Corrected entry: Giovanni Ribisi could not have known about Secret 8 and therefore should not have drawn that figure eight onto the Capt.'s hand.

Corrected entry: Why would the arrested/rescued SGT write the figure 8 onto the piece of paper. This made no sense as he is part of that group and wouldn't want to draw attention to that group or even blow his cover.
Correction: The group has a reputation as drug dealers that is somewhat known in the area. Writing the "8" was done in order to signify that drugs are involved. On top of that, he requested a ranger. Since Tom Hardy is a former ranger, a current DEA Agent, and world-class interrogator, it all made him the prime candidate to be called into the situation. So in short, it was done to get Hardy onto the base to flush out the drug dealers.
Correction: Ribisi's character works for the Colonel who shows that he knows who Section 8 is, therefore Ribisi's character could have been told about them by the Colonel.
