Boyington led 24 fighters in an attempt to disrupt Japanese shipping, devastate shore installations and enemy aerial forces. His Medal of Honor citation credits him with 26 downed Japanese planes, some report only 22. Boyington had served in the Marines prior to the war, but resigned to join Chennault's "Flying Tigers" in China. While there, he shot down 6 Japanese craft, however, a difference of opinion caused him to leave the Tigers with a dishonorable discharge. He re-enlisted in the Marine Corps after Pearl Harbor with difficulty due to his reputation as a undisciplined brawler. He was assigned a squadron of pilots who would become known as the "Black Sheep" partly because they were scrapped together by Boyington and didn't go through formal unit training in the US. They gave him the name Pappy, due to his age and the way he looked after them. His squadron shot down a confirmed 97 Japanese aircraft, 35 probable, 50 damaged, 21 destroyed on the ground. Pappy was shot down and thought dead, hence his Medal of Honor being awarded at the time "posthumously." He spent 20 months in a POW camp.

Doss, due to religious beliefs, refused to kill or even carry a weapon. He had voluntarily enlisted so as to serve his country, and remained though mocked and nearly given a Section eight. Doss was a medic, braving enemy fire to help the wounded, friendly or enemy, soldiers. On May 5, the Japanese made a fierce counter-attack which forced the troop back to the top of a cliff. Those not wounded had retreated down the cliff. Doss remained at the top, and for five hours, prayed and lowered wounded down to relative safety. The official number saved is 75, however, some assert it was 100 and Doss claims 50. On May 21st, Doss stepped on an enemy grenade and was severely wounded, though he didn't lose his leg. When the medics were taking him from the field, they passed another critically wounded soldier. Doss rolled off the litter and told the medics to take the other man. He then joined another wounded soldier and began hobbling off the field. Doss was shot in the arm he had around the other man's neck- it shattered his arm, but saved the other man's life. When he discovered his bible missing, he sent word back, and asked if they would keep an eye open for it. The battalion scoured the until it was found and mailed it back to Doss.

When they arrived, they found his two and wife dead by bludgeoning and stabbing. Jeffrey, wounded and with a collapsed lung, told the MPs three men and a woman had committed the crime. The investigator in charge believed MacDonald was solely behind the attack, even with evidence of multiple individuals. When the poor investigation was brought to light in the trial, the case against MacDonald was dismissed, though not forgotten. 1975, the now well respected doctor was indicted through rather hazy means. Evidence was held back from the defense team and restrictions placed on its handling and testing. Two individuals even came forward about their presence at murder, but that information was downplayed or simply not presented to the jury. Even the judge seemed to be siding with the prosecution. MacDonald was painted as a monster through testimony and evidence, some of which was withheld outright and others tampered. The jury found him guilty and he was sentenced to three life terms. The book Fatal also portrays MacDonald as a monster, though the author seemed more interested in what would sell than the truth of the case.
