It may have more to do with those who deem war for any cause as being unjust -- a segment of society that seems to be growing larger year by year. There were numerous conscientious objectors in WW II who were happy to take to themselves the benefits of freedom purchased at great price by those who for the sake of their country, its commerce, and its Judeo-Christian ethic, fought gallantly in battle and either died there or came home with wounds from which they could never recover.

Audie was my cousin on my mother’s side, he as a young man was kind, courteous, and generous to a fault. He was taken advantage of by family and so called friends, he gave away a fortune to help anyone that asked. My mom, my aunt and their brothers were alyways very bitter about how Audie was used and discarded when the money ran out, he deserved much better.

The book I read had accounts from the men he led. Most of his actions were in leading and especially protecting those men! He constantly regretted not being able to help them all come home. One account I read happened shortly after he first came to Hollywood. He went to an exercise gym and was learning to box. Another guy (also a vet) agreed to box him. Audie was small and not very good and got knocked down several times but always got up. As they got dressed, the vet noticed all the scars on Audie. He didn't ask Audie how he got them, but another guy asked, "Don't you know that guy you beat up was Audie Murphy"? He felt terrible.

@clydesuckfinger7097 6 жыл бұрын

His accomplishments are truly amazing. One thing I don't think mos people appreciate is the fact that he played himself in the film "To Hell and Back". He had to relive all of those terrifying battles he experienced. Not only recall those horrific moments like when his best friend was killed, but act out the scene in front of a camera. And few scenes are shot with one take.

@robertlucky781 3 жыл бұрын

@@clydesuckfinger7097 Agree with everything you wrote. According to some biographers, he DIDN'T want to play himself because he thought it was 'arrogant', and also didn't want people to think that that he was trying to 'cash in' on his status as the most-decorated soldier of the war. He wanted his friend Tony Curtis for the role, and had to be 'talked into' doing the role by Curtis and other friends as well as the director. I think that he also didn't want to relive some of the horrors he had to live through during the war, and I also wonder if doing the role possibly made his PTSD worse than it already was. Regardless, he had STERLING courage, was incredibly humble (it shows through in this video), and also was an outstanding good example of positive character and moral values.

Audie Murphy certainly suffered from PTSDs..., he was boyish, quiet but he was easy to trigger..... He was also a "flirt" as they said back in the day. He never went to bed without a 1911 under the pillow. I met him in Nashville just before he passed in a plane crash. With a load of gambling debts and some real business deals that were awry, he would just about do anything that would raise a buck. He was in Nashville doing a telethon for a children's charity. For 3 Bucks you could get an autograph, and 5 a photograph OP. He was very gracious and you could tell he was tired after a 3 day event. He was very patient and kind to a bunch of star-eyed Boy Scouts... Tony Curtis and Eddie Fisher were scared to death of him.... During the making of Night Passage, Jimmy Stewart and Audie Murphy spent a lot of time talking and reflecting..... He saw the worst and the best of men as so many did, and have in all the wars...... He was a fella who rose to the occasion and served his country and mates well... We all have our haunts, and those that saw the elephant have a boat load.... He looked us in the eye, shook our hands, smiled. An older kid, a Sophomore asked if there was any advice he could share with us.... I recall A.M. raising his eyebrows for a second, looked us over and said: "Fellas, there will be occasions that doing something stupid will come your way, try to figure out which ones are stupid and avoid them....." "Listen to your heart and your head, if they are telling something is wrong; it is...." He had a firm handshake and I thanked him for the autograph. He looked at me straightaway, and said "you are most welcome...." I guess it was few days later we were watching Huntley and Brinkley and they said that Audie Murphy was killed in a plane crash outside of Roanoke..... I know that A.M. left Nashville and went to Atlanta that would take them on a trip for some sort of investment. I remember there was talk about recent bankruptcy and that Murphy was on a business trip.... That May of 1971 had been very cool and rainy.... We who had just met him were all very sad, I remember the tears from my mother's face, we all had them....

When Audie entered the shop, my dad couldn't believe it...My dad loved westerns and knew about Audie's war explotes. They hung out for a few days before Audie went to Yorkshire as he was looking into his family tree. As they were both servicemen and both got hit by enemy action, they got on like a house on fire😃

Audie grew up VERY poor and I think without a father at home. He attended a one room school with multiple grade classes. He carried his .22 cal rifle to school each day and on his way home he shot dinner. He only had a few rounds (could not afford more) which means he had only 1-2 shots to provide for the family. He honed his rifle skills and it always took one round. He took those skills with him at 16-17 years old into the infantry. He survived the war as the highest decorated soldier in history. He was humble, smart, brave, horonable and true. He went thru hell and back and died on a small private plane crash in 1972. I live just outside his former ranch in Southern California.

RealDeal Badass. Made some great movies. "Ride Clear Of Diablo," with Dan Duryea, one of my favorite movies, period. He sure made a bunch of great films; a number are favorites of mine.... Destry, Posse From Hell, No Name On The Bullet.... there is a list, more, for sure. He was a poet, as well. I read some of his poetry. Moving. I really appreciate who he was and is, what he did. They broke the mold. As I get older (69 as of this writing), and look around me, what is going on.... Audie Murphy just gets Larger. Spoken as an American, born in Phoenix, Arizona. Yet Audie Murphy is a universal... someone people all over the world can appreciate. When his movies are on broadcast tv, roku, youtube, and I am watching and my wife sits down to watch (she is from another country) I tell her how he was tougher and more badass than the parts he was/is playing. She knows and respects him as well. Yep. They broke the mold.

