"Eugene Fidell, Bergdahl’s attorney, told The Washington Post that his client was handed a charge sheet on Tuesday. Army officials announced they will provide an update in his case at 3:30 p.m. at Fort Bragg, N.C., but declined to discuss new developments ahead of the news conference."

As he should.
Agree with AllenS.
I must say that was one very long AR 15-6 board of inquiry & investigation. Now he gets his Article 32 UCMJ investigation (like pre-trial for civilians) to determine if sufficient evidence exists for Court Marshal, General (with a jury of officers & NCO's) or Special...one Court officer like a bench trial.
In my experience, once past the Article 32 stage, the court theme is "bring the guilty booger in!"
As it should be in this case.
Dang! "Court Marshal" = "Court Martial"
Need to make more coffee :-(
Life in prison.
Correction: A Special Court Martial involves a judge and a three officer panel....it is a Summary Court Martial that is like a bench trial...and likely not applicable to these offenses. A General Court Martial has a officer judge and from 5 to 12 Officers as a jury, one of which may be an NCO.
Not being a military criminal I get them confused now and then :-(
Leastwise, he will soon be able to get that sex change operation.

Every member of the Administration who suggested Bergdahl's platoon mates were lying need to resign in disgrace. Starting with @marieharf.... State Dept. spokesperson.
Looks like the Army is finally having a MacArthur moment vis a vis the Choom Gang.
Maybe more than one.
Is he going to face any involuntary manslaughter charges for the soldiers that died looking for him?
Can anyone name the parents of any other military person who were hugged and greeted in the Rose Garden by the President. Obama did that family no favors. If the administration hadn't made such a big deal of his "honorable service", many would have let some of this slide. Bergdahl clearly doesn't deserve six years of back pay, an honorable discharge, and a triumphant homecoming. If he had been allowed to slink back after a tearful apology for the trouble he caused, many would have been willing to grant him oblivion if not pardon. Obama screws up the lives of even those he wants to help--or especially those he wants to help.
In the Obama universe Bergdahl is the new patriot.

Well, you know, traitors have to remain united and all that.
