Moving inland toward St. Mere Eglise from Utah Beach via Azeville, 2nd Platoon stops for the night near the outskirts. The 8th Regiment was getting pretty spread out and orders came through to sit tight and relieve the airborne tomorrow.
Tensions within the platoon are just as high as the previous day. What had happened to Corporal Punishment has just made everyone start a new round of recriminations, trying to find who had blamed the Corporal in the first place, and who had supported the accusation, and the various whys and wherefores. The bickering continues even after dark and after men are put on sentry duty. Eventually the 1st Lieutenant orders everyone to shut up and get some sleep, but he hasn't really defused the situation.
During the night a large portion of the platoon agrees that they saw Private Lieutenant General throw the grenade that killed the popular and respected Private Property. Deciding the 1st Lieutenant isn't going to help them, the men take matters into their own hands. It's only after they have beaten Private Lieutenant General to a pulp and broken all his limbs that the 1st Lieutenant wakes up and stops them. As Private Lieutenant General is shipped back to the beach on a stretcher the Lieutenant asks in exasperation how they could think the man a coward when he doggedly maintained his innocence through his broken teeth.
During the night one of the soldiers gets up and disappears into a hedge to urinate. As he makes his way back to the platoon, one the sentries, cracking under the strain, simultaneously challenges Eternaly_Lost and opens fire at him without waiting for the reply. The wounded Eternaly_Lost is in very poor shape and as the stretcher bearers are already busy taking Private Lieutenant General to the beach, he dies before he can make it to the field hospital. Eternaly_Lost dies with his rifle in his hands, loaded, cocked, and with the safety on. He didn't even let go of it when he was shot, let alone when he went to urinate. He truly was a well disciplined soldier.
Things just aren't getting any better for 2nd Platoon.
