Combat was one of my favorites too, Glenn. Young as I was at the time, some of the episodes made a big impression on me. Such as one in which the squad was ordered to take a hill, and did so after an arduous, costly fight - only to be ordered to abandon it because Division's priorities changed. The searing scene was where members of the squad are atop the hill, were just ordered to leave, but call down to Sergeant Saunders something like "We ain't gonna come down off this hill!"
