MG Dahl, the investigator, submitted his report in mid-October. His report then went through a lengthy legal review. Uh huh. This doesn't make sense -- maybe DAT can weigh in on it.
With the political sensitivities such as they are, why wouldn't an entire BATTALION of lawyers conduct this "lengthy legal review"? Is it solely because of the legal ramifications? These seem pretty well predetermined to me -- is Bergdahl guilty of being AWOL? Or of desertion?
Or is it because Barry instructed DoD to take its sweet time while Bergdahl "recovers from his ordeal"?
According to the link below, Hagel wasn't even briefed on the report results until this past Friday.
Bergdahl is eligible to receive up to $300,000 in back pay -- depending on the results of the investigation and any actions coming out of it.
