Not even close....that POS should be rotting in jail.
Staff Sergeant Clayton Bowen, 29, of San Antonio, Texas, and Private 1st Class Morris Walker, 23, of Chapel Hill, N.C., were killed by a roadside bomb in Paktika province on Aug. 18, 2009, while trying to find Bergdahl. Like Bergdahl, they were part of the 4th BCT from Fort Richardson, Alaska.
The wife of a seriously wounded soldier took the stand at the sentencing hearing for Army Sgt Bowe Bergdahl.
National Guard Master Sgt Mark Allen was shot in the temple during a search for Bergdahl in July 2009, causing life-altering injuries that left him unable to speak and dependent on a wheelchair.

US Air Force Lieutenant Colonel John Marx testified in the sentencing proceedings of Bergdahl's court martial
Early the morning of July 9, 2009, troops came under heavy fire. A grenade exploded near Texas Army National Guard Staff Sergeant Jason Walters, then an Army Ranger.
'Everything went black,' he testified. 'I saw stars.'
As soldiers scrambled back to their position behind a berm, Walters saw Sergeant 1st Class Mark Allen get shot in the head.
US Air Force Lieutenant Colonel John Marx, then a captain, said he helped load Allen unto a medical helicopter.
'That was probably one of the hardest things I've ever had to do, getting Sergeant Allen on that chopper,' Marx said. 'It was hot, we were dehydrated, and just carrying his limp body - it was tough.'
Allen suffered a traumatic brain injury and is now confined to a wheelchair and unable to communicate, according to prosecutors. His wife and doctor are expected to testify on Monday, when the sentencing hearing resumes.
Army Specialist Morita, who was hurt in the same ambush, underwent three surgeries to repair his hand.

Retired Navy Senior Chief Petty Officer James Hatch also testified about his career-ending injury and a a military dog killed on a mission searching for Bergdahl.
Hatch said the dog helped protect his team by locating enemy fighters after the SEALs lost sight of them in a chaotic situation.
'His name was Remco,' Hatch said as his voice cracked.
Hatch said his team's helicopters came under fire as they landed in an area near the Pakistan border where they had information on Bergdahl's possible whereabouts.
He said the mission was hastily planned, and their only objective was the Bergdahl search.

Remco was leading them through a field when the dog located two enemy fighters that the team had seen at a distance. Hatch said the fighters sprayed AK-47 bullets at them, killing the dog. He was hit in the leg.
'I screamed a lot. It hurt really bad... I thought I was dead,' he said.
Hatch said he believes he would have died if a comrade hadn't quickly applied a tourniquet. Hatch has subsequently had 18 surgeries.
He now runs a nonprofit dedicated to the care and support of military and law enforcement dogs.
Prosecutors are expected to call more witnesses in the afternoon to discuss the search missions and resulting wounds to multiple soldiers.
The judge, Army Col. Jeffery Nance, ruled those injuries would not have happened had Bergdahl, 31, not endangered his comrades in 2009 by walking away from his post.

</aside>The five Taliban terrorists President Obama released from Guantanamo Bay prison are back on the battlefield. The high profile fighters were exchanged in 2014 for Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, a soldier who deserted his fellow U.S. troops in Afghanistan. From the Military Times (bolding is mine):
Five members of the Afghan Taliban who were freed from the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay in exchange for captured American Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl have joined the insurgent group’s political office in Qatar, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said Tuesday.
They will now be among Taliban representatives negotiating for peace in Afghanistan, a sign some negotiators in Kabul say indicates the Taliban’s desire for a peace pact.
Others fear the five, all of whom were close to the insurgent group's founder and hard-line leader Mullah Mohammed Omar, bring with them the same ultra-conservative interpretation of Islam that characterized the group's five-year rule that ended in 2001 with the U.S.-led invasion.
