Readers are invited to join in with a platoon during the Korean War. Peewee can't understand why Ed doesn't want his sergeant's rating. But Ed tells him why: he doesn't want the responsibilities associated with the rank and the fact that most sergeants in Korea are getting killed.

Blackie; un-named sergeant; Joe (death); un-named captain (death); the Japanese (villains, some die)
For 72 days before the invasion, Iwo Jima was continuously bombed and shelled, then the U.S. Marines came ashore, some expecting an easy go of it. It was anything but, and Joe decided, after a while, to just stay put "where it was safe," while the others headed for some caves where the Japanese had taken refuge.

The Japanese [Hayaku; Mataku Yare; Nomura; Nani Hanashiyagaru; others un-named] (villains, all die)
The Japanese take refuge in a cave, facing flame throwing tanks and other tactics designed by the Marines to box them in. Their leader reminds them that they will fight to the death, taking ten Americans each with them. A chance suddenly arises for the soldiers to escape, and for a while, it seems to work until the Americans run them back into the cave with no way out. The Japanese commander decides that each man will strap a grenade to himself and detonate it rather than surrender.

Union captain (death); three Union soldiers [aka the Three Musketeers] (one dies)
As Union forces go marching confidently out of Washington D.C., each soldier reminds himself that he has enlisted only for 3 months, and the war should be over within 60 days -- or so they think. The rebels have other ideas. Three Union soldiers become, in their minds, the Three Musketeers and vow to see the battle out together. Reality sets in once one of them falls; this will be a long war.

Geronimo and his band of renegades make forays into Mexico, where the Mexicans fight against the intrusion, but not too successfully. And the Americans along the Arizona border wonder just what can stop the Apache outlaws. Finally, Geronimo tires of running and surrenders, and months later, the once feared warrior is reduced to selling his picture and autograph at the World's Fair in St. Louis.
