Bergdahl was captured by the Taliban because he deserted in the first place. He's not someone deserving of sympathy. He should be tried, convicted, and then executed for desertion in the face of the enemy. For those that don't know Desertion is a capital offense in the military during wartime. The fact is we should have let him rot in that Taliban Hell hole.
@Believe, under the Geneva convention the Taliban wouldn't need to be tried as they were caught out of a formal uniform. In that circumstance they can be treated as spies and executed on the spot. I don't think Patton would have had an issue doing that.
