Field of Honor (1986)

Sergeant "Sire" De Koning (Everett McGill) is a soldier in the Dutch Army during the Korean War.  He is a profane man, constantly drinking, smoking, and whoring.  When his unit is moved to the front lines, Sire arranges a party for a soldier leaving for home in 2 weeks.  Sire provides a couple of Korean women (mother and daughter) for sex (young son hands out condoms) and plenty of alcohol.  Unfortunately, a Chinese offensive breaks up the party and sends survivors into a mad retreat.  The sergeant is left for dead on the field of battle.  When he awakens, he finds himself mostly alone, the other survivors mortally wounded and begging for death.  Here follows his efforts to avoid detection by wandering Chinese soldiers while also protecting the Korean girl and her younger brother who he exposed to the dangers of the front lines.

Though set during the Korean War, this is a character study of De Koning.  When the Chinese overwhelmed his position, he cried out, "Every man for himself!"  Clearly, not the team player one would prefer.  However, when he finds himself in dire straits behind enemy lines, he goes to the aid of others and seeks to make amends to Sun Yi and Kim.

Overall, weak.  It is hard to like Sire.  He goes from thoroughly dislikeable to mostly unlikeable.  As this is a Canon production, they spared every expense.  The overwhelming Chinese attack was maybe 40 soldiers, which was about twice the size of the Dutch unit.  A column of Chinese reinforcements was 2 trucks of men.  When the Americans retake the position, there are 3 tanks and a column of men.
