Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who was held captive by the Taliban for half a decade after abandoning his Afghanistan post, is in the middle of a sentencing hearing for his guilty plea to desertion, which prosecutors say injured and killed U.S. soldiers who searched for him. NPR reporter Greg Myre, who has been covering the case in military court at Fort Bragg, joins Hari Sreenivasan from Washington.
