Bergdahl complains about being tried by a Kangaroo Court and thinks we might as well return to lynch mobs

In 2009, Bowe Bergdahl was positioned in a forward outpost in Afghanistan when he up and took off, leaving his fellow soldiers behind. He was soon captured by the Taliban and held prisoner for five years until 2014 when Obama agreed to a shameful exchange of five terrorists being held at Gitmo for the deserter..
In an interview with a filmmaker last year that was just released Sunday by The Sunday Times, Bergdahl implies that this country has treated him worse than his Taliban captors. He said he could not get a fair trial because Trump referred to him as a “dirty, rotten traitor” and called for him to be executed while campaigning for the presidency, and Trump is now commander-in-chief of the military tribunal that court martialed him.
“We may as well go back to kangaroo courts and lynch mobs that got what they wanted,” Bergdahl said in the interview. “The people who want to hang me — you're never going to convince those people.”
Bergdahl did say that he was beaten and otherwise mistreated while in captivity.
Last Monday Bergdahl pled guilty to desertion and misbehavior before the enemy. He faces a sentence of life in prison.
Instead of sending the deserter to prison, let me suggest that since he believes he has been treated worse in this country than by those who held him captive for five years, they ship his unhappy ass off to Afghanistan and give him back to the Taliban.
