What Happened to AUDIE MURPHY 

John. AMEN.❤

He was a good man. He regretted killing Italian and German soldiers.

Why say the greatest? That is a disservice to others who served. Did you know that according to the American Veterans Center there are at least 50 servicemen who ranked higher than Audie for medals awarded overall. I say at least 50 because that is as far as their list goes.

World War II had nothing to do with "freedom". The US made China and Europe Communist.

That's what socialism is all about, and why the young generation wants it. They feel their mere existence entitles them to literally EVERYTHING, and at the expense of the labor of others. And because they're morally corrupted, you can't get those ideas out of their heads by any kind of reasoning. They're entitled to anything they want, and government's job - in their minds - is to take it from you and give it to them. They pretend to hate "slavery" but FEEL that others should be their slaves, to provide for them. The hypocrisy is so blatant because their level of spoiled is beyond anything ever seen before. They've never known a real problem so, ironically, everything is a problem for them, and they'll commit suicide at the drop of a hat to prove that life really is just too harsh for them and they need ever more molly coddling and free stuff from others.

He was the most decorated in WWII but not in history according to the American Veterans Center.

The most decorated hero of world war 2 and one of my favourite actors.

Absolutely. He was an excellent man.

Hero, and good movie actor, was Audie Murphy

Yes sir I second that. Semper Fi.

The most precious part is when he was asked why did he do it and what was his comment back, because they were killing my friends that's love and he was willing to die for them. Those of us that are God-fearing men are those who that are protected by God himself by an archangel, as the Lord explains no better friend than one who will lay his life down for his friends. Semper Fi.

sad but true

Albert York and Audie Murphy were both from the south.york from Tennessee and Murphy from Texas.

To Steve: I also enjoy his movies - While I was in the Military, I wrote to Audie Murphy. He responded back w/ such a nice letter and Autographed Photo. Was very surprised when (several months later) he wrote me back again.

What happened to his children and how menny did he have and yes I. Still. Watch his movies 77

I also admired Audie Murphy, being a post-WWII boomer. I remember his movies, but even as a young kid, I thought his acting was awful. However, that means nothing when compared to his life story and what he contributed in our time of need.

Audie is what EVERY guy in the Spec Ops world aspires to be!

Most decorated American* soldier

Most people don't know, about Audie Murphy 🙁!! Always respected him, since I was a kid 😊!!!

@@VikashSingh-kd9el in WW2 the most decorated soldier was Col Robert Howard in Vietnam

I love his western movies he was also a great Actor RIP Audie Murphy

I've been to Arlington Cemetery only once, saw the "tourist" sections, and didn't know that Major Murphy was there. If I was to go a second time, it would be to render respect and honor to him, as well as to all the others in general.

Yeah.... I think we all need a reminder now and then. Thank you See Moore!

We dont die for money. We will give our lives for love of country.

@@douglsward3114 Or at least love for what our country is supposed to stand for... I didn't serve for the President, Congress, and damn sure didn't do it for 10% discounts. But rather for family tradition (voluntary I may add), and for those who came before me, those who were with me, and for those who would come after me. I'll close by saying that America was a much different country and people in Murphy's day. And I don't think he'd be very pleased with what it's become.

Yes he was a true hero Vietnam was a waste I believed in the bullshit and gave up a scholar ship to serve

@@rogerbrady4302 Having served myself a couple of decades after you, Thank You for your service, sacrefice, and gallantry. Vietnam was a waste, but you are not. You (among others) may have believed what turned out to be BS, but only because your heart was in the right place. I hope you are standing tall, at least on the inside. You earned it. My salute and respect !

Dislikes might come from people who are jealous of Audies courage. Rip Audie.

Because this generation is everything Audie wasn't. They're complete opposites in every aspect of their lives. Honor is humiliating, and a reproach for the socialist generation; they're 2 opposing philosophies, the antithesis of each other. One is service & responsibility oriented, and the other feels entitled to be given everything, and have everything done FOR it by others. One is based in honor, and the other in cowardice and dishonesty/dishonor: Of course they hate him.

Most likely not to smart

Those dislikes reflect the attitudes of the ignorant and uneducated who think that freedom and all that comes with it is their entitlement. Ignorant of the fact that men and women like Audie Murphy fought and many gave their lives for that freedom. These misguided and ignorant Americans are the result of the broken nuclear family, poor parenting and the broken education system in this country. Also the systematic indoctrination by leftists who hate American culture, life, history etc. In a nation in decline these are common in history. Also a government that is no longer by the people nor for the people. It is filled with self serving greedy individuals who are there for their own benefit no matter the cost or conseguence to the nation. In a word tyranny. Something the founders of this nation warned that could happen. Republican or Democrat it doesnt matter . Both parties are full of like individuals who are in there for their own agenda and gains. We the people are screwed as long as we sit by idly doing nothing.

