I dunno if I can listen to this season, being former army

if you've been deployed you are intimately aware how stunningly, AMAZINGLY retarded on every conceivable level Bergdahl's plan is and how none of it makes any real sense. it sucks too because his stated reason is totally loving justified - leadership in combat zones can be and often is lethally poor, and there's very little recourse for actual grunts to point this out or whistleblow. its just he chose the single worst possible way to do it

also the IED "gift" thing might be the single dumbest loving thing i've ever heard. oh, you ghosted out and had us scramble at least four separate militaries and two separate governmental organizations, with enough O-grades to court martial you ten times over, to look for you, wasting hundreds (possibly thousands) of man-hours and millions of dollars. But you found an IED, things that are loving EVERYWHERE in a combat deployment, so you know. All good

I'm a vet and I didn't want to hear about bergdahl from a combination of not wanting to hear the lurid details of the life of a braindead retard's faux navy seal bullshit and that it sounded like an immensely uninteresting case conveyed in the most boring way possible

And I'm the exact target demographic that should've eaten this poo poo up

maybe! most other vets i know really like military-related stuff, i usually can't handle it unless it's super super good like Generation Kill or something

this really wasn't, is my point
