Just listened to the first episode. It's very good and Bergdahl's narrative is fascinating. According to him, he had deep grievances with his battalion leadership, and decided to leave his combat outpost, run 20 miles back to FOB Sharana, thereby creating a Dust 1 (missing servicemember in theater), get everyone's attention that way, then use the debrief as an opportunity to blow the whistle on his chain of command.

I'm really looking forward to hearing the rest of the series, especially the exploration of the command culture at his unit.
