Plot: As informal punishment for an unwitting affair with admiral Gregory Maitland's adulterous wife, Sam Axe, the a USNavy Commander, was sent to Colombia to observe the suspected rebel movement Espada Ardiente ('Burning Sword'). Now he's under investigation for allegedly consorting with those alleged terrorists. He explains how he discovered that his Colombian army liaison comandante Veracruz was the real drug dealers cahoot, who palled on framing Axe and presumably innocent farmers for the bombing of an American-run Andes clinic. Sam escaped and tried to help the civilians, even forces CIA observers to demand urgent help. He even found a trump card to avoid conviction for his illegal methods and a favorable discharge.

Quotes:
Sam Axe: You feel like advising an old buddy with a sticky situation?::Michael Westen: How sticky?::Sam Axe: Sticky like let's get a table and a few more rounds.
Sam Axe: I believe this form of extortion is known as graymail. It's much nicer than blackmail.
Sam Axe: [after throwing a chainsaw at a group of attackers] Now that's groovy!
Adm. Gregory Maitland: You were in my house, in bed with my wife! And don't even try to deny it, 'cause I found your belt. This look familiar? I talked to Donna, and she told me everything.::Sam Axe: Admiral, I was unaware, sir, that she was your significant other.::Adm. Gregory Maitland: You were unaware? You're a Navy SEAL! You're trained in battlefield awareness, and you didn't see my name on the mailbox?::Sam Axe: Well, sir, I wasn't exactly in that frame of mind, sir. As you can imagine, sir, I was otherwise occupied, sir. I'll stop talking now, sir.
Rawlins: [Sam is wearing bright blue fatigues] You do know most of Colombia's green, right?::Sam Axe: Yeah, I don't think the guy who issued them wanted me to blend in.
