Argue that Sergeant Bergdahl is not a traitor, and cite historical examples of soldiers who changed sides during a conflict without being labeled as such.
This guy was an idiot but not a traitor.  Those of you wishing to lynch him or suggest he is a traitor should examine a few historical facts. Former British soldiers and officers came over to the "Americans".  We gladly accepted them. Were they traitors? Many of the American revolutions officers were militia officers in the British Army, to include George Washington. Was he a traitor? How about the American Civil War?  No matter which side you supported, half of the country would be traitors from the perspective of the other half of the country. Was General Lee a traitor?Senator McCain should rethink his comments about Sergeant Bergdahl. He will end up with a dishonorable discharge and pay for his stupidity many times over throughout his life.
