Wearing a dress blue uniform, Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl faced a military judge Tuesday for the first time since the U.S. Army decided to proceed with a military trial that could result in a life sentence for his disappearance in Afghanistan in 2009.
Bowe Bergdahl, Taliban ex-captive released in May 2014, has not been charged with desertion, no decision has been made, according to U.S. Army officials.
Jani Bergdahl and her husband Bob rarely spoke to the media over the last five years as they fought to get their son, Bowe, back from captivity in Afghanistan.
