Yes, that's true, and Roper's death is a bit of an easy ending
really. What would have happened if he'd survived? A Court
Martial, I imagine.  

But I find it most unsatisfactory that Roper is sent out to deal
with an incoming UFO on his own - he's under tremendous stress
and not in particularly good shape. I think that SHADO would
have deployed several of their fittest and finest shoulder-launched
missile marksmen!
