The Enemy Who Shared His Foxhole (Korea, 1951)

It was 40 BELOW. They were ENEMIES. They shared a HOLE. January 1951. Private First Class John "Jack" O'Brien was cut off from his unit. Blizzard. No visibility. He stumbled into a foxhole. A CHINESE SOLDIER was already there. They stared at each other. RAISED RIFLES. Then the Chinese soldier lowered his gun. He handed O'Brien his CANTEEN. They spent the night BACK TO BACK—sharing body heat. At dawn, the Chinese soldier pointed left. Then walked right. Neither fired. "HE COULD HAVE KILLED ME," O'Brien said. "HE CHOSE NOT TO." The coldest night. The warmest MERCY.
