Bowe Bergdahl to face desertion charges: NBC - chairman - 01-27-2015
(Reuters) - U.S. Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, who disappeared from his base in Afghanistan in 2009 but was released last year in a prisoner swap with the Taliban, will be charged with desertion, according to NBC.
The television network, citing senior defense officials, said the charges could come within a week.
Reuters could not immediately confirm the report, and Bergdahl's attorney was not immediately available for comment.
Last month, the Army said it sent the findings from its investigation to a U.S. general to decide whether to discipline the soldier, who spent five years in captivity after leaving his post.
