☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe issue contains military war stories centered on soldiers in combat situations. "It Takes a Man" follows a young lieutenant leading a patrol through enemy territory in Korea, where he must assert his authority and make tactical decisions under fire, ultimately earning the respect of his experienced sergeant. Another story, "What Are Soldiers?", depicts soldiers enduring intense artillery bombardment on a beach, reflecting on the nature of their duty and sacrifice as they take shelter from the continuous shelling.
A soldier pinned down by machine-gun fire at the Siegfried Line, a sailor braving freezing waters to free trapped airmen from a damaged patrol bomber, a pilot who sacrifices everything to slow an advancing Nazi column, and a Marine who breaks through a deadly seawall at Guadalcanal—four men, four branches of service, each answering the call when the moment demands it. "These Men Are Called…" follows these fighting men through their moments of desperate choice, showing what separates ordinary service from extraordinary courage.
Young Marine Tom Winston heads into his first taste of combat during an island invasion, while veteran Len Ward watches from the same landing craft—each believing the other one is the lucky one. As the battle unfolds across the beach with all its chaos and terror, the story cuts between Tom's wide-eyed inexperience and Len's haunting memories of what's really waiting for them in those fortified bunkers. It's a gritty portrait of what combat actually feels like, told through the contrasting perspectives of a man who doesn't yet know the cost and one who knows it all too well.
In the sands of Tarawa, a group of young soldiers—boys thrust into manhood by combat—grapple with the weight of war while clinging to memories of home. "What Are Soldiers?" follows these infantry GIs as they face enemy fire, make impossible choices in the heat of battle, and discover that courage, compassion, and faith are what truly define those who wear the uniform. Through their eyes, we glimpse not heroes or cowards, but ordinary men learning what it means to survive, to sacrifice, and to endure.
