You have to have confidence your man will survive to send him to record it. I believe they cut the real explanation out of the film. | |

| Oct 14, 2014 at 13:54 | comment | added | Chaosed0 | Not sure if the first point applies; it seemed clear that the General was putting Cage into active combat, not for journalism. The second point was my thought as well, but I didn't find evidence anywhere to back it up. | |
