On Wednesday, the U.S. Army charged Bowe Bergdahl with desertion and misbehavior before the enemy. Bergdahl, who walked away from his post in Afghanistan and was captured by the Taliban, was controversially exchanged last year for five senior Taliban leaders held in Guantanamo.
These charges come despite strong indications that the White House tried to tamp them down, thereby preserving whatever deceitful narrative it is promulgating today on the matter. Any rational examination of the facts indicates that in charging Bergdahl the Army got it right, despite what I’m sure was considerable pressure to not get it right.
I’m heartened not just by that, but by what it represents in a larger sense. It’s another indication that this greatest country in the world shall survive the petulant, treacherous brat ostensibly “leading” it at the moment.
Though America has certainly suffered her wounds under him, it seems that two hundred thirty-nine years of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is not easily undone by one man and his evil band, however motivated.
