Seargent Bowe Bergdahl, who was charged with deserting his combat outpost in Afghanistan before being captured by the Taliban in 2009, sought time on Tuesday to decide whether a military judge or jury of soldiers will decide his legal fate.
Bergdahl, who spent five years as a Taliban prisoner before gaining his release in a prisoner swap in 2014, faces a court-martial after being charged earlier this year with desertion and endangering U.S. troops. The latter offense carries a life sentence if he is convicted.
