Finally! See? All we needed was a Mexican judge instead of a lame-duck State Department.

SSG Keven Lahde, incredibly (!) I didn't think of that. Of course! But "they" are still waiting until after November 4th to release the "verdict" on SGT Bergdahl. That's a hot potato and the White House painted itself into a tough corner with the way they handled his release.

CW5 (Join to see) Chief I think everyone, myself included, feels that anything less that dishonorable discharge will piss everyone off I feel. That who story just seems to be a lot of gaps on missing lots and he knows he is guilty and a traitor. I guess I can't speak for everyone, but that is my take on it.

If even half of the Bergdahl story is true (what's read on the news) he deserves whatever desertion warrants.

It's good to see justice prevailing. Welcome home and Semper Fidelis brother.

Too bad it took so long. Regardless of what his actions were, there is no reason for an American citizen, much less an active duty Marine to be held in the hands of the Mexican authorities for as long as he was. We need to take care of our own.

I'm glad he's finally coming home.
The LA Times is reporting differently than your assertion that we have a lame-duck State Department that isn't doing anything...

“Quite frankly, Mr. Tahmooressi’s case has gotten a tremendous amount of attention from the State Department,” said Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State John D. Feeley, the No. 2 official in the department’s Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs and former Marine Corps officer. “This is a case we have raised repeatedly and at high levels with the Mexicans. Secretary [John F.] Kerry did it in May. I have raised the case with the Mexican ambassador in Washington, our ambassador in Mexico has raised it with the [Mexican] foreign secretary and we have had excellent cooperation in that we have had access to him on a regular basis.”

The story and spin behind ex-Marine Tahmooressi, jailed in Mexico
Although many things about the case against former Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi are murky, one thing is clear:

I'm sure that the LA times is right. The State Department was right on top of things....for about 8 months.
PS...I made no "assertion". I gave an opinion based on fact.
