  • Опубликовано: 7 апр 2021
  • 1968 in Vietnam and Master Sergeant Roy Benevidez undertook an incredibly brave rescue of a special forces team that had been surrounded by an NVA Infantry Battalion of over 1000 men. Armed with just a knife and his medical bag, Benevidez threw himself into the thick of the action and conducted a rescue attempt that resulted in him saving the lives of at least 8 men.
    When presented the Medal of Honor by President Reagan, the President turned to the press and said, "If the story of his heroism were a movie script, you would not believe it".

    So something we should have made clear and we're getting lots of comments on, he received those award for his actions and in 1981 Benavidez's Distinguished Service Cross was upgraded to the Medal of Honor.

    Speaking of Sabaton, may I suggest the story of Leslie “Bull” Allen? He was an Australian soldier in the Pacific Theatre of WWII, who carried twelve American soldiers from a hell of Japanese gunfire, by carrying them on his back. It’s an amazing story.

      His blood is running cold
      Just like his victories
      His story unfolds
      Bright, a white light
      If there'd be
      Any glory in war
      Let it rest
      On men like him
      Dead men will never come back
      Crosses grow on Anzio
      Where no soldier sleeps
      And where hell is six feet deep
      That death does wait
      There's no debate
      So charge and attack
      Going to hell and back
      A man of the 15th
      A man of can do
      Friends fall around him
      And yet he came through
      Let them fall face down
      If they must die
      Making it easier
      To say goodbye
      Bright, a white light
      If there'd be
      Any glory in war
      Let it rest

      That death does wait
      There's no debate
      So charge and attack
      Going to hell and back
      Oh gather 'round me
      And listen while I speak
      Of a war where hell is six feet deep
      And all along the shore
      Where cannons still roar
      They're haunting my dreams
      They're still there when I sleep
      He saw crosses grow on Anzio
      Where no soldier sleeps
      And where hell is six feet deep
      That death does wait
      There's no debate

    So here’s 2 things u forgot to mention. He had a bullet wound to the stomach that later exposed his intestines. And the reason why he was put in for the distinguished service cross instead of the Medal of Honor was because his commanding officer thought he wasn’t going to live to see it, since the Medal of Honor process is much longer then the distinguished service cross process. Still nice video!

    In case you didn’t think he was tough enough, before all this he had stepped on a land mine and messed up his back to the point where his doctor told him he would never walk again. He begged them to not discharge him and give him a chance, and he would secretly fall out of bed every night and stand and put pressure on his legs until he could walk again. Also, I’m pretty sure he was holding his own intestines in by the time he got on the chopper.

    Thats crazy. It would have been bravery if he would have been into this position in the first place, but the cat he willingly got in there to help is just such a selfless and brave action. This is heroism, not some sniper or pilot ace that racks up kills, this is a hero.

    There's an event from his life beforehand that really speaks to the character of this man. He earned his Green Beret and was training men in Afghanistan when he eventually stepped on a land mine paralyzing him from the waist down. How did he then earn the Medal of Honor for 6 hours in Hell after being paralyzed? Every night in the hospital, and against Drs orders, he crawled out of bed and to the nearest wall to the cheers of fellow veterans. He did anything he could to wiggle his toes, bend his knees, push against the wall, and 2 years later walked out of the hospital with his wife. Obviously that Vietnamese soldier couldn't kill him with a mere bayonet.
    This really needs to be added to the video.

    That said, Roy Benavidez is a true, real life hero who would likely kick the Predators fictional butt! His is one of the most remarkable stories I've ever heard and it humbles me every time I hear or read about it.
    It should be noted that he was actually in church services when he overheard the radio call in the next tent over. Also, though properly depicted on the video but not mentioned is that in his haste to get out to the ambush site, Roy forgot his M16 and jumped initially unarmed from the Huey into the battle!
    Great video as always.
