Army Sgt. Bergdahl pleading guilty to desertion, misbehavior

FORT BRAGG, N.C. — Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl told a military judge on Monday that he’s pleading guilty to desertion and misbehavior before the enemy.“I understand that leaving was against the law,” Bergdahl said.“At the time, I had no intention of causing search and recovery operations,” Bergdahl added, saying that now he does understand that his decision to walk off his remote post in Afghanistan in 2009 prompted efforts to find him.Bergdahl, 31, is charged with endangering his comrades by walking away from his post.

Despite his plea, the prosecution and defense have not agreed to a stipulation of facts in the case, according to one of his lawyers, Maj. Oren Gleich, which is an indication that they did not reach a deal to limit his punishment. The misbehavior charge carries a maximum penalty of life in prison, while the desertion charge is punishable by up to five years. He appears to be hoping for leniency from the judge, Army Col. Jeffery R. Nance.

One thing for sure no matter how bad his actions were, he at least did not draft dodge with something like bonespurs for an excuse.
