Charles Graner, the sadist torture freak leader of Abu Ghraib, only served 6 years in prison, and I think his actions probably cost more American lives than this kid.

Bergdahl was imprisoned for 5 and 1/2 years. I think at most, his crime was going AWOL that night. He didn't abandon his post, he did his watch, was relieved and instead of going to bed, he left the base, and was captured.
