Season 2
- In episode 2, there's something grimly humorous about the Taliban's Culture Clash while holding Bowe Bergdahl. While the situation is very scary for Bergdahl, the Taliban are trying to figure out if he's drunk but are having a tough time since 1) They've never seen a drunk person before 2) and they assume all Westerners are drunk all the time.
- Similarly, at one point somebody compares the blue-eyed Bergdahl to a newborn kitten, sounding both disgusted by his helplessness and bewildered by the sheer weirdness of his appearance and behavior. It's not a flattering comparison by any means, but in the midst of such a grim narrative it can still take a listener by surprise.
