[quote=Anonymous]Just listened to episode 3 about the first part of Bergdahl's captivity.  He tried to escape right away and paid dearly for the effort.  His captors kept him chained spread eagled to a bed for three months, only getting up to go to the bathroom twice a day.  Despite the punishment for his first effort, he tried to escape later and is recaptured after 9 days - which is where the episode ends.

Interesting discussion of the code of conduct and what the army expects soldiers to do if they are captured.  Apparently the last time a soldier escaped captivity successfully was during the Vietnam War so the military doesn't really penalize people for not trying to escape.

Also, Bergdahl tried to memorize a lot of details about his captors which he shared with his debriefers upon his return.

Anyway, I think what the guy initially tried to do was stupid and self-centered - I resent the burden it put upon his fellow soldiers - but people should listen to what happened while he was in captivity and how he managed it. He's not a traitor by any means. [/quote]