Trolls

Book, and Film was, "To Hell and Back."

- Surely you mean : To 'Hell and Back' (1955) ?

@@HartmutJagerArt No, the movie title included "The".

Praises to all Amen bless

I'm a 72 year old Brit and have known many Americans ... Audie personifies every gallant heart and honourable character to be found in the USA. Like us, you're going through a dark time right now; stay strong- you all have my warm wishes and prayers.

An American Hero for sure! Thank you, SoulDavid!

That's right, Murphy did the right thing, and didn't take off/abandon his family. His PTSD showed that he was HUMAN. Let's not forget that George S. Patton slapped a "shell shocked" soldier, and considered them cowards. Patton should have been dismissed from the Army for that - at the very least relegated to a stateside post. I don't know if Major Murphy ever expressed his thoughts on that. But he led his men by example, and was more highly decorated than Patton was ! Patton would have had to salute Murphy first... even if Murphy was only a Corporal ! All Medal of Honor recipients are, by tradition, saluted.

@@baronedipiemonte3990 Good luck on getting Patton to salute. My dad was in N. Africa with him and Patton's driver was instructed to run over anyone who got in the way. Didn't matter if you were shot, or couldn't hear him coming. He also made them dress the dead soldiers in their leggings in 120 heat, if they still had legs. He was definitely full of himself, but was probably the best general of the 20th century.

@@1-SmallStep And my uncle who received the Silver Star in Bastogne also saw Patton's "manurisms" and eccentricity... He was certainly "out there". He would have been able to accomplish so much more had he the humanity, leadership skills and personality of the likes of General Omar Bradley or Brigadier General Theodore Roosevelt 2nd (grandson of Pres. Teddy) who was on the beach on D Day. It's recorded that Patton always lamented not receiving the Medal of Honor. My Dad served stateside in WW2 as a weapons officer/instructor. He didn't get any medals LoL. Regards !

Outstanding Bravery. Thank GOD for the few people like him. Ashame that PTSD was not recognized until Desert Storm. All those thousands of military members that saw combat prior to Desert Storm / Desert Shield, were not recognized. What

I’ve heard of him, but had no idea what a great man he was. Wow.

A brigade is typically 3,000 to 5,000 men. That is a bit more than he faced.

My father was a Navigator in a Bomber squadron in WWII and my mother said he came back a different person. Far far worse for our ground troops!

War takes a piece of you that you don't get back, there's really no way to explain it to those who haven't seen combat.

Thank you most graciously for your comment.

Thank you for the thoughtful comment, Larry, and for your service b

RIP AUDIE

A quirk is I work in the industry Audie loves horse racing and yet causes of his financial losses and demise. It seems so tragic to learn of his passing by airplane crash. My father was U S Army Engineer and Infantry too as a sharpshooter. He had three boys. He never spoke about the action or about World War II in the Philippines 😮. He is always a stern but loving father. Join the American Legion or Son or Daughter of a VFW post near you. Your parentage may qualify you to join. Please check. It is a great cause to support.

Thanks for being here Hoplite! Yeah, Audie Murphy was one of a kind. I'll have to read up on Eddie Albert. I do recall that he saved a lot of men during WWII and later fought against deforestation. I'll do some research. Thanks for the suggestion!

Jimmy Stewart also. Great Men, all !

Green Acres, is the place, to be. Audie Murphy invaded Sicily. Invade Manhattan? Jimmy Stewart said "Let it slide.", is what i heard.

3@@Alpha11minutes . Wa y m

He was only 18-19 when he entered war Just a boy 🙏🏽☘️👍🏼

Thank you for commenting and the additional information.

@@Alpha11 Most welcome. I learned a few things, you learned. That's what life's about !

Yes he got that injury during his heroic stance on that burning tank against the Germans in France.

It was not mentioned in the video,but he never 'really' left the Military. He was in the 36th Infantry,Texas National Guard up until his passing. Also known as the 'T-Patchers'. This was where he made the rank of Major.

outstanding tribute

Sorry, but not much. The Battle of the Bulge happened when Germany was practically defeated. I think the Korean War would have been much worse.

Thank you watching, and yes, he was a real hero.

HE WAS MY MOM'S HERO AND NOW MINE.......

I assure you that his home county is doing everything they can to keep that memory alive. He's everywhere, statue in front of the Cotton Museum and all there in the county seat. All sorts of cool county & state history inside.

Audie Murphy was my childhood, imaginery friend. I loved this guy all my life. I can't get enough of watching all of his movies. RIP, Audie, you were the best.

