It's a privilege to listen to this man. His remark about why he stopped reporting was meant to be a joke about running up and down dunes behind marines at 65. He stated in another interview his real reason. That after he watched american soldiers getting killed in front of him in Mosul while embedded with a striker unit he had realized nothing changed between when he saw his first soldier get killed and the one in front of him and he had seen to much.
This man had seen more war than a lot of soldiers, much respect.

two days before this was uploaded was the 71st "anniversary" (Dare one call the largest naval invasion an anniversary of all things) of the Normandy landings. I presume this was recorded before than. I watched the movie, we were soldiers, then i watched this. I wish I had watched this before I'd seen the movie.

Correct Sir.
The Normandy Flotilla made The Spanish Armada look like a Recreational Sunday Canoe trip on a Placid Lake by a bunch of "Weekenders".
It has been called "The Greatest & Largest Naval Invasion In History"
I think "They" are entirely correct

Joe was great as usual. That MC was unprepared. Listening to him mispronounce IaDrang over and over was difficult.

Enemy sanctuaries - disgraceful, no different than sanctuary cites in the U.S.

He went to war and played soldier without being one. Then spent the rest of his life blabbering about it with his perpetual smug face. Not impressed.
