The story

In 1969, a platoon of the 3rd Battalion, 187th Infantry, 101st Airborne Division, receives five inexperienced replacements: Privates Beletsky, "Alphabet" Languilli, Washburn, Bienstock and Galvan.

The platoon's specialists include the machine gun team of Duffy and Gaigin, along with African-American veterans Motown, "Doc" Johnson and Sergeant McDaniel who share experiences of racial discrimination in the army.

Doc blames Frantz for not getting the short-timer McDaniel a less dangerous assignment.
