I hope the appeal to drop charges works, but... this is the military and they operate very differently from civilians. It's a different play book. Hard to know how this will play out.

I think Bergdahl will probably spend the rest of his life needing psych support after 5-YEARS. Mercy is called for anyway they can get it.
