The Dirty Dozen was a good movie for guys in the 1970s. Times the dozen by 4 and a few more. House them in intolerable conditions that even civilian prisoners would not be subjected to, then offer them a way out via a tour in Afghanistan or Iraq. Forget that a bunch of the AWOLs went AWOL becuase they could not handle the stress any more or get proper treatment for PTSD - they just have to fill lsots in Afghanistan.

Forget Dirty Dozen - this is Who's in Charge 7 1/2.

For soldiers who have gone AWOL (Absent Without Leave) and then voluntarily turned themselves in or were forcibly returned, the detention conditions here in Echo Platoon only serve to reinforce the inescapability of their situation.  They remain suspended in a legal limbo of forced uncertainty that can extend from several months to a year or more, while the military takes its time deciding their fate.  Some of them, however, are offered a free pass out of this military half-life -- but only if they agree to deploy to Afghanistan or Iraq.
