Although the military court found that Lieutenant Colonel Sellin was not responsible after investigation, he was very guilty and tried to explain the truth to Baldwin's parents.
Later, Lieutenant Colonel Sellin was transferred to the "Pentagon" Army Honors Division. His boss, Brigadier General Henschberg asked Lieutenant Colonel Sellin to investigate an incident in which a helicopter pilot rescued a trapped soldier in order to award him the highest medal of the United States "Congress Honor." medal". However, the testimonies of several rescued persons were not the same, and even contradicted each other. When the White House assistant handed over the materials to Lieutenant Colonel Sellin, he was surprised to find that the Army Captain Karen Valwho died in the rescue of the woundedturned out to be a woman. At this time, Washington Post reporter Gate is also closely following Lieutenant Colonel Sellin in an attempt to clarify the truth of Baldwin's death. Depressed, he decided to pursue the honor of a soldier at all costs
During the investigation of Captain Karen Val, Lieutenant Colonel Sellin found that the witnesses who were present at the time gave mixed testimony. The focus was on the M-16 rifle used by the helicopter to resist the attack of the Iraqi army after the helicopter fell. Lieutenant Colonel Sellin seized the doubt and pressed the sergeant Sergeant Mavris. Sergeant Mavris had nowhere to go, and drove his car into the train to commit suicide. The suicide of Sergeant Mafris made the military doctor Sergeant Ilario finally tell the truth. At that time, Sergeant Mavris wanted to surrender, and Captain Cullen insisted on fighting and forced Sergeant Mavris to surrender his weapons. In the chaotic battle, Sergeant Mafris wounded Captain Cullen. When the rescue team arrived, several people boarded the helicopter, but Sergeant Mafris left the injured Captain Karen on the ground. Subsequently, the incendiary bomb dropped by the bomber turned the entire position into a sea of flames.
At the White House's honour aid ceremony, the President personally put the "Congress Medal of Honor" on Captain Cullen's daughter. Lieutenant Colonel Selling made up his mind to come to Baldwin's house, told Baldwin's parents the truth, and admitted that he killed Baldwin by mistake. The two old men understood him, and Lieutenant Colonel Sellin burst into tears with gratitude.
