Current Event 4 In 2009 Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl left his outpost which sent troops out looking for him, endangering them. He will have to face a court-martial, a judicial court for trying members of the armed services accused of offenses against military law. He is being charged for desertion and endangering of troops. His defense lawyers say that he does not deserve to be punished for it because no troops were killed specifically looking for him and it is partially the army?s fault for enlisting him knowing he had an ?adjustment disorder with depression.? On the other hand, Army prosecutor, Maj. Margaret Kurz, described how bad and tiring it was for the soldiers looking for him. She mentioned how they had barely enough food

    Personal Narrative: My Obstacles In The Army

    During my time in the Army, I have had plenty of obstacles, one in particular would be when I was a RTO (radio tech operator) and we were attached to another battalion to go raid a village.

Once we finally set up an OP (observation post) we had a team go out and recon the village and we established a plan on how we were going to attack the village. My squad only had about nine of us, so we were not initially part of the main element to go in and assault the village. However, as we started creeping up to the first obstacle, a fence, helicopters started patrolling for us again.…
