We can scarcely style five years in Taliban POW captivity as someone who "avoids prison." It seems military justice has dodged a bullet, barely, because the US public would righteously have harsh judgement indeed for anyone who wishes to torment the POW casualty of Cheney's illegal regime of war, unprosecuted US war crimes, and un-remediated US crimes against humanity.

Hey, is there a fund for the public to help pay Bergdahl's $1000 fines? He shouldn't have to pick up a cent of that, that's on Uncle Sam. But I guess, we being a civilized public, can help this victim deflect that harassment and further injury at the hands of their failed and wayward government.
