They worked under the names Gunner and Sarge, performing heroics in the Pacific theatre. they were later reassigned to Europe, where they were to train new recruits. Gunner and Sarge's recruits were all killed on their first patrol, and Gunner and Sarge were filled with regret and began to think of themselves as losers.
