Fightin' Marines #70
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Welcome Back!" tells of a lone Marine, Tex Ludlon, who is left behind on an island occupied by 500 Japanese soldiers when his unit is forced to evacuate under heavy enemy fire. When a rescue operation volunteers to retrieve him, Ludlon must help guide the Marines through the burning island while Japanese forces close in, racing against explosives set to detonate in forty seconds. The issue also includes an educational feature titled "Marine Movements" detailing tactics for operations against guerrilla forces, covering harassment operations, reaction forces, and containment strategies.
When Sgt. Lionel Hooper—a reluctant clerk turned soldier—takes command of the 3rd Squad, a unit of cowards who've already bugged out once on Misery Ridge, he faces a choice: whip them into fighting shape or watch good Marines die covering their retreat. As the enemy launches a massive attack, Hooper and his "Chicken Squad" must finally decide whether to break and run again or stand their ground when it counts most.
When a young Marine's nerves nearly break in the Guadalcanal jungle, a grizzled veteran shows him that fear and courage aren't opposites—they're what you do when panic threatens to take over. "The Enemy" follows PFC Billy Trent as he learns the hardest lesson of combat: sometimes the real battle is the one happening inside your own head.
