    This reminds me of a WWII story during a naval engagement. The Admiral stood on the bridge of his carrier looking off over the sea. While waiting for planes he knew would never return, he quietly wondered to himself: "Where do we find such men?"

  • @oscarperales8365

    In 2018 Clint Eastwood made a movie (3:17 to Paris) about 3 servicemen who took down a terrorist on a train in Europe. This is the fastest I have seen Hollywood make a movie from a current incident. They know how and when to cash in. Yet, from the time Roy Benavidez was in this horrific battle to the time he was awarded the Medal of Honor was 13 years. 55 years later I am still waiting for Hollywood to make a movie. I have read several citations for the MOH and this is by far the most awesome sample of true heroism. Move over Audie.

      Their are a few videos of this man on RUclips - I recommend you watch - he certainly very entertaining.
      This organization is just showing a documentary of their main focus if there mission - using known source material - reason for the low volume - few people watch documentaries, they personally prefer watching a game of tennis over learning true history

    Honestly take a moment to really think about, perseverance through some many wounds, this guy got shot multiple times, grenade fragments, a brutal strike from the buttstoke of a AK, then stabbed in the arm with a bayonet, this is similar to a Navy Seal who was wounded 27 times but refused to go down, this is absolutely remarkable, and it warms my heart that from what I can gather Roy was highly respected and he at least got that respect he deserved after his tough years when he was young

    I earned (not awarded through descion) my Medal of Honor Medal of Valor and The Navy Cross documented on my Letter of Appreciations keeping Law and Order during the Cold War to keep Our Vietnam War Police Action an Action of Police Work not to be in Vein for any.....
    "We The People" is what Vietnam War was about, we knew The World was getting smarter and the ruthlessness of other Countries had to be stopped "Semper Fidelis"
