As struwwelpeter said - they found his *passport* !?? I didn't know our troops went into battle with passports. Or, for that matter, stroll around with a spare uniform to get "captured". This guy's dirty, and needs a nice extended stay at army's club fed.
I took my passport [both New Zealand and American] as well as $1000 cash with me whenever i went on patrol. If we had to E&E the money would be helpful...and you never know when your passport comes in handy, now i am not suggesting what he did was right or logical....i am only saying it is not as unreasonable as people are making it out to take money or travel documents with you, me and the 3 others guys in my team did it.
