CNN is reporting Bowe Bergdahl is returning to duty.  The investigation into his alleged desertion continues and while most will be drawn into a discussion of his reintegration into civilization or the correctness of Bergdahl being assigned duties (seems inefficient to have to assign two supervisors to a soldier returning to duty) or getting $350k in back pay, what I found unbelievable was the following reported statement, “Talking to Bergdahl himself would likely be the last step in the investigation, one official said.”  HUH?

When’s the last time you heard of an investigation saving the interrogating of the prime suspect as the LAST THING?  Most investigations START with questioning the suspect to determine the direction of the investigation.  As I predicted in SOFREP, I doubt Bergdahl will be court martialed.  It’s less embarrassing to the Army and the administration to quietly separate him.  I still believe he will likely walk away with the same benefits and rewards as soldiers who didn’t desert and that’s the biggest shock of all.

Or is it…
