i think you meant, his defense makes zero sense to you.

 

and what about schizotypal personality disorder - does that only occur AFTER an event?

Would you consider that defense good enough to let the Vegas shooter out of a sentence, had he lived?

Bear in mind... Bergdahl didn't have that condition while he was serving.  Only came about when he needed a defense.

If it's a good enough defense for a traitor to our nation, why not for the shooter?  Both caused people to die.  Both supposedly have mental issues.  Can't hold them responsible for their actions.

Obviously he's more qualified to be making life and death decisions over some judge in the military.  I say, let's bring back Lynch mobs, or at the very allow random keyboard warriors to dispense just. This is here is merica after all.

i seriously think all the bergdahl hatred comes from the fact that his dad said something in arabic and all the obama/gitmo release "see obama is really a terrorist" nonsense coming from the likes of the daily caller, etc..but now, now we're supposed to be all MAGA and hanging traitors by their toenails in the public square..

Your life has never been in the hands of the people you served on the front lines with.  Their actions could never have gotten you killed.  And that's why you'll never understand.

No, all the hatred comes about because those of us that have served and put our lives on the line are calling his BS. I have stood watch in a guard post countless hours while in Fallujah in 2006-2007 and I never thought about slipping through the concertina wire to the enemy beyond all to highlight some injustice I thought was going on at the time.

No, I did my duty and stood my watch because I knew my brothers counted on me, and I did that knowing it could have dire circumstances for the whole FOB that I was at. So what if we're emotionally screwed up because some of our buddies died earlier that day and we had to go help pick up whatever pieces of them that we could find, all the while running on 2 hours of sleep. It was our duty to do it and we had to do it. 

 

He did not have PTSD while there with his fellow soldiers and the defense using that is a load of #######. So for him to get nothing is beyond insulting.

so, because you don't have a particular medical issue no one else can? i suppose it doesn't matter much what your opinion of his medical condition is, considering you're not a doctor or a military judge. really put off by your flippant "so what" attitude

I’ll type real slow this time.

 

The Vegas shooter supposedly had mental issues, and was responsible for the death of innocent Americans.  

 

Bergdahl supposedly had mental issues, and is responsible for the death of innocent Americans.

 

You seem to think Bergdahl deserves to go free.  Using the same defense, then shouldn’t the Vegas shooter be allowed to go free, had he lived?  (In your opinion, I mean).

Wrong.

 

The Vegas shooter was a terrorist.
