Have heard about the bowe bergdahl event. back to you, guys. martin savage, we so appreciate it. thank you, sir. let s bring in marine attorney gary solas. good to have you with us here. thank you, sir. let s jump off what we heard from martin savage there and this claim that sergeant bergdahl was delusional and had odd thoughts in this psychological defense. what role does that play in the decision to either recommend that or if the decision rather that bergdahl will face court marshall or not. well, it may influence the decision, but it s not a defense. i think that it s clear that bergdahl knew what he was doing. while he may have had delusional thoughts, that doesn t raise to an insanity defense. so i think it wi have no practical effect on whether the case goes forward. should it go to trial, it could have an impact on sentence. let s talk about the sentencing now. because we heard from major general kenneth dahl, the leader
