Fightin' Army #66

A sharpshooter volunteering for sniper duty in France, 1944, finds himself paralyzed by conscience when he glimpses the humanity in his first target through a rifle scope—and his hesitation comes back to haunt him when he encounters that same officer again under brutal circumstances. As Clark struggles between his nature and the brutal calculus of war, he's forced to confront whether mercy on the battlefield is a virtue or a fatal mistake. This story explores the moral cost of combat in ways that go far deeper than a simple shot.

Sergeant Jones carries childhood lessons about standing up to bullies into his adult service as a Special Forces adviser in Vietnam, where he trains village militia and confronts Viet Cong terrorists who prey on the innocent. When the VC strike hard at a village he's helped defend, Jones takes the fight to them with everything he's got, determined to drive out the guerrillas who've been terrorizing the people. It's personal for a man who's spent his whole life hating bullies—and now he's facing them on a much bigger battlefield.

General Mike Tanner, a combat officer turned brigadier general, chafes under orders to stay behind the lines during the Korean War—but when a Chinese division threatens Hambone Hill, he can't resist taking matters into his own hands. Leading a volunteer patrol with his old battlefield instincts, Tanner orchestrates a daring nighttime ambush to cut off enemy supply lines and inflict heavy casualties on the advancing forces. By dawn, he's back in camp with a clean uniform and a convenient alibi, leaving his superiors to puzzle over who really stopped the Chinese advance.

When General Rommel's Africa Korps swept across North Africa in 1941, one fortress stood in his way: Tobruk, held by the tough Australian 9th Division, the "Rats of Tobruk." Through relentless attacks, bombing campaigns, and over fourteen hundred assaults in just fifty-two days, Rommel's forces couldn't break the Australian line—and their refusal to surrender became a linchpin of Britain's desert strategy. When the counteroffensive finally came, these determined fighters would prove that holding the line mattered just as much as any grand advance.
