Synopsis:
An
absorbing story about a soldier who discovers that different
people judge different people differently, the same as they
do love and hate.
John
Warren Scully becomes a womanizer at an early age. His older
brothers teach him well, but fail miserably in one area of
his "street education."
They
never teach him that there is a big difference between
tolerance and intolerance, and between love and hate. Scully
has to learn that by himself.
In
1949, at the age of seventeen, Scully joins the Army. He soon
comes face-to-face with the concepts his brothers never
explained.
Along
the way, the new knowledge almost gets him killed, especially
after basic training when he finds his best buddy, Howie
Sullivan, brutally murdered.
Howie was recently recommended for
the Soldier's Medal for saving a woman and her child's
lives.
The
homicide investigation reveals that he may have been a
homosexual. The Soldier's Medal is put on hold, pending
clarification.
Later,
Scully faces a complex dilemma. He must decide whether he
should disclaim his past friendship with Howie, or continue
to honor it despite the ugly suspicions that could adversely
affect him and his military career.
