FORT BRAGG, N.C. (AP) – The Latest on the court-martial of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who walked off his post in Afghanistan.
Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl told a military judge he’s pleading guilty to desertion and misbehavior before the enemy.
His lawyer says the prosecution and defense have not agreed to a stipulation of facts in the case, which is an indication that they did not reach a deal to limit his punishment.
Bergdahl is charged with endangering his comrades by walking away from a remote post in Afghanistan in 2009.
He told the judge that he now understands that what he did caused others to search for him.
Bergdahl had been assigned to desk duty at a San Antonio Army base while his case unfolded.