He was the first marker I found at Arlington ! I felt the same way !

Yes he was. Thanks tj921able!

Luke 21,36 KJV

Yea he was! Thank you, Alan!

@Alan... Your son have could have faired worse than to be named after Audie Murphy ! And I've seen & heard some names in my day. I'm only 57

I never miss a cowboy movie on Grit when he is in it......love him

@@bbdaria3023 Neither do I. They love Audie on Grit!

Yesssssss congrats to all bless❤🙏❤🙏

Thanks for watching, Lucy!

Thank you for sharing!

James arness, aka marshall Matt Dillon of Dodge, also was a war hero, who received many medals. Ronald reagan and John Wayne were not the real deal. Bravo Audie Murphy! Big Jim arness is gone now, as are so many if our world war 2 veterans. I am so grateful for their service.

Yes, while John Wayne and Ronald Reagan were Fakes - Audie Murphy was the REAL DEAL !

@@HartmutJagerArtAudie was real! He and Dan Blocker..Hoss were personally my favorite example of America...Texas style. Strong courageous but sympathic to the little guy. I dont want to think Reagan and Wayne were . .fake but they did not represent the same kind of inclusiveness for all Americans.

@@rc-darkangel774 Sorry guy but they were in fact "fake". Especially John Wayne... America's so-called frontier hero, who feared fighting in WW 2 and cleverly avoided the draft. To me, that's a true coward!

@@HartmutJagerArt Reagan and Wayne also contributed to the war effort in their own way. When Reagan entered the service he was recruited to make training movies for all the different branches and to sell war bonds. Wayne made many movies intended to boost public opinion that we had to win, he also sold bonds to finance the war effort. WWII was the last war where a majority of all citizens were involved in contributing to the war effort, and while all were not heros like Murphy, all were necessary in bringing the war to an end.

Not the most decorated. Just the most decorated American. The heroism of Murphy is undeniable, but many Allied combatants fought longer and won more honours. Consider Bernard Montgomery, who began the war in command of a regiment and ended as a Field Marshall with many awards, or the Russian sniper, a woman, who won the Order of Lenin repeatedly. Nonetheless, Audie Murphy was a hero, flawed as all humans but that makes his greatness more admirable.

@@marylowther8495 And unless I am mistaken, he is STILL the most decorated American soldier ever.

@@marylowther8495 I just Googled it, and verified on two other sources... Audie Murphy was the most decorated American soldier. And probably the most decorated soldier. Having carefully watched "To Hell and Back" several times, and read a few blurbs about him, I think it's safe to say that he wasn't a war monger...he didn't enjoy killing. The Army gave him a sense of purpose and self respect that he'd never have gotten had he stayed home in the Texas dust bowl he was in. He wanted to make a life long career of the Army. He had an appointment to West Point. His battle wounds put an end to both. My Dad also wanted to make a career of the Army, but he was injured in WW2 as well. And like father like son... Some of us are just cut out for it. Doesn't mean we enjoy war. Audie Murphy was a great actor, but he said it himself... The movies were the same, just different horses. To be honest, there's no viable reason why the Army couldn't have let him stay in. Even if there wasn't the Korean war and Vietnam 10 & 20 years later, he still would have been an great asset. The sad part is that despite his best efforts, he never found anything to give him the fulfillment the Army did. Just like Eliot Ness (the Untouchables) never found his niche after Prohibition ended... Best regards to you !

@@baronedipiemonte3990 Honest words. Thank you for those and for your service.

@@baronedipiemonte3990 I read that he joined the Texas Army National Guard after WW II and was promoted to Major. That was probably a state rank but possibly it was federally recognized. His position in the guard might have been ceremonial only considering his acting career. But none the less, it should have been mentioned.

he was 5'5

Indeed

Now that’s a HERO! Thank you for your service. RIP.

Amen

Hoorah

lol. that's what i hear

Audie would support the generals. It is not cowardice to admit to having battle shock.

Col Robert Howard is the most decorated soldier, nominated 3 times for the MOH received one, wounded 14 times would only except 7 purple hearts, numerous other decorations, silver star w/oak leave cluster, bronze star

@@JohnAdams-xc5yk Yeah but we're talking about Audie Murphy over here bro.

@@nagone11 👌

We don't have good leaders today. Both political parties need to retire and new blood needs to come into Washington. Rip Audie, your in heaven. Thank God.

Really wow

he was a hell of a movie star................he made some great color westerns. as a young boy in texas, audie murphy was our hero role model.

Thanks for being here and commenting, Doris!

It should have ended in 1944.

Thank you for the nice comment!

Thank you, Sandra!
