I have no doubt that he gave them what he knew. I'm guessing the most he knew were Company SOPs, lay out of the COP, and his limited knowledge on battle drills and weapons. The TB gain much more information about that just looking up the Ranger Handbook online. I highly doubt he knows too much about explosives and anything advanced, and hell I bet he couldn't even teach them how to plot a point.


They might have mined him for a week or two, but hell, the TB are smart - you know that. SOP's were changed instantly, and the TB would have known that, too. Guard rotations were staggered and changed, etc, etc. If they didn't already know the lay-out and weapon systems of the COP just from casual observation, then the TB were less competent than I would guess. I bet they probably viewed him as little more than a lost puppy. They probably viewed him much as the 1-501 guys did - just a pathetic and gutless loser.

Agreed. They just passed him around as a sex slave and kept him hoping to one day pull off a deal like the one that just happened.

ETA: All this talk about "Not leaving a man behind" is kinda crap. If his platoon would have found him, then no one would have ever heard of him. As an Infantryman you know the consequences of leaving your battle buddies.
