Synopsis:
Easy Company receives a new replacement, Crusher Cole, a big soldier that intends to take Rock's stripes. Sgt. Rock wants Crusher to earn the stripes, but the rest of Easy isn't convinced that the new soldier is good enough. Crusher proves himself in combat, but Easy doesn't embrace his ambition. When a tank attacks, Crusher goes after it with a bazooka, but he is gunned down by enemy fire. Rock helps the soldier pull the trigger and destroy the tank. Crusher dies, but Rock thinks the soldier has earned the stripes he sought.
