The
Leatherneck

Set just after World War I, "The Leatherneck" follows two American Marines, William Boyd and Robert Armstrong, who strike up an unlikely friendship with a German soldier, Alan Hale. They manage to bring him into their American fold. The story then jumps ahead to peacetime, where all three are still in the Marines. Things take a dramatic turn when Boyd's love interest is 'stolen,' leading his two buddies on a rescue mission. When they don't return, Boyd has to go after them, all while his own actions are being judged in a court martial for desertion, told through a series of flashbacks. It's really a story about loyalty, you know?
