Sgt. Turk (Lee Marvin) is an absolute d*ck to Saunders (Vic Morrow) and the squad (Kirby, Billy, Little John, Doc) as they escort him to a bridge he's supposed to blow up. To add injury to insult, I think more squad members get wounded in this episode than just about any other.
There's a lot of action in this but because Turk is so off putting (for seemingly little reason) the episode falls a bit flat. Lee Marvin is a good actor but the script doesn't give him much to do other than play everything one note throughout. Adding more shades to his character would have made this a much better story.
