Staff Sergeant Robert Bales leaves his base–in the dead of the night–and lays siege to two villages, killing a reported sixteen innocent Afghan civilians.

  • Interesting... Though a bit vague & he said, she said, for my liking. & too many, long f'ing adverts..

    What he admitted to doing was shockingly appalling... But I think diminished capacity was definitely a factor.Too many tours.. being labeled a coward if u ask 4help with mental health, forced to take anti malaria drugs with known psychological side affects along with traumatic brain injuries ignored, make 4 a perfect shit storm..!!!

    PLUS a Govt ass covering as usual.

    It's a Hot Mess..!!

  • Pass

    This podcast series is nothing but an attempt at sympathy to have a mass murder released early. Robert Bales is exactly where he needs to be and should serve the remainder of his sentence.

  • Stopped halfway

    The podcast itself is great. Retell the story without hearing from Bales and I will listen. I am sympathetic to what our soldiers go through during deployment and service and my heart and prayers to them and their families.

    Bales is a different story .. I wish you wouldn’t have included his storytelling in the story. He is full of excuses and he had so many options besides what he chose to do that night. He put his fellow soldiers in a very dangerous and unforgivable position as well. I cannot ... more

  • Worthy material, with an eye roll

    The style is good. It’s cleanly edited with some music that spoon feeds you emotion but doesn’t mess with sound leveling. The presentation of material works like a proper journalistic presentation (pyramid, establish basics, add context, add nuance, describe details and spin off topics). Awesome. Too many unanchored podcasts with full funding these days.

    But.

    The podcast perhaps shows a little too much grace to the convict. For the malaria thing…too much for two episodes. I let it slide when... more
