Release from captivity by the One Eyed Drunk Indian

It is always a happy ending when someone is released from captivity, especially if your captor is a one eyed drunk Indian. Imagine the "street cred" that goes along with not only being captured but also released by a one eyed drunk Indian. I know all of you are thinking WTF?

Here is a recap to put things into context:

A short time before my arrival at my current unit we had a high performer who allegedly liked to visit "Chinese restaurants" during our last deployment. These are not your normal restaurants. At these restaurants, the waitresses wear birthday suits and there are dancers who, if in the U.S., would probably freely exercise their 1st Amendment right to express themselves. One is also likely to be able to get a back rub with a very happy ending after they are through eating. Anyway our stellar performer patronized said establishment, which our chain of command did not like too much. As a result of these visits, the higher performer and his friend both were facing trouble. His friend had a board and was eventually separated (e.g. fired) from the Army. The high performer, seeing the hand writing on the wall faced a similar fate. After he saw the hand writing he went AWOL (military speak for walking off the job). For about a year he was on the run and one day figured it was a bad idea to try to run from the Army. He called back to the unit really wanting and wishing to turn himself in but could not. He relayed to us that when he was on the run he got in with some bad people and made poor choices ( I am paraphrasing here) and ended up with a drug debt to a One Eyed Drunk Indian. Unless he ponied up cash for his debt he could not leave.

Fast forward two more years to about a couple of weeks ago. The high performer shows back up in North Carolina, wanting to turn himself. Apparently the One Eyed Indian finally released him. It is always a good day when a hostage is released, especially if the captor only has one eye.
