Audie Murphy is the most highly decorated soldier in US history. How 1 man could live through so much makes one believe in divine intervention. Just amazing!!!
Audie Murphy grew up very poor and had a great deal responsibility placed on his shoulders at a very young age. He left school in the 5th grade to help support his family. He was orphaned at the age of 16 and joined the military at age of 17. After the war he went back and helped care for his brothers and sisters. There are many forms of courage that Audie Murphy displayed, not only in battle, but in life.
I couple of years ago, I learned that my grandfather's oldest brother served in a key naval battle in WW2. He served on the Electra in the Battle of Java Sea during World War 2. I learned that the ship he was on, was more or less dueled with two enemy Japanese ships in order to cover another wounded ship's escape. The Electra supposedly put up a valiant fight, but she herself was sunk. My grandfather's brother was not one of the survivors.
@@teresagriffin7023 you know the Germans mocked the US in the 30s and said we’d never pose a military threat bc Americans were too “decadent” and “weak” immoral consumerists etc lol wasn’t true then, isn’t true now.
Hi guys! Good video. My father was stationed in India for over 3 years during WWII. He fought to keep the Japanese out of India. While there he learned the language, and because he already spoke French and English the army also used him as an interpreter.
I'm familiar with the story of the 13 soldiers stopping a multitude. Seems like a common theme with Indian soldiers, as the Chinese army has recently learned. Audie was a brave young man and a pretty good cowboy actor.
In 2009, my daughters and I visited family who lived near Washington D. C. We visited Arlington National Cemetary. We saw the changing of the guard, the grave of President Kennedy, so much honor was there. Then, we were walking down a sidewalk viewing the sad beauty of that place, and right next to the sidewalk was the headstone of Audie Murphy. I knew his importance, and what he did for freedom. I was overwhelmed , and so grateful for what he did.
The Gurkhas are to me the most fierce and with their gurkha itself is a lethal weapon and one they truly will hold till the end. The WW2 battles that are described where they are involved with the Japanese are truly horrendous encounters. You should check them out.
Audie Murphy was a true hero. He suffered PTSD big time when this was not recognized and no treatment, or recognition of soldiers suffering it. He had a short life but accomplished much, and especially his after-war contributions to those that were still suffering.
He did all this to liberate the French, who in return quickly demanded the US NATO troops leave the country not long after the US had helped to finance and rebuild their war torn country, and restored their civilian government.

I believe so too. He was never alone, even on that burning tank. He might have thought he was, but he wasn't.
I agree 100%...

250 Nazi's vs. a Texas Runt. You're going to need more Nazis.

Audie Murphy was a true hero!!
We certainly used to be. I wonder if we have any Audie Murphys left?
Used to be, but now can't decide gender, afraid to offend, etc
@@fluffylittlebear
My family is filled with Audie Murphys, of ALL ages and ALL generations…❤️🇺🇸❤️

As an army brat, I grew up with this story and many others of what our brave men have done.
Thanks for the video guys! Can you do a reaction video on Simo Häyhä, a legend from Finland?

Indeed, the battle of Saragarhi is a very inspiring story which should be told more often.
I'm in my 40's and love him and his movies. Great man. A real man.

Nice reaction / review. He was certainly special.
As we say here in Texas; Y'all be safe.
Thank you, for this excellent representation of Audie Murphy..
Texas boys are a different kind of Cat, fierce warriors
The color footage of Murphy on the tank, is from the movie.
You would enjoy the movie To Hell and Back. Audie Murphy plays himself. I still have his book after 50 yrs.
Very good reaction.
Good post
You gotta be nuts to get inside a small airplane. Just sayin...

Audie joined the army by lying because he was too young, and he was very small. But his heart was strong.
