Bowe Bergdahl trial: Searcher thought he was going to die in Afghanistan (Report)

A soldier who thought he was “going to definitely die right there in Afghanistan” after coming under fire while searching for Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl was among the veterans to speak Thursday as prosecutors presented evidence that Bergdahl’s disappearance put lives at risk.

The testimony came during the sentencing phase for Bergdahl, who faces up to life in prison after he pleaded guilty to desertion and misbehavior before the enemy. Bergdahl was held captive by Taliban allies for five years after abandoning his remote post in 2009.

Several witnesses described a search mission by U.S. and Afghan troops to comb two villages for information related to Bergdahl days after he disappeared.

“It’s a dangerous area…time is not on your side,” Retired Army Col. Robert Campbell, a commander in the operation to rescue Bergdahl, told prosecutors Thursday.
