Anyone shocked there hasn't been a Presidential pardon?

Come on gentlemen! Why be so hard on this kind soul? He was just a mere lad of 23 when he went on his walkabout. Why, under the ACA, he would have still had three years of coverage under his parent's medical insurance had he not gone to find himself-both in the Army and in the Afghani wilderness.

In the grand scheme of things, I expect that his courts-martial will be national news every night and that the MSM will trot out the same old 'experts' who will tell us how 'poor Bowe' was just trying to bring bad leadership to light. Of course, they'll gloss over all the bad things and in the end, I bet our current administration is hoping our little buddy will get a general discharge and walk away fairly unscathed to justify the swap.

Me, I hope they throw the book at him and he spends the rest of his life living under a bridge, eating garbage to survive. Oh sorry! Is that too harsh? Okay, maybe he just spends his days under a bridge, sleeps at night in a homeless shelter where he can also get fed a meal a day.

Awaiting President Obama's Jan 19th pardon probably.

We just buried a MSG in GA who went out and put his own life on the line to look for Bergdahl. He should be reduced to 0 be required to pay back his awol time and then stripped of ALL benefits. Maybe BHO will help him!!
