Behind Enemy Lines By Bill Doyle

Behind Enemy Lines Under Fire In The Middle East by Bill Doyle talks about brave soldiers who served or serve in the U.S Military. In one chapter a U.S soldier named Marcus is badly injured in a explosion and has been hiding from the Taliban for a entire day. Then out of nowhere Afghans show up. Marcus thing that they were going to turn him over to the Taliban. But instead they take him to a near by village to be taken care of.All of a sudden Taliban soldiers busted into the house that he was staying at. But a villager comes in to settle things and not having the Taliban to take him. For days Marcus is at the village being protected by the villagers. U.S forces then come to the village to take him back to his base.                                                                  

I was strange to me was that enemies helping out and injured enemy. I was thinking that Marcus was going to be killed instead of being helped by the Afghans. Sometimes it doesn't matter if two countries are in a war. But, doesn't mean you can't still help each other.

  1. I really liked how you related your post to a common cause. It can really make you think about how we are all human and should help each other.
