Last week, former Taliban POW Bowe Bergdahl broke his media silence about his reasons for abandoning his Army unit by way of the popular Serial podcast. And just a few days later, the Army made the decision to try Bergdahl for desertion and misbehavior before the enemy via a general court martial — not the lower-level tribunal that had been recommended in the military's version of a preliminary hearing. Eric Montalvo is a former Marine Corps lawyer who spent 21 years as both a military prosecutor and defense attorney. He now works for the firm Federal Practice Group. In this week's Legal Loop, he talks to Jared Serbu on Federal Drive with Tom Temin about the latest developments in the Bergdahl case, including the Army's sudden decision to try the matter in a general court martial, not a special court martial.

But Urrutia-Varhall said that particular distinction wasn't something she paid much attention to over the last 30 years. In a recent appearance on Federal News Radio’s Women of Washington, Urritia-Varhall talked about her career and why many women in the military opt-out of career paths that could lead to high-ranking jobs like the one she holds now.
