When word first came out of the exchange of five top Muslim terrorists for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, it seemed we could attribute the debacle to the usual poor judgment of a conspicuously unqualified president... But as more information comes to light, it is starting to smell like something even worse, says the blog Moonbattery.
"Bergdahl was not a legitimate prisoner of war. He is a deserter who went AWOL and turned up among a band of terrorists. He has been described by a company commander as a “dirtbag” and a “sympathizer” (with the terrorist enemy) Moonbattery alleges.

Vierkant said Bergdahl needs to not only acknowledge his actions publicly but face a military trial for desertion under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. [More] [BJS]
