I am active duty Army (Infantry). The universal expression from EVERYONE active duty is: glad he's back; if he warrants punishment, nail his ass to the wall.

A good friend of mine, SSG Clay Bowen died from an IED while he set up and manned a blocking position as Bergdahl's unit raided a village (which turned into a dry hole, obviously) in an effort to find him. Clay died on the 18th of July, about 2 weeks after Bergdahl deserted. By that time he was likely already in Pakistan.

Emotions are running high out here in the regular Army.
