Ghost Soldiers pt4

I read pages 150 to 200. General Lee utters the words he has been putting off, "Surrender." AS he handed over his Colt .45 that tucked to his side, he didn't know what was ahead of them, but he knew it wouldn't be good, there was no hope left of rescue. They had a treacherous stretch ahead of them hiking deeper and deeper into enemy territory. The chance of being rescued was a zero percent chance. With so many men sick, wounded, and exhausted the hike to their concentration camp would be devastating. It would soon be called the "Death March." So many miles to walk, with such an environment, having no reason to continue to march if you were an American Soldier because you were marching to your prison camp. Meanwhile, even though the troops that had surrendered thought there was no hope, there was a secret mission of rangers, with captain Mucci, as there leader. A short but scrappy man who took no guff, and wanted to go on a mission. He selected these rangers because they rangers more than anything wanted to go on a mission, and they were just about to get there chance.
