The Purple Testament (Season 1, Episode 19)
Directed by: Richard L. Bare
Written by: Rod Serling
Based on: N/A
Opening: Infantry platoon, U.S. Army, Philippine Islands, 1945. These are the faces of the young men who fight, as if some omniscient painter had mixed a tube of oils that were at one time earth brown, dust gray, blood red, beard black, and fear yellow-white, and these men were the models. For this is the province of combat, and these are the faces of war.
Content note: this episode uses an ethnic slur for the Japanese.
