It's not politicly correct, and the mods may chastise me for saying this, but I detest cowards. When you are in command you are the last one you should be worried about. Those under you are who deserve your immediate and devoted attention at all times. Especially in a crises. That captain was concerned only with his own safety. I hope he spends a long time in prison for desserting his post and those he was responsible for.
And you all thought Ol' Snake was warm and fuzzy, didn't you? I am most of the time.
