As we recently noted, Bowe Bergdahl’s court-martial conviction for Army desertion was thrown out by a federal judge on a claim that the sentencing judge was biased.

Now House Republicans are calling for a new trial for Bergdahl.

This is the right thing to do. As many as six soldiers were killed in the search for Bergdahl following his disappearance.

Townhall reports:

Republicans Want Bowe Bergdahl to Face New Trial After Desertion Conviction Is Thrown Out

House Republicans, led by Rep. Michael Waltz (R-FL), are calling for the Department of Justice and Department of Defense to have a new trial for former Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl after a judge threw out his case for desertion and misbehavior before the enemy.

The New York Post reports U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton ruled Tuesday that Bergdahl would have his sentence overturned, after he pled guilty in 2017, due to his court-martial judge’s failure to disclose a possible conflict of interest. The reasoning was because Army Col. Jeffery Nance failed to disclose that he had applied to the Trump administration for a post as a federal immigration judge the same day.

GOP lawmakers wrote a letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland Bergdahl saying having his conviction overturned dishonors the soldiers who were “endangered and potentially … killed” as a result of his actions. Bergdahl did not have to serve time in prison after pleading guilty to walking away from his post in Afghanistan, resulting in him being captured by the Taliban and held for five years.

People are justifiably outraged.

I’m hot right now

All I’m gonna say is that the safest place for him was solitary in the brig.
The world can be a real dangerous place sometimes. Extra dangerous for someone directly responsible for getting good guys hurt and killed.https://t.co/yLktWNtOxO

Bowe Bergdahl is a traitor and the families of the soldiers killed searching for him deserve justice.

He already plead guilty and we’re demanding a retrial. https://t.co/wLYJIk7fAL

A hunting expert who recently spoke to FOX News is claiming that the Biden administration is withholding key funding to schools with hunting and archery programs.

He said this is due to the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act or BSCA.

At a time when so many young people need more exercise and time in the outdoors, this makes absolutely no sense.

FOX News reports:

Biden admin withholding key funding for schools with hunting, archery programs

The Biden administration is blocking key federal funding earmarked under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965 for schools with hunting and archery programs.

According to federal guidance circulated among hunting education groups and shared with Fox News Digital, the Department of Education determined that, under the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA) passed last year, school hunting and archery classes are precluded from receiving federal funding. The interpretation could impact millions of American children enrolled in such programs.

“It’s a negative for children. As a former educator of 30-plus years, I was always trying to find a way to engage students,” Tommy Floyd, the president of the National Archery in the Schools Program, told Fox News Digital in an interview. “In many communities, it’s a shooting sport, and the skills from shooting sports, that help young people grow to be responsible adults. They also benefit from relationships with role models.”

“You’ve got every fish and wildlife agency out there working so hard to utilize every scrap of funding, not only for the safety and hunter education, but for the general understanding of why stewardship is so important when it comes to natural resources,” he continued.

Jazz Shaw of Hot Air notes that there is nothing in the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act that prohibits archery or hunting:

Nothing about archery or hunting was mentioned anywhere in the legislation. The portion being cited by the White House as justification for withholding the funding wasn’t even included in the original bill. An amendment tacked on at the end included an exception that would withhold funding to schools that “provide any person with a dangerous weapon or provide training in the use of a dangerous weapon.”

This looks like nothing more than the typical liberal disdain for the Second Amendment and people who own guns and hunt. The Biden admin. should not be allowed to withhold this funding.
