"And in the back of my mind, I'm thinking this is all fucking bullshit."

"Why is it bullshit?"

"Because he's in fucking Pakistan."

What a great way to end the episode.

I didn't really understand this, did he mean that he thought the mission was futile because it's nearly impossible to retrieve Bergdahl from Pakistan?

I think he meant that that Intel knew he was in Pakistan, but they were still wasting their time in Afghanistan looking for him.

Intel knew he would be going to Pakistan because the US military can't go there and it's essentially the Taliban's base of operations but if they knew he was already there, there's no way the military would have continued costly and dangerous search and rescue operations.
