they know to get them out of there...even if they never thought of "Court Martial."

It's what happens when Soldiers realize they are fighting for NOTHING but their OWN SURVIVAL and know the "Folks at Home" will just laugh at them throwing up a burned foot or arm in front of a Camera ...and Laughing hysterically at it.
