Recent rulings by Bowe Bergdahl court-martial Judge Col.Jeffery Nance indicate things are not looking good for this deserter. That’s bad news for him.
Most everyone knows the basic points of the Robert Bowdrie (Bowe) Bergdahl saga. He left his post in Afghanistan and was captured by the Taliban, a Sunni extremist group. Based upon his last letter to his parents before he went AWOL, he called
His battalion commander “a conceited old fool”
the U.S. army “the biggest joke the world has to laugh at”
and said
“I am ashamed to be an american”.
There was little doubt that he deserted his post as well as the army.
Ignoring the policy that the U.S. does not negotiate with terrorists, President Obama brought “POW” Bergdahl home in exchange for five Taliban terrorist prisoners being detained at the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, prison facility. As President Trump often says, this was a “bad deal”!
Then, in December 2015, General Robert Abrams reaffirmed Bergdahl be tried by a general court-martial for his actions based on two charges:
One count of “desertion with intent to shirk important or hazardous duty”
and
And one count of “misbehavior before the enemy by endangering the safety of a command, unit or place.”
If Bergdahl is convicted, the maximum penalty is life in prison.
In the meantime, spokesman for U.S. Army Forces Command at Fort Bragg, Paul Boyce, reported in December 2015, that trial judge, U.S. Army Col. Jeffery R. Nance told prosecutors and defense attorneys that jury selection process will begin on Oct. 16, 2017, and the trial will begin on Oct. 23.
Now here is the latest news affecting Bergdahl’s impending court-martial. On July 1, 2017, Judge Nance rejected the argument by the defense that the charge of misbehavior should be dropped; and also ruled that injuries sustained by two personnel who went looking for Bergdahl after his desertion could be used in determining his sentence if convicted.
About the injuries of Sgt.1st Class Mark Allen and retired Senior Chief Petty Officer James Hatch, a Navy SEAL, Judge Nance said
“Neither Allen nor Hatch would have been where they were doing what they were doing but for the actions of the accused, assuming he is found guilty of (misbehavior before the enemy).”
Both were severely injured:
Allen was shot in the head while searching for Bergdahl. He suffered a traumatic brain injury, is confined to a wheelchair and is unable to communicate. Hatch suffered a career-ending broken femur on a separate mission to search for Bergdahl.
Most veterans believe that facts indicate Bergdahl should be convicted and be given the maximum penalty of life in prison. Anything less would be adding insult to the injuries received by Allen and Hatch during their search for this deserter.
Ivanka Viciously Attacked While Leaving G20 Meeting After They Saw What She Did in Front Of World Leaders
The “tolerant’ left is at it again. This time attacking the President’s daughter for stepping up her role at the G20 Summit temporary taking a a seat while her father President Trump, stepped out for a bilateral meeting with Indonesian President Joko Widodo.
The left either in the media, music industry and in Hollywood have been nothing but vile towards the first family since Donald Trump was elected into office. Sure, Ivanka Trump might be in the fashion business, but don’t let that fool you with the level of skills she has acquired over the years. President Donald Trump is a very successful businessman prior to his Presidency. He would not have picked Ivanka Trump to work by his side if she was incompetent. Besides, if you haven’t noticed on what has been going on in Europe, it’s not like their leaders are competition. I am willing to be that she has more skills and qualifications than most of today’s European leaders.
It comes down to this, the Democrats and everyone who supports them have been unhinged. Their true colors are showing and anything that President Trump does they act like they are experts and attack. You would think with the position Ivanka Trump has in the White House, the feminist or other liberal groups would be happy with women empowerment, but liberals are hypocrites. Their hatred for President Trump clouds their judgment and facts.
Here are some of the examples of hatred on Twitter from the left, it is sickening.
Via Daily Mail:
Ivanka Trump turned heads on Saturday at the G20 summit by temporarily taking a seat at the big-kids’ table when her father, President Donald Trump, stepped out for a bilateral meeting with Indonesian President Joko Widodo.
A White House official told DailyMail.com that the younger Trump’s fill-in role was nothing out of the ordinary.
UK Prime Minister Theresa May was seen leaving the G20 meeting room at one point, a source with knowledge of the summit’s goings-on said, and her place was briefly taken by an aide.
But when the 35-year-old former fashion executive sat at the table with Xi Jinping, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Angela Merkel and Theresa May, Trump’s enemies pounced.
Historian Anne Applebaum tweeted a complaint, denouncing ‘an unelected, unqualified, unprepared New York socialite’ being seen as ‘the best person to represent American national interests.’
Brian Klass, an Oxford scholar who once served as deputy campaign manager for a Democratic governor of Minnesota, tweeted that she was representing the U.S. as an ‘unelected, unqualified daughter-in-chief.’
‘This kind of thing happens all the time. In dictatorships,’ added self-described women’s rights activist Amy Siskind.
And Charles Blow, the liberal New York Times columnist, wrote flatly: ‘Why the hell is Ivanka Trump sitting in for daddy at G20 meetings?! What are her qualifications? Who voted for her?’
It’s not uncommon for leaders to send proxies to attend meetings in their steads, even at high-profile international summits.
Hillary Clinton also famously stepped in during the 1990s to lead a government commission on redesigning the nation’s health care system, standing in for her husband despite not having been elected to any official post.
The Trump White House official said Saturday that Ms. Trump ‘was sitting in the back and then briefly joined the main table when the President had to step out.’
The official said that when Ivanka stepped up, World Bank President Jim Yong Kim had begun to talk about ‘areas such as African development – areas that will benefit from the facility just announced by the World Bank.’
That facility, a women’s entrepreneurship empowerment fund, was spearheaded by Ivanka and has grown to $300 million with the help of a $50 million U.S. donation.
Putin Confirms TRUTH About Hillary The Media Was HIDING VIDEO
The media continues to lie for the Democrats. President Trump just had an incredibly successful meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin — but the media is only concerned with conspiracy theories.
President Trump and Vladimir Putin have agreed to a cease fire in Southwest Syria. Vladimir Putin has previously claimed that ISIS was created by Hillary Clinton, and former President Obama.
Back in 2015, when ISIS was at its height, Vladimir Putin explained how the largest terrorist group in history was created thanks to the Obama administration.
The Russian president claims that ISIS was able to bolster their ranks by hiring mercenaries originally armed and bought by the Obama administration to fight the Syrian government.
Additionally, the Democrats created a power vacuum in the area when they announced that American troops in Iraq were being pulled out. This vacuum helped created ISIS.
ISIS was able to grow unchecked, and hired mercenaries armed with American weapons. ISIS was then able to capture oil fields in the now-insecure Iraq in order to finance their terrorism.
Obama further helped ISIS by creating a market for their ill-gotten oil wealth. ISIS was selling oil to American allies with Obama’s tacit consent – he never attempted to cut off the terrorists’ revenue sources.
At their height in 2015, ISIS was netting over $81 million per month thanks the Obama administration. However, since the election of President Trump, ISIS revenue has dropped to $16 million per month. President Trump is beating ISIS back fast, and the terror group is rapidly ceding territory. (via CNN Money)
It is the loss of territory that is impacting the bottom line of ISIS the most. What was once the richest terror organization under Obama has shrank to a nuisance the size of Belgium thanks to President Trump. Now, ISIS is barely holding onto two cities on and the terror group is on the verge of collapse.
The speed at which President Trump has dispatched ISIS reveals that either was completely ineffectual or he made no attempt to stop the spread of ISIS.
President Trump reveals the power of the American military when it is allowed to act. Moral leadership is righting the wrongs of the Obama administration while forming important partnerships abroad.
