After a military judge ruled Friday that Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl will not face prison time for walking off his post in Afghanistan in 2009, President Donald Trump was quick to call the decision a disgrace.
The decision on Sergeant Bergdahl is a complete and total disgrace to our Country and to our Military.

The President’s criticism of the decision was one of many tweets he published while aboard Air Force One on his way to Hawaii.
Trump has called for Bergdahl to face significant punishment for leaving his post, a decision that led to injuries for his fellow soldiers as they searched for him. The judge in the case said that he would consider Trump’s harsh comments about Bergdahl as a mitigating factor in the sentencing.
“Law and order” president, remember? Remember the talking points? They were right next to the “Hillary the hawk, Donald the dove” ones.

Total disgrace? Look in the mirror, you traitorous moron.
Leave it to someone who’s never served to question a military judge, which is not to say military judges are beyond question. Just that Trump’s opinions are always so predictable, knee jerk, and fact-free. I guess we should be happy he didn’t call him an “animal” that belongs in Gitmo.
I believe his sentence was mitigated because he provided the Military with significant information about the Taliban that they otherwise probably wouldn’t have obtained.
Trump of all people should be relieved that you can commit a serious infraction and face no real consequences. Then, again, understanding that he is like other people is beyond Trump’s powers of cognition.
