General Taylor tells Dickerson, “look, I caught his show on the Isle of Crete, and this guy is funny. I damn near busted a gut laughin’ at him. And the troops, they love him.” While Dickerson is not amused, General Taylor has the troops’ morale in mind. When Adrian butts heads with superiors and gets himself suspended, General Taylor does his best to defend his case and get him back on the air. It’s nice to have someone on Adrian’s team, win or lose.
