A US soldier, Gordon Black, did something very wrong and went to Russia with a Russian woman, even though he wasn't allowed to. He got in trouble with the Russian police and had to go to court. The US Army stopped giving him money and other benefits because he did something bad. When he comes back to the US, he will also be in trouble here and will have to face consequences for his actions. This is similar to another US soldier, Travis King, who went to North Korea and had to face consequences when he came back. Read from source...
