#soaps hero worship(?) admiration(??) of ghost goes so far that he doesn't even mind that ghost left him behind.

Live footage of us in a room together discussing every detail from mw2

you know how ghost left soap in las almas and saved himself to the church even though soap got shot (so you left me - i'm used to working alone)? hear me out. i don't think ghost knew johnny got shot.

you see, when graves shoots soap, ghost is behind the car stabbing shadows, he only sees soap (go johnny, get out of here!) once soap is already on the ground. then, when he checks in with johnny after reestablishing contact (thought we lost you), he does ask if soap is wounded (you injured?) meaning he wasn't sure, and johnny denies it either way (i'm not a medic - what's the difference - i'm good).

when soap takes the stim, ghost blames it on the situation not a gunshot wound (graves tried to kill us, would stand to reason if you were a little off), and he frequently alludes to keeping soap uninjured (tryin' to keep you alive and get you here in one piece), talking about soap getting injured as a hypothetical (keep your blood in, you will need every drop). and if ghost didn't know johnny got shot, that changes the dynamic of the whole escape.

because soap jokes about ghost abandoning him (so much for no man left behind), and ghost plays into it (i'm used to working alone.) but if ghost thought soap was uninjured albeit without a weapon (you will need to improvise to survive), do you think he went ahead to the church to save his own skin?

or was he trying to ensure that one of them survives by keeping them apart (one of us has to survive to live the tale), taking the chance on where they would search first (don't make me bet against you)?

and if so, who do you think he was trying to save by choosing to stay in one spot, in range of the unsecured comms (i got company in the church and they are not looking for forgiveness)? himself? or his seargant?

(i like you alive.)
