Line 114:
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]] - One of the Marines protests when Edwards is about to summarily execute their Russian prisoners. However, he and everyone else quickly accepts that they wouldn't have been able to take the Russians with them anyway and there was no way they could leave living witnesses.
** Under at least some interpretations of the Geneva Conventions that action was actually legal - if there is no possible way you can take prisoners without suicidally compromising your own safety, then you are not obligated to take any.
** Also, the Russians in question were not 'merely' prisoners but had been caught red-handed in the act of committing war crimes, specifically, murder and rape of civilians.
* [[World War Three]]
* [[Yanks With Tanks]] - All four major branches of the US military are involved in the war.
