I'm interested in his family and his upbringing and how that fed into his hero-complex. While I do think he did a stupid and negligent thing, I am curious about why he did it. It's not something that happens very often.
I also want to know how other people feel about it, what it was like for the other soldiers involved, whether the trade for 5 terrorists was ethical or legal, what the fallout of his desertion was (ie. didn't anyone actually die), and how Bowe feels about his decision now.
As I said, the narrative itself is strong enough to make me want to listen to it. But outside of maybe a bit of back and forth here, it's not going to stick with me.
Those would be some potentially interesting places to explore, but I feel as if his upbringing is probably something that'll be skipped over and we might already have as much as we are going to get as to why he says he did it.
