CNN commentator and cop killer cheerleader Marc Lamont Hill doesn’t think the Army’s being very fair to alleged deserter Bowe Bergdahl:
What do you think is an appropriate punishment for Bergdahl? Should he be punished at all?
— Marc Lamont Hill (@marclamonthill) March 26, 2015
Even if Bergdahl is guilty, and he deserves a fair trial before we determine that, I don't think life in prison (or death) is appropriate.

Also, the man spent 5 years imprisoned and tortured by the Taaliban. Does that not count as time served?
— Marc Lamont Hill (@marclamonthill) March 26, 2015
Uhhh …
@marclamonthill no it doesn't

No. "@marclamonthill: Also, the man spent 5 years imprisoned and tortured by the Taaliban. Does that not count as time served?"

Awww, c’mon, guys. Hasn’t Bergdahl suffered enough?
At some point, we must get out of the mind set of always equating justice with punishment, and punishment with confinement.

@marclamonthill Was he captured in combat? Or was is imprisonment a result of his desertion? Makes a big difference, don't you think?

@OfTooth no. if he was imprisoned while deserting, he seems to have paid a hefty price!

@I_AM_SUPERIOR I have no investment in how Obama looks. I only worry about the wellbeing of this soldier…
— Marc Lamont Hill (@marclamonthill) March 26, 2015
What about the well-being of the soldiers who lost their lives searching for him? Or do their lives not matter?
@marclamonthill @I_AM_SUPERIOR your concerned about a soldier who cost American lives (trying to find him)?
— Todd H. (@Thak27) March 26, 2015
@marclamonthill His actions caused deaths of American military personnel, he has to answer for that.
— DPUD (@dubplusundead) March 26, 2015
If Bergdahl is guilty, he has a lot to answer for.

@marclamonthill life in prison, why not? He violated the most sacred code of honor.For us who served, it is everything.
