Synopsis:
Benjy, a new recruit, believes that Sgt. Rock has a stone-face and has never shown emotion. The rest of Easy Company sets him straight by telling tales of Rock's previous battles. Ice Cream Soldier explains that Rock showed fear when he was temporarily paralyzed and nearly drown on a beach. Flip-Coin tells Benjy that Rock showed anger when one of his men was gunned down by an enemy pillbox. Little Sure Shot explains that Rock was taken by surprise when a French resistance fighter fired on him because she thought he was a disguised German. Finally, Bulldozer explains that Rock showed sadness when a dog that followed Rock was killed by an enemy plane. The plane got away, but after the stories are told it returns. Rock shoots it down. Then he cries for the lost dog.
