It's then that Let.Flagler becomes suicidal and lets his and his men down by getting so depressed that that they can't relay on him with a major North Korean assault on his position is just about to materializer!
Up until then Let. Flagler could do nothing wrong in being focus on his mission to get his men together with a British tank crew back across enemy lines. So focused that her didn't even realize that US Army nurse Ann Galloway, Peggie Castle,was just crazy about him and his macho-like attitude towards war as well as everything else.
