The fight started well. Captain Johnson retreated to the back of the pack, probably trying to save himself, and with him at the back, the soldiers were disorganized. A lot of men went down. Some Wisconsonians, but mostly Koreans. Redneck Jim was doing great. Then Bob remembered, "Redneck Jim is the captain! We can't let him die!" "Jim, go to the back. You can't die now. Not yet." Jim looked at Bob and said, "I didn't come this far to retreat when my men need me." Bob smiled and kept fighting. A lot more men went down, but after fifteen minutes, the Koreans were gone, and the Wisconsonians still had about half of their men- 6,000 had survived! Bob, Redneck Jim, and No-Leg Timmy were three of the survivors. "If they're all gone- Captain Johnson died!" Redneck Jim said into the megaphone. The soldiers cheered. Then Bob picked up the megaphone and said, "Let's go kill a president!"
