Saunders is assigned to capture a German soldier with his squad to get information for the intelligence but he needs to receive three replacements first. When they arrive, the trio is above forty years old. One wants to show that is still a good soldier; another one is a politician expecting to become a senator; and the last one is a family man that misses his family. There is friction between Kirby and Private Clauson but Saunders resolve their issue. When they capture a German corporal, they return to their head quarter but they are followed by a German troop. Now the replacements are necessary to help Saunders. How will they act?
"The Old Men" is an average episode of "Combat!". The story is only reasonable and has nothing different from other episodes. The performances are great and the conclusion is well resolved. My vote is seven.
