[quote=Anonymous]I find this just as engaging as the last one.

It was fascinating and disturbing to hear today all the things that Bergdahl's fellow soldiers went through while they were looking for him.  I was so angry with Bergdahl - especially the part where the soldiers are entering people's houses and looking closely at the women (based on a theory that Bergdahl could be dressed in women's clothes) - so BB thinks he's going to fix what's wrong at his outpost but then the US soldiers are forced to act like repressive, invasive colonizing forces just to try to find his sorry ass.  There's also a larger question as to whether US forces were suitably trained and knowledgeable about Afghanistan in order to handle a search like this appropriately.

It's also fascinating to hear the notes from the Afghan reporter who interviewed the people who caught BB and to see the discrepancies between their story and BB's (eg, "we did a dance to cheer him up" vs.  "What dance?").  It also sounds like they were completely amazed at having caught this guy and that's kind of amusing.

I understand why people found the first season more compelling - because there's a murder mystery and we want to know who really did it.  But the mystery in this story is what really  happened and who's telling the truth.  So far Koenig is keeping up with her trademark style of investigating all the angles and sharing with us as much information as possible from different perspectives in order to try to understand what really happened.

I'm hooked.[/quote]
