Storyline
Will arrives for his last year at Military Academy, in the Deep South USA, in the 1960's. A black student, Pearce, has been accepted, for the first time and Will is asked to keep an eye out for the inevitable racism. The racists come in the form of The Ten, a secret group of the elite students. They want Pearce to leave on his own free will, but are prepared to torture him to make it 'his free will'. Will is forced to help Pearce and he is prepared to risk his own career to do so. Written by Matthew Stanfield <mattst@cogs.susx.ac.uk>

Trivia
"The Bear" wears the blue and white "ying and yang" of the 29th Infantry Division on his right shoulder which, by U.S. Army tradition, he is entitled to do if he served with that unit in combat. See more »Goofs
Factual errors: Although General Durrell mentions having fought in two wars as, presumably has "The Bear", neither wears the Combat Infantryman's Badge which they would have been entitled to since 1941. See more »Quotes
