This Is War #5

A sergeant with failing eyesight is deemed unfit for combat duty and assigned to desk work, but when his unit desperately needs every able fighter to hold the line against a fierce assault, he sees his chance to prove that a soldier's heart matters more than his eyes. Leading a dangerous night patrol to knock out enemy artillery, Sergeant Sheppard demonstrates the true meaning of sacrifice on the Korean front.

A confirmed gambler with a talent for reading the odds, Evans joins his platoon for the invasion of Inchon—but his cocky attitude and sleazy card tricks have made him the most hated man in the unit. When the squad gets trapped behind enemy lines with no clear path to safety, Evans must finally put his "percentage play" philosophy to the ultimate test, using nothing but nerve and a deck of cards to determine who faces a suicide mission. Based on what unfolds in the farmhouse and on that cliff, you'll see whether luck—or something darker—has been on his side all along.

During the Korean War, a British platoon holding a ridge witnesses a mysterious woman in black leading a Chinese assault through a minefield, seemingly invulnerable to the chaos around her. As prisoners are recaptured and the fighting ebbs, the enigmatic figure vanishes as mysteriously as she appeared—leaving soldiers to wonder if they'll ever encounter her again on another battlefield.

Sergeant Milt Dawes writes off Pvt. Willie Vanley the moment the bookish replacement arrives at the Korean front with a pack of Roman history texts instead of soldier's kit—but when enemy ambushes strand a patrol and Willie spots an enemy ammunition convoy, his unorthodox knowledge becomes the platoon's unexpected advantage. In a pinch, Vanley channels ancient military tactics to turn the tide and prove that there's always a way to win, no matter how outnumbered or outgunned.

When Eddie Schaffer ships out to Korea with blood on his mind, he's ready to kill—until the brutality of combat shows him that saving lives might matter just as much. After witnessing the medics in action and struggling with the cost of violence, Schaffer makes a choice that surprises his hardened sergeant: he requests medical training to become a combat medic himself. Back on the front lines with a medical kit instead of a rifle, Schaffer discovers a different kind of courage as he moves through battle to tend the wounded.
