Lt. Curtis Rivers (Creator/MontelWilliams) is considered for the Medal of Honor for rescuing Undersecretary of State Lawrence Culbertson (Creator/GregoryItzin) from a very dangerous situation, but his subordinates say he was reckless.

Culbertson is very grateful to Rivers. Chief Petty Officer Wilkins (Creator/GuyGarner) has a markedly different opinion. Rivers allegedly abandoned Petty Officer Douglas (Creator/TicoWells) in order to rescue Culbertson, a gross violation of the SEAL code.

reckless.

Culbertson is very grateful to Rivers. Chief Petty Officer Wilkins (Creator/GuyGarner) has a markedly different opinion. Rivers allegedly abandoned Petty Officer Douglas (Creator/TicoWells) in order to rescue Culbertson, a gross violation of the SEAL code.

Lt. Commander Rabb and Major [=MacKenzie=] are sent to investigate. Mac quickly gets fed up with Rivers's insubordination and unwillingness to cooperate with the investigation. The only way Rabb gets through to Rivers is in a fistfight.

When Rabb finally hears Rivers tell his side of the story, Rabb doubts that Douglas was unconscious when Rivers left him alone. In fact, Douglas, bitter that he lost a leg and Rivers is being considered for a medal, pretended to be unconscious when the other [=SEALs=] found him.
