- Quotes
Noah: Here that whole family of five lived off that postage stamp. They sure cared for the soil.
Sgt. Saunders: You haven't been up here long.
Noah: So?
Sgt. Saunders: In a uniform you fight in dirt, you sleep in it and you eat it. But you don't hold it in your hand that way. Land is to be taken, passed over and forgotten.

Private War
When Lt. Hanley orders Sgt. Saunders to evacuate a family of farmers from their land, Pvt. Noah from Iowa fells uncomfortable with the situation. While the squad is resting, Noah plants the crop and looks for the missing cow and the calf and brings to the farm. Then they are assigned to capture a German prisoner and Lt. Hanley learns that the Germans will attack the spot. The squad needs to leave the farm to protect the area but out of the blue Saunders finds that Noah is missing helping the calf that is separate from the mother. However he is surprised by a German patrol putting in danger his squad.
"The Farmer" is another humanist story of "Combat!" with the dramatic behavior of a farmer from Iowa forced to fight in the war but does not understand its meaning. The result is predictable and corny. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "O Fazendeiro" ("The Farmer")
