    I saw him in an interview, and he said I didn't earn this metal of honor, my men earned it and I wear it today to honor them.

      You should have "edited" the word "metal" to "medal."

    You get all the way to the end of this incredible soldier's career and you don't finish the story. When did he retire? How long did he serve? Has he passed and when? That's a bummer. Now I have to look it up.

    The bayonet charge that Lewis Millett it was during the Korean war. He started as a main national guardsman when he found out that they were not going to be entering the war abandoned his post snuck across the border to Canada joined their army and went overseas to start fighting immediately, then Pearl Harbor happens and the American army starts getting its way over into the European area. Then he leaves the Canadian army walks into the American army branch and says heyI would like to sign back up please. They sign him court march claim because he abandoned his post, kick him out, rejoin the army, and got a promotion without leaving the office.

    Honestly in WW2 going to North Africa would have been a blessing because they then went to Italy and remained there til the end of the war… the other 2 options, moving through France Belgium and Germany, or Island hopping in the Pacific is definitely way worse than the NA campaign and then being stationed in Italy after they surrendered. Not taking anything away from his story or anything, I’m just saying if I had to choose between those 3 locations I’m taking NA over d-day and the harsh winters of the European theatre and a thousand times better than d-day every day island hopping in the Pacific Theatre.

    At 2:25,... Did FDR *REALLY* say that American troops wouldn't be deployed 'outside'?? -- This is the SAME MAN who referred to Josef Stalin as "Uncle Joe." -- This is the SAME MAN who, with the military Joint Chiefs of Staff *KNEW* that Japan would strike at Pearl Harbor (just... not... exactly... when,) but left our military FLAT-FOOTED on December 7, 1941.
    -- I hope FDR's Soul is languishing in "Outer Darkness." (look up that reference in your KJV Bible.)

    Steaming rifle piles of horse crap. Meanwhile they just waited for them to run out of ammunition and then attacked small starving men that probably tried to surrender or blew themselves up with hand grenades.
