Im sorry but if I was there, and he was doing crap like that, and costing the lives of other prisoners, I would of killed him myself!
he cost all those young boys their lives.
everyone knew he was going to try and do a suicide mission, and no one stopped him, no one gave him a beating for rating on dusty and Yankee
this guy was just going around thinking he was the king dingaling!

sorry, but no way, he would of got smashed already by the other prisoners the stupid tosser.

My 10p.

Despite the situation they were in they were still soldiers and had enough self-discipline to stand with him as the most senior officer left. They may also have agreed with him even if they didn't feel they could do anything about it - after all they witnessed the murder of their colonel and were victims of the atrocities too.

I think that - despite their disagreeing with Major Campbell's plans - the other prisoners somehow understood what he was doing and why. After all, they were all soldiers, and all of them must have had revenge on their minds at some point.

Furthermore it was stated that Major Campbell was a "true leader". I think that in spite of everything he was a superior officer and thus respected as such. No one really dared to go against him until the very end when Ernie stops him from torturing Ito.

Even allowing for his state of mind as a prisoner, he was rather impulsive and did and said many things that a more thoughtful person - certainly an officer - should not have done. Not a man who thought things through taking into account the situation he was in.
