There's a bug in the game (at least that's how I call it) so that any soldier who's mind-controlled during the last turn will be lost, regardless of whether you win or lose. And somtimes there's no way around it, because if you don't kill the mind-controlling alien it keeps controlling your man every turn, and if you do then you win the battle, it's over and you lose your man. :angry:

Its a feature, not a bug. While the MIA does lower your score, he will never attempt to kill his squadmates, again. It always annoyed me when I forgot which trooper was the putty-brained goober who nearly killed many of my stronger willed troops. Having him never return to the transport solved the problem sacking the right person. Often, if the MC'd trooper was too able to inflict casualties, he was shot by anyone close at hand. The MC'd troopers who were not summarily executed were ones that had previously panicked and dropped their weapons. Leaving them to wander around kept the psi-capable aliens from worse mischief.
