This Is War #7
"One Man for Himself" follows infantryman Don Easton, who possesses all the qualities needed for a good soldier except for a fatal flaw: his preference for taking the easy way out. During a fierce battle, Easton spots an enemy machine gun nest and alerts his unit to an ambush, demonstrating his combat abilities. However, after the battle, when ordered to report to command, he learns that an older soldier named Paisley wants him at the command post, leading to conflicting orders that force Easton to make a critical choice. The story culminates in a large-scale military operation involving tanks and infantry units, where Easton must confront whether he will finally choose the harder path for the sake of his unit.