Audie had such sever PTSD that after Hollywood and during it, he turned to alcohol and gambling as a release. For his actions in WWII were so "out of the box" no one even believed he was still alive. He's to be honored and respected no matter what and his sacrifice and bravery was his blessing on behalf of this blessed nation.

Audie Murphy was the epitome of the “Greatest Generation”. Even living through the toughest of tough upbringing, he wanted to do what he could to help win the war. Turned down at first, he persevered until he was accepted. Despite having to overcome all of his short comings, no pun intended, he was able to gain the respect and even the admiration of his fellow soldiers. Every medal he earned was earned while to protect his fellow soldiers. Who jumps into a burning tank destroyer and holds off an entire German advance so his team has time to retreat and set up defensive position? Only someone who cares for his men so much he was willing to make whatever sacrifice necessary to win. Did he deserve his medals, yes. Did he think he did, as it was with all highly decorated soldiers, he defers credit to others. Unfortunately, after earning so much making films, he was given bad investment advice and lost a majority of his fortune. He, as many other veterans did and continue to, suffered greatly from PTSD. In his own way he tried to deal with it, sometime successfully, sometimes not.

I was a long-haired hippie in the 70s but I thank GOD I grew up surrounded by the Greatest Generation. We've gone from the Greatest Generation to this generation of moral degenerates and whining offended crybabies. "Jack Elam" Why can't I ever remember this guys name. Elam was a genuinely nice guy and good friends with Audie Murphy. Audie Murphy (Jack Elam) Story Audie Murphy was the real deal. There's a story by Jack Elam, who was a good friend of Murphys, about when they were up in Idyllwild near where I live. Getting a drink in some bar. Three guys came in one of them started hassling Elam. Pulled him by the back of his hair and said he needed a hair cut. "Audie spun around and hit him and never said a word" He mentions that Audie was short and that these guys were big. They took one look at Audie Murphy, picked up their friend and got the hell out of the bar. I've got an article with a picture: He picked this guy up who was walking in a rain storm. The guy stuck a gun in his side and slapped him in the mouth. Tells him he's going to steal his car. When they pull into a gas station Audie decides to fight. This guy is like six feet six inches tall. Both the cop and Audie in the picture are staring UP at the guy. Who is a frigging Mess. Audie beat the holy crap out of him. The caption in the article mentions Audie looks like he's ready to go to a movie premier. He ends up escaping but Audie and this cop overpower him as he's wrestling with some woman he's trying to steal clothes from. I had the same thing happen to me once except I was doing a part time job as a security guard. This guy came up to my desk with his hand in his shirt saying he had a gun and would kill me if I didn't open the pharmacy in this medical building I was watching. This ended up almost the same way accept this “hero” ended up puking his guts out in front of a bunch of nurses after I had dragged him into the adjoining hospital. Broke my damn glasses when he sucker punched me. Originally Posted by Wallabies With a firearm, no reports of his hand to hand skills. www.military-quotes.com/forum/audie-murphy-bio-epic-coming-t80608.html There are many instances of Audie and his "hand to hand" skills, particularly post-war. This is from an interview with the actor Jack Elam of Western movie film fame. Here he comments about Murphy: "He wasn’t afraid of anybody. One time we were up in Idyllwild on some show. It’d have to be "RIDE CLEAR OF DIABLO", I guess. Audie was the star of the picture so he had his own car, and he said, “Jack, ride in with me tonight.” Cause I had to ride in a station wagon with three other guys. So he said, “Come on with me, Jack.” Anyway, we came down off the hill from Idyllwild and we hit Hemet, a little town at the foot of the hills. Because it was a western, I had a week’s growth of beard and the long hair, which today would be short. Anyway, we stopped at a bar for a drink. Audie didn’t drink. But I said “Gimme a straight shot of Cutty Sark.” And Audie ordered a straight shot of Cutty Sark and a Coke chaser. We were sitting at the bar and that way he could just slip me his drink. It would look like he was drinking so he didn’t have to explain to the bartender, “I only want a Coke.” Anyway, some guy came down from a table at the end and walked behind me. And I had this hair, you know. And the guy got ahold of the back of my hair and squeezed it and said, “You need a haircut, buddy.” And he touched the back of my head. And Audie spun around and hit him and never said a friggin’ word. Just hit him. And he went flat. And the guy was with two other guys at a table down at the other end of the room. And the guys got up and they looked at Audie - and you know Audie was short - and these guys were big guys. He just looked at `em. Not a word. They picked their friend up- he was kind of coming together -and they left the bar. We figured we might be meeting them after we finished my drinks, on the way to the car. But there was no sign of `em. They were gone. I mean, they knew they don’t mess with Audie Murphy at that point. They could tell. He had that attitude about him of “Don’t tread on me.” 8-22-17 Here's a coincidence: I ordered an obscure book online after reading about it in an article; Gods, Graves and Scholars by C.W. Ceram. A book about the history of archaeology. (A TERRIFIC book) I'm about halfway through it when I'm watching the movie Brotherhood of the Rose with Robert Mitchum. And at about twenty three minutes into the movie this book is used a code breaker in the movie. What are the chances...?
