Bergdahl disappeared from Combat Outpost Mest-Lalak in Paktika province, Afghanistan, on June 30, 2009 and was the subject of a controversial prisoner swap in 2014. Here is footage of the swap:

Since his swap outrage has been felt among the military community who believe he willingly left his post and deserted. Now, Bergdahl will face these charges of desertion and misbehavior, facing up to life in prison.
