SFC Switalski finds himself in every Platoon Sergeant's nightmare: he is consolidating his platoon on the objective and finds that he has two men missing. Do to the Platoon operating in two sections (controlled separately by the PL and PSG,) SFC Switalski's Platoon Leader calls in a '100%' report on his men that appears to be for the entire Platoon. After counting his section, SFC Switalski realizes he is missing two men. He makes the decision to immediately correct the false report to higher and not try and cover up the false report or find the guys quickly on his own.
