Robin has tried to explain it. The negative thing about it is that its
commonly used for cases of absence _without permission_. Not just in a
military context. It's used when somebody ought not be away, and being
away would be considered a _breach of duty_.
Being "non-responsive" is not a good thing either, but its meaning
is less harsh.
