In 1965, I was an abused child, age 8, who would come home from school and watch Combat... it had taken me along to a better world for just a little while. Then after the show was over, I would get kicked out of our home and told not to come back again until it got dark. I'd have to walk around, all alone. I grew to love all the characters on Combat as if they were like my family. They were honest, honorable role models to me. Some tv shows don't just entertain.

There are children who mature in the shadow of a more notable parent. Sometimes the children will rise above it, while other children will make a living, sheltered behind. Many a Combat episodes offer a good lesson. As always, I enjoyed the writing and actors. Top notch.

My cousin grew up in the combat shadow of my uncle. Italian campaign and Battle of the Bulge when he got hit. He narrated stories of clandestine patrols in Laos and Cambodia where he was shot in the chest supposedly. It was all stolen valor. 2 hours after my uncle died he shot himself in the head. I talked to the VFW liasion to congress who told me not to confront him prior to this. Afterward I went back and asked him how did you know. Simple answer was he built himself up to be a hero he wasn't and when my uncle died his natural death at 93 his son couldn't face the scrutiny that would reveal 4 decades of fraud.

@@stevenwaskul9697 I am very sorry to read of this. I don't know why people will pose a fantasy. I myself often wondered about my own Godfather who brought up stories in childhood. As an adult and the internet, I soon found that he described places he could not have been a part of, yet he handed a down a scrapbook to his son. It held photographs he took with a Brownie. A tank driver; Africa into Germany. Also his bronze stars, purple hearts and commendations. That scrapbook contains the most horrific photos, anybody would want to see. We suspect that his tales replaced very hard truths, he could not ever be able to describe.

My nickname is "Kirby"... grew up watching this and it was the highlight of the week. We never saw any full season here and I never realised there were so many episodes. Some cringe worthy stuff and some of it is really passe' BUT there is a definite moral to the human story behind the character's, guest star's and event's of each episode. It will always remind me of my late father and the time's we shared, watching "Combat" is a real journey back to my childhood and also reminds me of how enchanted that was, despite the fact that we didn't have a lot, but we had love.

This episode has a very high rating with viewers on IMDB and for good reason. What I really liked about this episode is the learning lesson that going by the book is sometimes very smart because the book has been created and assembled by learned men. So in this episode the very young Lt. Benton is going by the book ...with good results. This also happened in "Saving Private Ryan" when Tom Hanks character uses the training manual to create a "sticky bomb" to disable a German tank at the end of the movie. No one else in his platoon knows anything about sticky bombs but the school teacher turned Officer Tom Hanks knows enough about sticky bombs to disable this German tank.

The key to this show is Saunders' MBTI INFJ personality. With dominant introverted intuition combined with introverted thinking that gives him great foresight and planning. His secondary extroverted feeling is realized in his deep concern for squad hierarchy and survival of his men. Note Sarge's subtle facial expressions and remarks allowing him to zero in on squad sentiment, fears and concerns. Morrow's acting awesome. Made the show. Jason as Hanley didn't have this. Also, go back and note the piquancy of the orchestral accompaniment which is superb to match the moment to moment tensions and relief. Also

The special effects person was outstanding. I also love how all Germans spoke German and not English. So realistic.

If we ever have to fight a worthy opponent I don't think the modern Army would have a clue. One casualty and everyone would freeze in stunned silence until they got counseling and Xanax...

what this green inexperienced 2nd Looey was nothing short of brilliant. He knew the Germans would be hunting an American forward observer, so he set up one place, and knowing the Krauts would direction-find the position, abandoned the pos and left the equipment for them to find, and report that the FO had fled, leaving his gear behind, meanwhile a half mile away the real FO position is set up just waiting for the big gun to come out. His only mistake was 1) not letting the squad in on the plan from the get-go. Yes I know in combat, you are supposed to question orders, just carry them out, but every good leader knows that his men will follow him if they know what his intent is. and 2) not abandoning the position fast enough before the Kraut artillery started shelling them. What I really like seeing was the procedure for registering in the artillery using known points visible and identifiable on the map

One of my post-retirement "between jobs jobs" was driving a taxi. During the Obamination era, we had a sizeable influx of, well, not to put too fine a point on it, potential enemy personnel. There is a concentration point where said personnel regularly gather. One young-ish member of said group was a regular patron of the taxi company; after I had driven him a few times he started requesting me. That happens. About the fourth round trip to this enemy personnel concentration point, he asked me, with a smirk, whether I knew "what that place is". I tried to channel Morrow's voice as I replied, "Sure - that's TRP1." He didn't get it, and after I dropped him off I had to call every former FO I knew and tell them about it. I also started referring to that location as such on the company radio net. Several of the drivers were veterans and enjoyed that immensely.

