Veterans disapprove of Bowe Bergdahl payout: 'Give it to the individuals who no longer have a father

Local veterans joined the guys of "The Conservative Cartel' to discuss life in the military, brotherhood, and their dismay about what's unfolded with Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl who disappeared in Afghanistan in 2009. Colleagues called him a deserter and the search for Bergdahl resulted in the deaths of six soldiers.

Bergdahl received zero jail time for deserting his base and was dishonorably discharged after a court ruling, however, he will receive up to $300,000 in back pay from the Army.

Tune into the podcast to hear what veterans had to say.
