I was surprised and saddened that former SGT Bowe Bergdahl was let off with no prison time for desertion in the face of the enemy. Dishonorable discharge is bad but no prison time is deplorable IMHO.

Former Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl avoids jail time after pleading guilty to desertion charges.
A judge ruled for Bergahl to be dishonorably discharge and lose his title rank, as well as forfeit his pay.
On Monday, Bergdahl’s lawyers filed a surprise motion to dismiss the case, saying President Trump’s comments influenced the case.
However, that motion was dismissed.
Bergdahl was held captive for five years by the Taliban after leaving his post in Afghanistan back in 2009.
Six soldiers died and several other were injured while searching for Bergdahl.
President Obama brought him back to the U.S. in 2014 in exchange for 5 Taliban soldiers."
[Novmeber 4, 2017 Update] It is sad news that 31-year-old Bowe Bergdahl from Hailey, Idaho already has a job offer from an animal sanctuary, and a military official who helps design survival training said he would like to use Bergdahl as a part of lectures to service members on how to survive captivity.
Sadly former POTUS Obama swapped five Taliban prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay for him. Bergdahl was stationed at a military installation in San Antonio during the Court Martial.
At the time of Bergdahl’s release, Obama said the U.S. does not leave service members on the battlefield. Republicans roundly criticized Obama, and Trump went further while campaigning for president, repeatedly calling Bergdahl a traitor who deserved serious punishment."

Not an unexpected outcome. The judge had already noted that while he hadn't been influenced by our flatulent POTUS' campaign comments and reference to them a week or so ago, he had to also take into account public perception. I do wish POTUS would put a cork in it. His unnecessary comments after the sentencing are surely going to be used in Bergdahl's appeal of the DD.
