marshall. i do believe based on everything i heard, bill the two charges will be sustained and this is going to move towards court-martial. bill: do you believe it s a hard case to prove or not? the army has got to essentially walk a very fine line here. i m aware of classified information they don t plan on using which would be far more persuasive. they have to do things to protect sources and methods, at the same time, present a fact all case that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt bergdahl planned to walk away, did walk away and did collaborate with the enemy to some degree. i think the army can do that. bill: colonel, thank you very much. martha. martha: last night s debate is now in the books. who were the winners and who is in trouble? the breakdown coming up.
