Synopsis:
While patroling the desert in North Africa, Easy is attacked by enemy mortar fire. After they take out the mortar station, Sparrow gives thanks and says a prayer. Easy then circles around the area to avoid other enemy forces. When tanks attack, Sparrow says another prayer and a sandstorm rises to protect Easy. With the tanks blinded, Rock is able to lead his men against the tanks. Sparrow thanks the lord, and even the skeptical Wild Man admits that he is glad that Sparrow in on his side.
