"Bergdahl will faces charges under articles 85 and 99 of the military’s Uniform Code of Military Justice." Desertion and Misbehavior before the Enemy. Probably the worst things you could get charged with in the military.

I really didn't keep up with it all, beyond the initial drama after he returned. From what I heard previously, he had left his post before and the people in his unit were talking smack about him. I figured he would be charged eventually, since everything was stacking up against him.

He is accused by many of intentionally deserting his post and wandering off base, which led to his capture. Due to this, many people don't feel the same sympathy they would for a soldier who was taken captive during a battle or other military activity. Many see him as a deserter at best, and traitor/terrorist sympathizer at worst.

To sum it up, some people think he got himself into that mess on his own by being negligent, and he's not worth setting free 5 detained terrorist leaders. The post says he was pretty much formally charged with desertion

I was about to say the same thing. This guy was not worth the 5 terrorist we let go...
 
I've read several articles and they cover the desertion part, but the "misbehavior" part has me wondering if he did more than walk away. The term itself makes me think of a toddler, mooning the enemy and making fart sounds.
 
Traitor would be more accurate. This guy isn't worth the stain I left on my Toilet Paper.. :mad:
And for 6 others to die looking for him, and who knows how many else because of what he did..

Maybe he gone crazy. War is stressful. Soldiers commit suicide, kill their comrades, rape civilians, and other things.
