Ghost Soliers pt5

I have read pages 200 to 250 this week. Colonel Mucci, was put in charge of this special opps mission for the rangers. Mucci and a ranger named Prince were in control of leading the mission, slipping behind enemy lines in the Philippines. They had to march 30 rugged miles to rescue 513 prisoners captured and stuck in a wretched camp. Among these POW's are the last survivors of the infamous Bataan Death March. This mission to rescue these prisoners had to completely secretive. Due to several recent massive massacres by the Japanese soldiers. The US troops couldn't let a hint of their coming because the Japanese would quickly kill the POW's and the mission as well as their lives would be at increased danger. As they began their trek, many of the men were very excited and anxious to do their duty. The stakes were incredibly high, a lot of the men weren't worried about getting there, they were worried about getting home with hopefully 513 POW's, but wounded, weak, and fatigued POW's at that. The men that went in were ready to die to save these men and that means alot. Those soldiers were brave and that makes our military great.
