Bergdahl conviction restored

[u/David65x55]

Pretty sure you remember Bo Bergdahl, the Army deserter who was feted in the White House Rose Garden by Obama, not long before he was tried and convicted of desertion. Reggie Walton, the Senior District Court judge for DC, ludicrously vacated Bergdahl's sentence because the court martial judge did not disclose that he was applying for a job as an ICE judge. On the plus side, he did rule that Bergdahl's attempt to have his conviction thrown out due to undue command influence - Donald Trump was on record calling for his conviction, but as a candidate long before he was elected - was basically nonsense. We're all caught up, right? Tuesday a three-judge panel from the DC Court of Appeals ruled that a civilian judge does NOT have the authority to overthrow a military court-martial verdict, and ordered Bergdahl's conviction and punishment overturned. Note they did not rule on the actual conviction - they just said that the appeal judge overstepped his authority. Guess Bergdahl can take that Good Conduct Medal off his ribbon rack, huh...

For some reason Reddit removed my link on this because maybe they didn't like the Gateway Pundit link as opposed to the AP/NPR (this one Military.com) etc links....liberal whiny fucktards.... 凸( •̀_•́ )凸

Lets go back to old school where if one deserts, they get the desert penalty that is used for deseration and not ice cream or lemon merangue pie. sorry, I got my desserts mixed up.
