Description

In the middle of the night, Pfc. Bowe Bergdahl grabs a notebook, snacks, water, some cash. Then he quietly slips off a remote U.S. Army outpost in eastern Afghanistan and into the dark, open desert. About 20 minutes later, it occurs to him: he’s in over his head.

As a vet I really struggle with the dismissive way everyone talks about the new season. I can see the parallel between this and season 1. A story about a sexy potential killer, that's awesome a discussion including the circumstances our troops are housed within "man this is so boring, I'm out! " Just seems to be a theme to me...

really enjoyed the first season, can't make it past the first episode of this one. you immediately took the side and a sympathetic view torwards bowe. meanwhile to me he sounds like a safe space hipster....."in my personal opinion this is wrong so I'll break every agreement I've made because my beliefs are right and more important than everyone else's" seemed to be his excuse. should have landed that black hawk, put a bullet in his and all the talibans heads and took off laughing.

I suppose the army is a big thing in the US but as a European I could not relate to this story that much. So leaving your post is a terrible thing it seems. I don't know. Boring season 2...