Looking at the title I see that this is 29th episode of the season which highlights one of the reasons that TV was better in olden days. Now you get three or four episodes and a break of a month or two and then a few more followed by another break and then a few more again. If you are lucky a current show has 20 episodes a year, some only have 12 or 14. Another thing is that in olden days, nearly every episode stood by itself so if you missed on, you weren't lost.

Marshall recoiled and told Ike, "My name is GENERAL MARSHALL!" Ike called him "General" for the rest of his life. I recommend The Victors to anyone interested in WWII history; the book is a compendium of elements of Ambrose's other books about the War, arranged in a cohesive, chronological timeline. Ike is necessarily the central figure, and there is much insight into the way he conceived and ran the ETO.

Who would you want to play Sargent Saunders and Lieutenant Hanly?? No one could do it like Morrow or Jason could in these Combat episodes. Just wouldn’t be the same. Also modern movie technology today! What can I say; these back and white episodes are good. I like the use of the historical film footage too, even if they keep repeating the same thing over & over in many episodes.

I'm bingeing every episode from 1:1 and I'm here right now (09-11-22). I've been thinking about this question all along. Berenson obviously modeled his onscreen persona after Saunders, but he's a little long in the tooth. Too bad, because he could have been believable. Bruce Willis and Tom Hanks are getting too old as well. The primary current actor I could suggest for Saunders would be Odenkirk. The way he trained for and acted in "Nobody" would make him a good candidate. Now, Hanley? Maybe, and I cringe saying this due to his early stoner persona, but just maybe Keanu Reeves, since his character in the John Wick series (Баба́йка) has matured him (I suspect as much the training he's done as the role's mindset factors).

I've watched several of these shows, and I'm a big fan of 1950's movies, because they don't have foul language or nudity. I'm not saying it didn't exist, as there were a few "Silver Screen" films with content just as bad as what you see today, only in black and white, but those are rare, and not something I look for. I've been a gamer for life, and I was commenting on some kids language, and he surprised me by telling me its a war game, where people are dying, so of course foul language is supposed to fit in, ...but I haven't heard any foul language in these 1950's war movies, so it must be a new thing.

@@edbecka233 That's true, my friend, in so many cases, including my own as well. Just speaking for me, I've been able to rid myself of my own older traditions of the occasional slip of the mouth. I think when people, like even in my family, notice we don't use profanity, they feel out of place when they do, and refrain just out of friendship or love. It's a two-way street as well, when they do use foul language, we ignore it out of love, based on their relation to us, and the circumstances of our encounter, whether they are family members, or friends of the family, or just acquaintances, versus the common person that we are in close proximity to. I guess it's based on personal conviction we have for one another, whether we prefer peace, or conflict. We prefer peace and love by example, rather than to say, "don't talk like that or your, going to hell". Don't get me wrong, I do believe in Jesus, but "Repent or go to hell" hasn't had much success.

I've seen FOs set up acoustic directional scopes in several locations, cross multiple intersecting azmuiths on a map, and fire at targets miles away with out ever seeing the target. They adjusted fire using the same method listening to the rounds impact. I think this was a Hollywood abreviated version of that method of fire control. They dont have to see the gun they're firing at or the rounds of our guns impacting. Just hearing them is enough. I've witnessed it!

Hi Sarg- Perhaps you might be able to address something which has been bugging me about the Combat series: Why is it that whenever 'we' knock out a strong hold belonging to 'them', we don't take their weapons? It seems to me that a machine gun, grenades or a bazooka, plus ammo would come in handy at the next go-round. But no, they walk away with a BAR and their M-1s. Is that really how things were done or is it just an oversight on the part of the writers?

@soldtobediers 7 жыл бұрын

i'd reckon writer oversight of the last. As you said... it would well have made for a more logical portrayal of Saunders squad to have used @ least the grenades, or disabled the defeated German's array of firearms from being later utilized on their fellow U.S. infantrymen. Instances of our Soldiers using the enemy's weaponry, certainly must have occurred from time to time, especially the Luger pistol. Given the fact that, when even empty... it was a great bartering tool among fellow soldiers. The old saying "Adapt and Overcome" went a long way when any Soldier on either side, runs out of ammo. From my 71-74 model experience... Once the objective was secured. The next order of business was to redistribute our ammo evenly within the squad and stand ready for any counter attack. Meanwhile designated members of the squad searched for, and seized, any enemy documentation/mappings etc. Then demo any enemy arms and ammo left on the objective before moving out.

This show aired every weeknight on our local UHF station in the mid-late 70's. If it was on we'd watch it with great intensity. If it wasn't on we would not watch it, and without any intensity either. If it was on but with an episode that billed Rick Jason first, then my friend would call the station and threatened them to have a Morrow first-billed epidode on the next day if they knew what was good for them. And that's what always happened. But we were not sure if it was because they were intimidated by the phone call, or because of the back and forth rotation between the first-billing of Jason and Morrow. There was one in our group who we suspected of liking the Jason episodes better, but we could never prove it to a certainty.
