    In 2013 I went back to South Vietnam to revisit two places where in May and June 1969 I fought during the battle of Dak To and Ben Het.
    I had intense flashbacks when I returned to Dak To, as if I were reliving that battle.
    PTSD is real and can never be cured.
    Those of us who have experienced war firsthand will carry the memories of combat until we pass away.
    Old soldiers never die we just fade away.
    I'll be 75 years old next week. I never thought that I would live so long.

    I read little article of a WW1 Brit soldier who sayed in France after so he could be the caretaker and honor guard of a cemetary for his regiment at The Somme. He was still there in 1940. The Germans invading in '40 found him, considered him harmless and let him stay. He ended up hiding a lot of downed Allied airmen and found some resistance fighters to get them back to Britian. There is a great yet made movie somewhere in that.

      That’s awesome!! I’ve read and heard stories of soldiers staying behind when they married the women there… There was snafu’s of misdated information that put WW-1 vets on combat duty till it was too late. Most Vets knew the terrain and some sailors knew the waters were serving till the snafu (situation normal all fouled up) was corrected. Over time the administration had fixed the processing and the information age was being perfected to avoid issues.

    • @markcollins2666
      @markcollins2666 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      A Bronze Star with V, for valor, is the only Bronze Star that counts. It can be awarded without citation, that is, for no particular reason, which means that you can get one, just if your superiors happen to like you. Too many officers and senior enlisted got them, for being golden boys in a combat zone, and that cheapens the the award, for those that gave much, and even all.

    You are welcome! Personally, I love the B&W cinematography in this series and I find it more appropriate for the era it depicts (it also allowed for the occasional incorporation of real war footage, as in the beginning s.1 e.3). Thank you for mentioning WWII vets, since Eddie Albert was one of them - and a recipient of the Bronze Star medal.

    Eddie Albert Served in the United States Navy during WWII. According to IMDB,
    He was an active participant in the battle of Tarawa (Nov. 1943), one of the bloodiest battles of World War II and in the history of the U.S. Marine Corps. Albert was credited with rescuing up to 70 wounded Marines while under enemy fire. He was awarded the Bronze Star with a combat "V". He did not speak about this publicly until it was mentioned in several television documentaries about the battle in the 1990s. Took a landing craft from the ships to the shore, and back, over 20 times to bring back wounded Marines from the shore. Had given up his acting career to enlist and went through OCS to become an officer. He played as Oliver Douglas on Green Acres. He also worked as a spy for the U.S. government as a spy in Mexico like copperblazer1 stated.

    This was a terrific episode also ! Use to watch Combat as a very YOUNG boy (6 to 10 yrs. old). Didn't realize then how great these programs were until later ! My dad's uncle (my great uncle) was a world War 1 doughboy he got gassed really bad... he came back with a purple heart....he wound up drinking a lot after the war my dad said (that's all I know) I guess maybe to deal with either the physical or emotional pain of it all.
    War is brutal ! Programs like these make ya appreciate the soldiers. They just don't make programs like these anymore at all ! And nobody could play Sgt. Saunders better than Vic Morrow !!

    Eddie Albert was a great actor.
    He was also a spy.
    Prior to World War II, and before his film career, Albert had toured Mexico as a clown and high-wire artist with the Escalante Brothers Circus, but secretly worked for U.S. Army intelligence, photographing German U-boats in Mexican harbors.
    On September 9, 1942, Albert enlisted in the United States Navy and was discharged in 1943 to accept an appointment as a lieutenant in the U.S. Naval Reserve.
    He was awarded the Bronze Star with Combat "V" for his actions during the invasion of Tarawa in November 1943, when, as the pilot of a U.S. Coast Guard landing craft, he rescued 47 Marines who were stranded offshore (and supervised the rescue of 30 others), while under heavy enemy machine-gun fire.

Heck, the VIIC type did not have the range...maybe a IXC type and that only if you had a "milch" cow supplying them.

