This Twilight Zone episode concerns the Phillipine campaign of 1945 and the
experiences of one lieutenant. Our protagonist is William Reynolds who after
a tough mission in which he lost four men trying to cross a bridge in Luzon.
The problem is that Reynolds said that he saw in their faces before the battle that these four men were the ones that were not coming back. So he confides to Dick York his immediate CO and friend. York says he's definitely suffering battle fatigue and recommends hospitalization.
Which Reynolds rejects but some other strange things occur and maybe Reynolds might not be so crazy.
This is a nicely done Twilight Zone story with the realism of combat blended nicely with the murkiness of the unknown. The ending is something you probably thought was going to be what it is. Still doesn't detract from the overall quality of the episode.
Others to note here are Warren Oates as jeep driver and Barney Phillips as an army doctor.
