even more serious charges because of the pressure from the administration, though.

This whole story is bizarre. Not Chelsea Manning bizarre, but close.

Damnit V-Tach.
I think he should be in a military prison serving time for each life lost because of him.

"Should" is an interesting critter...especially considering how much PR the administration put into hailing the return of this "hero"...and the fact that they traded 5 prisoners known to be active members of al-Qaeda for him. The truth getting out to the general (relatively ignorant) public would be major egg on the face of this administration.

Glad to be back.
Want to see a bunch of E4's actually volunteer for something, wait till they put up a call for volunteers for his firing squad.
From what I read he is probably gonna get credit for the time captured as they said he didn't plan to be a permanent deserter but was a pow instead. From my reading he will most likely be dishonorably discharged, lose all the pay from the time he was a pow and that will be the last of it.
It's total BS in my eyes as he deserted in a period of war and put himself in harms was to become a POW and who knows what the gitmo trades will cause as far as American lives lost in the future.

One thing the Big Green Machine will not tolerate is insubordination and desertion.
Desertion in peace time gets the deserter "dropped from the rolls" after 30 days, then he gets listed with law enforcement as a "deserter." If ever apprehended, the deserter gets discharged with an OTH discharge certificate.
In wartime, however, a deserter in the face of the enemy must reckon with the death penalty.
As an affirmative defense to the accused, he did not serve in a declared state of war.
Congress shit the bed, because they allowed two presidents to wage war without a formal declaration of war.
More likely than not, the General Court Martial Convening Authority will offer the accused a discharge under less than honorable conditions.
The prosecutors will reach a plea deal, where the accused forfeits all his back pay and veteran's benefits.
That is probably the best we can hope for.
He is a worthless shit, and locking him up or killing him is a waste of tax payer moneys.

Yep.
i have ammo
Unfortunately, the Big Green Machine has tolerated multiple cases of insubordination and Soldiers who have gone AWOL in a manner which could be considered desertion during this non-war. Never anything this flagrant, but when they have deserted stateside they have often failed to prosecute beyond a UCMJ slap on the wrist. There would be plenty of volunteers for his well deserved firing squad, but I doubt he's losing sleep over it.

O'Reilly interviewed a military leader Monday evening. I heard about this then. He seems to think the prosecution is going forward.
