Bowe Bergdahl to Face Court-Martial on Desertion Charges
— A top Army commander on Monday ordered that Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl face a
court-martial on charges of desertion and endangering troops stemming
from his decision to leave his outpost in 2009, prompting a huge manhunt
in the wilds …
from the article: The decision by Gen. Robert B. Abrams, head of Army Forces Command at
Fort Bragg, N.C., means that Sergeant Bergdahl, 29, faces a possible
life sentence, a far more serious penalty than had been recommended by
the Army’s own investigating officer, Lt. Gen. Kenneth Dahl, who
testified at the sergeant’s preliminary hearing in September that a jail
sentence would be “inappropriate.”
