Legend!!!!! Not enough people know of him. I read his book years ago and swore I would meet this man! I didn’t get to. I regret this greatly. Thanks be to god men like him lived! Legend!
McNiece was busted in rank several times, always for off base shenanigans but everytime he fought he was seen as a leader and promoted again. They'd have given him velcro backed stripes if it was invented back then.
Today theyd kick him out. The military hates guys like Mcniece now. Seen tons of guys with his mentality get kicked out nowadays. Partly why the military can't find recruits.
Its cause of this man we Didn't loose WW2, He and his man where the ones dropped in Bastogne ( battle of the bulge) to call in supply drops for the 101st airborne. All the other major operations he was involved in were highly difficult and help to change the course of the war. The mow hawks and war paint were a nice touch
Damn, he reminds me of my grandad. That kind of man born in 1920s oklahoma and grew up hard during the dust bowl and the depression...true men by 17 years old. I admire them so much. Its a cliche but its true, they don't make like that anymore!
What an original! Love the man along with all who served in the wars..both World Wars were horrific! Both equally but in different ways! God has a special place for all who fought to save mankind! Now this was most pertinent in WW2!!!
He was adamant that the 101 Could have held the arnhem Bridge if they had been allocated it Well maybe closer drop zones But 30 corp wasnt patton driven!
I'll bet this guy wasn't half the soldier he lets on to be. Or the other clowns in the "Filthy 13." How far do you think he would have gotten if Ronald Speirs had been his platoon leader.
Jake was my great-great uncle. He was every bit the man and soldier he claims to be, and more. The man is humble beyond words. Never wished to brag, never wished to flaunt his achievements. What sealed it for me is that not once he spoke on how many lives he saved by saving the Battle of the Bulge. If that battle was lost the war would’ve continued for at minimum months, and there would have been untold deaths if that were to happen. Jake stopped it. And not once did he ramble on about how many lives his actions saved.

I sorely miss Jake, he was my Friend.
Sorry for your loss. You are lucky to have known him. What a character!
Jake is the definition of one tough hombre. RIP

You are lucky you knew him personally
@@garybones6923My condolences sir.

He will be a private on base, a sergeant in the field

Amazing interview. Wish I could have met you before you passed. Rest in peace, great-great uncle.
Just love this man's chuckle & sense of mischief.
"We're a small group." Ha! This was great.
A truly amazing man, thank God for men like him. A hero for our great country. We need many more men of his caliber. RIP ❤
A True American Hero / BADASS!!
The way he cracks up thinking back 😂😂
man was the type of guy to say "report to the first Sergent thats just a weekly meeting for me"
what a LEGEND

You got that right.

Wow. What a man . I just recently learned that during the Irish potato famine the Choctaws sent aid the Irish .
“Break glass in event of war “. Otherwise, this guy served no purpose for the military- until it was time to be a military.
What an original! Love the man along with all who served in the wars..both World Wars were horrific! Both equally but in different ways! God has a special place for all who fought to save mankind! Now this was most pertinent in WW2!!!
One of the biggest bad asses ever .need more like him
A true LEGEND 🇺🇸
He was adamant that the 101
Could have held the arnhem
Bridge if they had been allocated it
Well maybe closer drop zones
But 30 corp wasnt patton driven!
When Men were Men!!

Lol!
Great story, but it's bs
It's not?
I'll bet this guy wasn't half the soldier he lets on to be. Or the other clowns in the "Filthy 13." How far do you think he would have gotten if Ronald Speirs had been his platoon leader.
How long would Spiers last if he made the same four jumps behind enemy lines that McNeice did?
Most of those 'clowns' died in battle. You'd probably die from an ingrown toenail. You're not fit to clean the latrines of men like that.
Watch who you call a clown pos !
@@adriansullivan7629 Try reading a book. You do realize movies are not real, right?
