Sergeant Eric Bourquin had a lousy youth in a poor, dysfunctional Texas small town family, feeling close and relatively safe only with kid brother Danny, bullied at school despite talent until he dropped out and left home to join the army, seeing no future in civilian life. He's now the respected medic -a tower of strength- in badly injured lieutenant Shane Aguero's desperately surrounded red platoon, which runs out of ammunition while incurring bullet wounds and casualties, so their extraction becomes urgent, yet even signaling their position may be hopeless. Meanwhile Jassim translates fellow Shiite Alim's horrible story of arbitrary abuse under Saddam and devout vow never to take armed revenge. Finally the rescue helicopters approach.
