We used to play "Army" on my Uncle's farm. Spending a lot of time on the farm with 2 cousins my age was something I'm glad I was fortunate to have while growing up. We knew every nook and cranny of that Farm, with 2 barns and many ramshackle out buildings. We knew where to set up machine guns and where and how to flank positions and snipe. By 12 years old I think we were all pretty good little soldiers! I guess we all miss the "Good old days"...
You know I've owned and shot M-1 Garands for 20 years. The guy that plays Caje has one of the fastest trigger fingers I've seen with the old girls and his reload time is great. The guy must have taken the time to learn that rifle from top to bottom. Even his sling carry is a quick deployment carry which they no longer teach. I know he's shooting blanks but the mechanics are the same. I'd say he was a very dedicated actor to his roll! Good job!
Even though I'm in my mid 50's I still feel like a little kid watching "Combat!" today. Cool difference is now I understand what the "Krauts" are saying because I took two years of German in College in the 1970's. They speak simple, but accurate German. A lot of the French is a bit off but I shouldn't nit-pik such a great Television Show. It's way better than having the Germans and French speak English with silly accents...
In reading about "Combat!" I was interested to see that "Caje" (Pierre Jalbert) was a Drill Instructor for Canadian Forces in WW2. All the main characters were military vets. Combat always seemed pretty accurate from a military standpoint. It made it SO much better than most Hollywood depictions of the military. I still remember watching these episodes when they first ran. I was a little kid in the early 60's and my cousins and I always emulated the "squad" when playing Army on the farm.

What a dream job, playing Army for money!! I watched every episode of Combat when I was a kid and I even had the board game.

Always ironic that Vic Morrow died in a war scene in a movie. RIP
Combat is the best action
I love the combat system , is the best.

Doc deserves his own episode :).

Love Saunders and his Rolex. Wonder what Vic was trying to state wearing it in episodes and why the director allowed his wearing it.
Hand grenades from thin air, very few canteens!
huskyjerk - giddy huh, me too, just can’t help but get giddy watching Combat, and all my favorite men!!
Kills me to realize what they did to demill those M1's for movie props.
I just relized something, all this time Sgt Saunders never gets promoted from E-5 to E-6, after all his heroics!
Just feeling giddy that day, I guess.
Muito bom
