☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"The Best Platoon in Korea" depicts a unit of soldiers holding their ground against waves of Chinese Communist Forces (C.C.F.) during the Korean War. When a new commanding officer arrives to replace the previous C.O., the platoon must defend their position against enemy attacks while dealing with internal conflict, including tension between soldiers Hansen and Kendrick. The story concludes with the revelation that the war has ended and a ceasefire is in effect, eliminating the need for further combat.
A young lieutenant's platoon arrives at the Western Front during the First World War only to face a devastating combination of artillery, mud, and the terror of mustard gas—and when a German patrol attacks through the chemical haze, he must rally his terrified men to survive. Outnumbered and cut off from reinforcements, he makes a desperate decision to attack first, turning fear into fierce action before dawn breaks over the trenches. This raw, unflinching account captures what separates survival from heroism when a soldier discovers courage he didn't know he possessed.
Cpl. Kendrick is a sharpshooter with a reputation—and a conscience—who's ordered to take out Marshal Von Korbach, a Nazi general directing Germany's final defense from a fortified castle. When his reluctant spotter Hansen pushes him to take the shot, an unexpected message arrives that changes everything. A tense six-page story about duty, morality, and the moment when war itself stops.
When a wounded corporal refuses the chance to go home and instead returns to his beloved 1st Platoon in Korea, he finds a shocking reality waiting for him—the outfit that once stood as the finest in the theater has been decimated and rebuilt with new soldiers and a new command. Struggling to come to terms with how much his unit has changed, the corporal must find his place among these unfamiliar faces as the enemy closes in once again.
In "The Best Platoon in Korea," wounded soldier Deke returns to his unit only to find his closest comrades fallen in battle. Left to carry on, he must guide a group of inexperienced replacements through the brutal realities of war, teaching them not just how to survive, but how to stand together when the odds are stacked against them.
