Former US Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who was captured by the Taliban after deserting a military base in Afghanistan, will avoid prison time according to a court’s ruling on Friday.
BREAKING: Judge rules that Bowe Bergdahl should serve no prison time for endangering comrades by walking off his Afghanistan post.

Bergdahl will receive a dishonorable discharge, but will receive no prison time for desertion and misbehavior before the enemy. He will also have to pay a $1,000 fine and have his rank reduced to E1.
Many military supporters were not pleased by the ruling:
