US President Donald Trump called a military judge's order on Friday to spare Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl from prison "a disgrace."
"The decision on Sergeant Bergdahl is a complete and total disgrace to our Country and to our Military," Trump wrote in a post on Twitter.
Bergdahl, 31, was captured and held hostage by the Taliban for five years after walking off his post in 2009.
The judge also ordered Bergdahl, who was captured by the Taliban, to be dishonorably discharged and recommended that he be demoted.
