soldier-turned-journalist Nathan Bradley Bethea details his experience as part of the extensive search-and-rescue effort the US military conducted after Sgt Bergdahls disappearance - and its cost. Bergdahl was a deserter, he writes, and soldiers from his own unit died trying to track him down. He says that the US conducted daily search missions for Sgt Berdgahl across the entire Afghanistan theatre of operations: It was hard, dirty and dangerous work. The searches enraged the local civilian population and derailed the counterinsurgency operations taking place at the time. At every juncture I remember the soldiers involved asking why we were burning so much gasoline trying to find a guy who had abandoned his unit in the first place. The war was already absurd and quixotic, but the hunt for Bergdahl was even more infuriating because it was all the result of some kid doing something unnecessary by his own volition. _NB Bethea
