The Borinqueneers were a kickass, all-Hispanic (mostly Puerto Rican) unit of the US Army. These servicemen and women served honorably and with distinction during World War I, World War II, and the Korean War.

This episode talks about the regiment's first tactical failure (Operation Cleanup) and the problems with leadership and personnel. We also spotlight two heroes who earned medals due to their bravery in the midst of battle.
