It further claims that the reason rescue missions were shelved was because the military did not want to risk the lives of special forces personnel trying to save a deserter.

If it is true that we had knowledge like this, should we have launched a rescue mission?

Six soldiers already lost their lives searching for him. Why put more lives in jeopardy rescuing a suspected deserter who obviously loathed the country he swore to serve?
