Based on reports from Reuters, Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl was charged with desertion for walking away from his combat post in Afghanistan in 2009. The White House said on Saturday that Bergdahl has asked President Barack Obama for a pardon. Once Republican President-elect Donald Trump is in office, there is potential for Bergdahl’s consequence to be greater. Trump said that Bergdahl was "a no-good traitor who should have been executed," causing complaints from Bergdahl’s defense team.
