Plan B Forum

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who was held by the Taliban for five years and freed in exchange for five detainees in Guantanamo Bay, will face charges of desertion and misbehavior before the enemy in a general court-martial, instead of a misdemeanor-level forum, the Army announced Monday.

A date for an arraignment hearing at Fort Bragg, N.C., will be announced later... The U.S. Army Forces Command charged the 29-year-old Bergdahl on March 25 with "desertion with intent to shirk important or hazardous duty" and "misbehavior before the enemy by endangering the safety of a command, unit or place."