      There were U-boats in the Gulf. The U-166 (Type IXC) was sunk south of Louisiana.
      During 1942 and 1943, more than 20 U-boats operated in the Gulf of
      Mexico. They attacked tankers transporting oil from ports in Texas and
      Louisiana, successfully sinking 56 vessels.

Really gave it that WWII documentary feel to it. One of the very best TV series of the 60's. Glad I lived through it. It has been years since I watched any TV.

    Eddie WAS a great actor! He could play almost any part in any movie. This COMBAT! episode is just another great display of talent, from acting, directing, & story. The entire series is really an American treasure & there cannot & will not EVER be a show of any kind that comes close to it. All the "actors", & "directors" of today are more concerned with anti-American mindsets that instead of creating a powerful & timeless series seek to divide Americans rather than extol their virtues. The trash they call entertainment is more geared towards forcing acceptance of queerness, bi-racial relationships, & left-wing propaganda.

I guess they felt the seriousness of the subject was too intense for viewers, so some ridiculous comedy would sorta soften the blow? However up until then, a truly fascinating film, and Mr. Albert's performance is exemplary. A MUST see!

    Glad I saw this. One of the more "far out" episodes, but I liked it. My grandfather was in the 4th Battle of Verdun, 1918. I like how Eddie Albert's shooting skills have all gone to hell, but not his bayonet training. But, although enthused at first, my grandfather grew to hate the war, the weapons and all. He and his unit were sent "over the top" with orders to take no prisoners. The Germans were out of men, they were fighting with boys. As his unit advanced, he found a German on the ground, a frightened boy as he related to my brother, and stabbed the earth between his arm and torso, so his Sergeant would see him apparently delivering the coup de grace. He very rarely spoke of his combat experience, and then only with disgust.

      When I was in Bootcamp in 68 there was a Democrat convention in Chicago. Navy was concerned that the base might be attacked. So, they put us recruits (all E1s) to patrolling the fence lines and we carried 1903 Springfields (with lead barrel plugs) and the bayonet for them, tack welded into the scabbard. We had helmet liners, lace up leggings, duty belt, canteen, posted area map and a whistle. We all looked like something out of a WW 2 John Wayne movie called "They were Expendable". Today was Biden inaug. Saw pics of NG with backs turned to motorcade. 52 years between. How things have changed since back then.

    I love the series Combat! I was just a 13 year old kid when I saw these episodes air the first time back in 1963. I tried to never miss one, but who knows. I don't remember most episodes, so they're all new to me again. My dad fought in the war and he used to tell me not to believe much of the episodes because he said combat back then just wasn't like the shows. But he watched them with me. (Even though he fought and won the Bronze Star plus a number of other lesser awards, he never had problems talking about the war with me. Unusual from what I understand. But he was of German descent and stayed there after the war as part of the occupation; married my mother, a German and I was raised over there in a small German town until I was 11.)
    Still, I think it's humorous that what appears to be an MG42 can't hit three guys at less than fifty feet. Sorry boys, but you would have been dead if it were real (at about 11:30 of the episode).

      There were always soldiers who raped. There's a cemetery in France, Oise-Aisne American Cemetery, where 95 rapists and murderers were buried in Plot E after they were executed. The only man executed for desertion, Pvt. Eddie Slovik, is also buried there. Yes, GI's raped, killed and plundered and many were deserters as well. Paris had a couple particularly violent U.S. deserter gangs who became their organized crime kings after the war. My father did not tell me about this. I acquired this from reading a lot of history books, many of them primary sources.

      For whatever reason my father was fairly open about his experiences and even passed on the book his infantry division printed about its history in WWII. Along with it came a printed history of his platoon and even his squad. Apparently, since his division started as a training division, they got a fair number of intellectuals and had some great writers among them. My dad was a trainer too, but his specialty was radar. Fortunately this kept his division out of combat until Dec 1944. Still, he fought and was brave enough to win a bronze star. His act was in the booklet on his squad. Sadly, while he was in the hospital for a week with the flu many in his squad were gunned down by a "friendly" machine gun. He said this was the hardest thing to bear about his entire period in combat. Understandable too.
