Synopsis:
After escaping a pit trap with the help of Lu Lin, Captain Hunter meets a group of Vietnamese children who live in a nearby village. Their parents were all murdered by the Viet Cong. The kids want Hunter to train them to fight. At first he refuses, but eventually the marine agrees to help them.
The kids show Hunter a cache of weapons hidden by the Viet Cong. The children arm themselves. When the Viet Cong return, Hunter helps them defend the village. Several of the children are killed in action, but they do so willingly by defending their homes. Eventually the attackers are defeated, and Hunter honors the brave children.
