 According to transcripts  

 # Cartman was already rescued after Butters pleaded to the military, though the military still regarded him as a robot having "consciousness".  So in the end he got his identity revealed by Butters but that's not a rescue. 
 # Butters also invited the movie producers to the tape release. 
 # The officer telling Cartman "you're a little faggot" is a general.
