Heard whispers before about a US "Klute" who could well turn out to be Lt Gen Cloutier, possibly stuck beneath the in the tunnels after the 2 failed extraction attempts.
Naughty naughty, having serving officers DS - ing whilst being part of NATO and not officially in the war per se.
If he is captured by the Russians (big "if"), he has no option. He is a foreigner in league with the enemy and therefore not covered by the Geneva convention. The Russians have already expressed their view that they can deal summarily with any mercenaries. (Blowing up a training camp full of them was a good idea of their position.) If he claims to be a serving officer, that implicates his government in an act of war. His best option is to sing like a canary in order to defer execution.

More than 2 extraction attempts:
2 helicopter attempt (4 or more copiers taken down)
2 ship attempts failed
1 ground infantry attempt with 200 soldiers plus armored vehicles etc. Failed.
Ahhh only heard about the heli extractions, thanks. Seems like someone wants people out of the place badly.
