Who’s here Jocko 2021 Go get some
Heard about him from Jocko podcast, what a life lived, tough as nails.
Same here. #273 and 274. He took a bayonet to the chest and it broke off plus multiple other wounds. Truly one tough man
Son of a miner tried to join the army at 14 and got stopped on the train to basic training.
I knew Tony and family extremely well I was honored to call him a friend.
I wonder if it's possible to obtain a copy of the complete interview. I'm a BIG fan of Lt Col Herbert, reading his book "Soldier", and "The Making of a Soldier" several times. He was one of our country's genuine heros, upholding the highest standards of military ethics. We sure needed a lot more like him in 'Nam. JD. My email is jdalesandro@sbcglobal.net, if anyone can help with the interview.
@@455jjd by any chance have you been able to locate the full interview withing these past 3 years? I just listened to the Jocko 273 podcast reviewing "Soildier" and "The Making of a Soldier" and I am extremely interested in hearing more about this individual.
Wow.
I read Lt. Col. Herbert's book, "Soldier" & I came away with the conviction that he, by the training he received from WWII combat veterans, exemplified the highest ethical standards of the military he loved. And, aside from having compassion for the civilians caught in the vise of a war, he also did for wounded soldiers on the other side, which is described in the book. He's one of the heros of the Vietnam War in my book. JD
How this guy survived korea is beyond me
Are you willing to sell me the book if you still have it?
That book, and Herbert's previous book, were just reviewed in two separate Joko podcasts: ruclips.net/video/Tnay6Muukzw/видео.html
@@joshuaturbeville2596 mr turbeville it's still on line and you'd be surprised at how many used book stores may still have it in a $ bin
Found it. This was quite a while ago thanks for the reminder
One of the best this country ever produced. God we need men like this today in our Army
Now they sodomize prisoners and feed them through an enema if they try to hunger strike.. Anthony never would have had that on his watch...
I read his book in high school. He was awarded 4 Silver Stars, 3 Bronze Stars with V device, 4 purple Hearts.
Herbert was my ROTC instructor at UGA in 1966-68. A good man - the only good man in the whole ROTC Dept. Col. Short (Professor of Military Science) was he worse.
UGA has an incredible background of having great ROTC instructors...
One of the greatest Soldiers of the US military.
read his book years ago . ( soldier ) good read enjoyed it very much .
Mike Wallace did a hit piece at Nixon's request and Wallace couldn't tie the man's bootlaces, we know now as this is all in the open and Chris Wallace is the same as his daddy, a stooge..
Yes sir.
From the little town of Herminie PA, just southwest of Pittsburgh. Read his book "Soldier". He ranks right up there with John Paul Vann, Col. David Hackworth, James Webb and Chesty Puller among American soldiers who didn't find it necessary to sacrifice their ethics.
incredible soldier--his book is amazing--he fought well, hard, and tried to do the right thing
Wow, how naive people are about what goes on in this world
This guy is the definition of a super soldier in every sense of the word. I wonder how many soldiers that go to war are similar to him? I bet not many. This is a man that lived and breathed the fight. Right up there as one of the greatest soldiers of all armies in history.
I remember reading Lt. Col. Herbert's interview in Playboy magazine as a boy of maybe 12. I recall that he described U.S. soldiers in Vietnam as being braver and having to suffer worse conditions than soldiers in Korea or WW2. The fact that he was a combat veteran of all three wars made a tremendous impression on me. The Lt. Col. was famous for establishing the tactic of coming straight down from helicopters onto the enemy instead of doing so from a distance and incurring far more casualties. At least I believe this to be true, if it is not I will welcome clarification.
Why no jump wings?
I can't help but think how good a film about him played by Bruce Willis would have been...
We now know he was right. RIP to a brave soldier.
I'd like to know who the person is that deleted my reply regarding my thoughts on Lt. Col. Herbert, & what your rationale was for doing it. I wrote nothing but words of praise for the man, so I don't see what warranted your action. I want an explanation. JD
Who has the right to inhibit another man opinion or apraizel ?A man that thinks himself is right .
Wether it is right or wrong it s free speech. what was written.
I would like to know what you wrote.? Post again please
Johnnie boy NZ
truly a professional warrior a good book from a great soldier i read his book when i was young and his era was different from mine , the conflicts that i bopped in were different from his if the S2' types interviewed in a rough handed way it didn't bother me because the haji's were no joke all i gave 2'f%$ks about was the job and my brother's in my unit
This is a hard man of purpose.
Is Col. Herbert still alive?
Just as easy to Google it bro...
Died in 2014. Buried at Arlington
He looks like ‘Taxi Driver” 🚕
A man of high mortality.
This is the "film deteriorated" print.
He’d be a good voice for cartoons.
