He's a loser, but ever since that little rat Garwood in Viet Nam, the government pretends that anyone taken prisoner is a first-class soldier and they even get promoted on schedule while in captivity (Like this bozo did), no matter how much their plight was their own damned fault even if you are a complete dumbshit AWOL (like here)/sneak off to screw in the cab of a trans truck she and her boyfriend misappropriated (Gulf I)/make the patrol you're leading go up a mountain in Serbian territory so you can try to make a personal cell phone call to wifey-poo (OJE). Accountability for your own misconduct just doesn't happen anymore, if you are taken prisoner and survive the experience.
