"A group of more than 100 Army Rangers, Alamo Scouts and Filipino guerrillas traveled 30 miles behind Japanese lines to reach the camp. Along the route, other guerrillas in the villages muzzled dogs and put chickens in cages lest they alert the Japanese.

The 30-minute raid liberated 513 POWs."

Not that I read or watch anything the Communist News Network puts out, but Benjamin Bratt did a nice job playing the officer that led the raid in a movie depicting The Great Raid (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0326905/?ref_=nv_sr_1).
