Bowe Bergdahl is being tried for deserting his post in 2009. He has pleaded guilty to walking away from his post due to concerns about the chain of command in the Army. His fellow Army troops started searching for him and went on an extremely dangerous mission for 19 days in order to help him. A K-9 Officer died during a fire fight and a Navy SEAL was seriously wounded when he was shot in the knee. He is still dealing with that injury today. Bowe Bergdahl has defended his actions but faces life in prison.

I think that it is wrong that Bergdahl walked away from his post and put so many people in danger. He made the choice to sign up for the military and should have honored that commitment.
I agree, however, there must be more to the story in my opinion. This almost seams like it had to do with something concerning his mental health. What do you think?
