The sentence upon U.S army sergeant Bo Bergdahl was finally handed down today by the military court before whom he was summoned to stand.
The verdict. Guilty of desertion from his army unit. The maximum sentence for this cowardly defection... life imprisonment.
Actual sentence .. dishonourable discharge, demotion and loss of pay.
Conclusion:
There is simply no justice to be found in a cock-eyed system that court martial's soldiers for battlefield excesses such as failing to give wounded prisoners proper care and sustenance and exonerates deserters on the ground of psychological impairment.
In my own country the courts have just awarded Omar Khadr ten million dollars for unusual pain and suffering while in Guantanamo Bay detention centre. This is the man who blew up a U.S. marine with a hand grenade while fighting in Afghanistan.
Now he lives in luxury in Canada while a widow grieves for her husband in Idaho.
May God help us. Surely the lunatics are running the asylum!
Jubilate anyway.
