Vietnam had some crazy heroism during battle. I have an uncle who was nominated for a Medal of Honor but received a Silver Star instead (second highest award which is still a high honor and typically rewarded for a feat of valor that can’t be independently verified by enough spectators for the MOH) for defending a field hospital during an attack by himself. He was a medic who didn’t really fight but had to when the hospital was attacked.

@repeter 3 жыл бұрын

The Silver Star is the third highest award. For the Army, the Distinguished Service Cross, for the Navy and Marine Corps its the Navy Cross is the 2nd highest award. The Silver Star is the third and above the Bronze Star. The Silver Star can only be awarded for Valor, while the Bronze Star can be awarded or Valor (which is the V Device on it) the other is for Achievement or Merit. Usually awarded to at the end of a tour (in my opinion these usually go to senior enlisted and officers). I hope I'm not coming across harshly but just wanted you to be aware. The Silver Star is still an amazing award, and rarely awarded. It is always a difficult award to "earn"/be awarded. There is a lot to be proud of for that award. Much respect to him.

@josephbridges7470 3 жыл бұрын

@@repeter I was never in any service so I don’t know the particulars of awards. I just know the few times he talked about Vietnam, my uncle wasn’t very proud of killing people. He wanted to just be a medic and help the wounded, but got stuck in several situations where he had to just be a standard soldier or die. He received lots of medals. From his display, I remember the Silver Star and a Purple Heart among several others. My other uncle, the aforementioned uncle’s brother, was in the army rangers during Vietnam. He refuses to talk at all about combat and will leave the room if someone brings it up. The only thing I’ve found out about his service is that he was wounded twice during combat. I have another uncle who served in the coast guard and my dad was in the Navy during Vietnam, but they had pretty uneventful times in the service.

@repeter 3 жыл бұрын

@@josephbridges7470 most don't celebrate killing the enemy, even if it had to be done. Unfortunately Vietnam was bad for service men and women returning as they were not given any kind of assistance. Plus after doing all that to come back to an ungrateful nation that questioned and accused them. Most veterans rarely open up about their service, because its impossible to put into words that a normal person can understand, but sometimes they will open up more with other veterans. Things have gotten little better since then, society accepts service more now, but don't understand still. There is some help available now, but its often crude and ineffective as veterans still don't want to open up to a "shrink" that has never done service, let alone seen battle or death upclose. I know myself, i don't always open up even with some other veterans because so few have seen combat, even if deployed. You can read the award citations, but even that rarely explains it as deeply. A lot of troops see these awards not as a showcase of bravery, or valor, but as the worst days of their life. The day everything went completely wrong and lost friends, so they won't always want to relive it. And its a constant reminder of what happened. There are lots of other reasons its not talked about or as understood, but I think those are some of the main factors. Very few have the reference for even understanding, no matter how well intentioned. And fewer are able to describe it so it could be understood. Survivor's guilt. Too much pain.

@ryanhampson673 3 жыл бұрын

Many vets don’t like to talk to people that haven’t served about their stories..I was Army and I’ve had people open up to me rather than their family, primarily because we all went through the same shit and could understand….The saying “you couldn’t know, you weren’t there” is kind of true. Not trying to sound high and mighty but some things can’t be put into words they just have to be experienced to understand.

Hello. This is from your bull riding wrecks from a couple of months ago. I placed it here because you asked for comments for other suggestions about rodeos. In just watching the wrecks you don't really understand what you are seeing . Hello pards, Greetings from Texas. FYI The ground men are rodeo clowns (their main job is rescue work) while the man horse back is called the pick up man. One of his jobs is penning all of the animals after each run. But his main job is picking up the bare back and saddle bronc riders after their ride. THe bull rider dismounts the best way he can after his 8 seconds. The cowboys riding rough stock horses on the other hand generally bail off on the back of the pick up mans horse as he runs up beside the running bucking horse. That in itself is quite an amazing feat. Do yourself a favor and watch a compilation video on bull riding , bare back riding , and saddle bronc riding. There's nothing more beauiful than watching a great saddle bronc ride. Horse and rider come together in like a beautiful ballet . Wonderful. Nothing better.

A few USN ships were sunk with the loss of many American sailors' lives in a ridiculously lopsided battle that saw the Japanese Battleship Yamato and her battlegroup retreating . Of note is CDR E. Ernest Evans , Captain of the USS Johnston . He received a MOH for his crews actions that day , at the price of his ship , his life , and many of his crew . Edit .
