      You are lucky to have a grandfather like him. You can learn so much from a man like him. Thank him for his service from a random person on the internet.

    I always smile when I hear a Vietnam veteran say "my buddies" just young men with their buddies. Thank you for your service

    I don’t think my comments will do this gentleman justice but Mr. Blair’s relating of his experience was very powerful; straightforward and raw. And I liked Mr. Galloway’s handling of it; his questions got to the heart of the matter. Thank you.

    So all know; Joe Galloway (The interviewer.) fought for his life and his fellow American's lives, as a civilian correspondent at the Battle of Ia Drang, LZ-XRay, in 1965 with the Seventh US Cavalry.

      I watch an interview with Hal Moore and he said he knew Joe was different when he got off the chopper and saw this reporter walking up to him that night and saw him with camera bag on one shoulder and an m-16 on the other another fun fact he got his rifle from Charles Beckwith and I used to see charging Charlie around town when I was younger the most intimidating man I have ever met in my life but also the kindest man I have ever met.

    Why did they cut him off when he started to relate killing his first 2 NVA soldiers? I felt like they were censoring him and I quit watching it soon after... and yes I know who Joe Galloway is and I found his voice and interviewing style annoying

    • @myrlstone8904
      @myrlstone8904 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Watch the segment again, just as he stated killing his first NVA, he turned startled, looking distraught and said, “ Is there somebody there?” It seemed obvious that he did not want them to hear what he was about to say. Imagine a grandchild or such. Many of these interviews are done in the home. Later in the video he returns to the event and relates the story. No censoring.

      I don’t think you understand everything going on he was not censored. There was interruption not bother interviewer. Joe Galloway is pretty straight man. Do your homework on him. I think you will be impressed as most of us are
