Yes, I for one, have in fact convicted Bowe Bergdahl for desertion. He intentionally walked off his base, unarmed, after numerous utterings, emails, etc. of his disapproval of Army operations in Afghanistan. You can twist and contort and play mental gymnastics all you want in your defense of Bowe Bergdahl, but none of it changes the fact that he deserted the United States military on purpose, under his on free will.
He needs to be able to present hiis case, the combined actual evidence needs to be evaluated and adjudicated by the US Army, not FOX.
It's funny how those liberals on this forum who have a long, distinguished record of hating the United States military are all of sudden content with "waiting on the investigation to be finalized" before passing judgement on Bowe Bergdahl. For them to pass judgement on Bergdahl for deserting the military would be to side with the United States military.....something every single one of them are loathe to do. Waiting to pass judgement is not a case of being noble.....hardly......its a case of finding a way to actually side with the guy. Desertion is something every single on of these military-haters dream about and actually support as long as they don't have to be on record praising the United States military. It's part and parcel of their failed ideology. It is not coincidental in the slightest.

You are not alone......Propaganda be damned.....Way too many veterans out there that did the right thing...young and old...Bergdahl crossed the line...there is no grey area !
His father told him to "follow his conscience" when his dirtbag son started emailing him about being repulsed by the American involvement in Afghanistan. Not coincidentally, his son deserted.
His father should also be held accountable.
I'm no fan of our involvement in Afghanistan. In the end I might tell my son the same thing. My son in law has some real difficult things he is going through after seeing one too many of his friends die beside him in Iraq. If I thought I could save that fate for my son..........
I think Obama will do whatever he can to keep facts hidden ( non disclosure agreements handed out to his platoon) and prevent a court martial hearing in the first place.
If proven he's actually a POW then I would admit I was wrong, doesn't seem likely given whats out already.
I don't know much about how a court martial is organized, but I don't believe that the president has any direct say in how it is constituted.
Obama can of course try to influence the composition of the court martial, as can any opposing interests with the access. I would hope that the military oath to defend the Constitution would be on everyone's mind.
Unfortunately, this has gotten so political so fast that I am sure at least some people will never see the question as settled, regardless of the court martial's outcome.
One should note....converting to Islam doesn't make you a traitor.
I've been catching Fox here and there and they are asking what is in my mind the right questions about Bergdahl. Of course anyone without Obama lover syndrome would question Obama's bypassing congress and his trading 5 of their top guys for one. One of the guys who was there said they was glad that he is coming him but he should get a trial. He said that he wishes those 5 guys were not traded because they will kill Americans.
Did he convert to survive,
No one knows what they would do in these circumstances.
Stockholms syndrome
ptsd
then they look at the other side, was he a traitor, etc.
Fox doesn't seem to be trying to hang him from a tree. Is MSNBC?
