Fightin' Marines #77
The issue features two military action stories. The first, "Bug-Out," follows Captain Silensky and his men as they spring a trap on the enemy, with Private Moore calling for cover. After the Marines engage the Charlies in combat, the squad is rescued by helicopter, and Silensky apologizes to Lieutenant Cleeves for the chaos, accepting responsibility for his men's conduct. The second story, set in October 1960 on the Korean peninsula, depicts Chinese armies marching night after night toward dispersal orders at dawn, while Captain Silensky and Becker lead their men through the jungle with orders to stay alert, using silent combat methods including karate against the Viet Cong.
