Anderson, Goldman, and Captain Wallace are checking out a new weapon that has been added to the platoon’s arsenal: a flamethrower. Zeke and Goldman are unhappy that the next mission will also include a beautiful female reporter — Vicky Adams. Zeke fights against the woman’s urges to ””get the good stuff”” and his own men’s attempts to impress her — at the risk of their own lives. A prisoner is caught and tells the unit that they are surrounded by an NVA regiment. Wallace refusees to go back to safety, though, and a bad situation continues to get worse and worse.
