Wonderfully Stated. And, While I Hope I'm Wrong here; it's sad and unfortunate that one of those panelists "tonite" (Rob. Lewis) was more often than not an arrogant haughty jerk,. Unfortunately

The late John Daly was one of the all-time great game show hosts.

One thing I liked about "What's My Line?" is that it wasn't a 'big money' game show. The top prize on that show was just fifty dollars!

I'll

I agree, you don’t see fine gentlemen like that today! ❤️

THANK YOU from across the pond. God bless you and all your brave soldiers.

Agreed !!!

So glad Ike bankrupted the UK.

I'm proud to call him my Great Uncle.

One of my favorite movies.

@@jmurphy68463 you have great DNA ....

wow

That's awesome. Truly an American Hero💘🇺🇸

And a movie star.

God bless them all, for what they did for us all

He was trained on a .22. My Dad could put a bullet through a bird’s eye at 20 paces. I bet with his M-1 he could hit any target he could see.

Like Sgnt.York in WWI. Born in Kentucky. Born in a poor family too. He was a marksmen with a gun. Even before entering the military. Contrary to what people thought he wasn't a conscious abjecter about WWI. His Mother & Minister wanted to keep him out of the war. Sargent York Wanted to fight.Chose to fight.

He died near Roanoke and Blacksburg! Sad end for a national hero!

I don't doubt Murphy's bravery but I don't think "marksmanship" played a significant role in his heroics. More like initiative, courage and automatic weapons.

Free eh. You know the US has 4% of the world's population and 20% of the world's prisoners. These are used as slaves. You dope

@@zapkvr That's because we are tougher on sex crimes.

@@zapkvr Without Audie Murphy and others like him Germany would have won and exterminated and imprisoned much of the world in concentration camps you ungrateful bastard

@@zapkvr Slaves? What work are they performing you socialist idiot? They are a drain on the taxpayer.

@@zapkvr that 20 percent never learned history. Idiot.

Not this Texas girl! He was my idol on the screen with his velvety Texas accent and boyish good looks.

Love this man from day one July 1945 picture on Life Magazine, I was only 9 never forgot him

What? He was shorter, but looked great...so handsome.

@@vivians9392 Being short comes with a lot of social challenges, that's what I assume the original commentor meant.

Yes ... and even the military turned him down on his first attempt to enlist for WWII due to being too underweight ... so maybe that should go for the military as well.

Absolutely agree! 💯

@StarvedHorror: He was the most decorated soldier of World War 2. You should read up about him. He was utterly amazing. There is nobody like him.

@Savannah Rey unfortunately that is what must be done to win a war! Kill or be killed, if you have not served and been deployed you have no clue.

@James Henderson yeah and Santa Claus was the leader...

@@markharrison2544Are you a complete idiot?

I don't know if you are aware of this but a lot of people don't know who he was. I can understand if they are in their thirties or less but most of the people who are near my age, 60 don't know who he is. He was my inspiration to join the military. It was probably the best thing that I have ever done in my lifetime

I have it's almost hard to believe he's real. There are heroes then every once in a while through out history there comes some one like him and not often.

His awards are read at the end of To Hell and Back. His last Purple Heart kept him from West Point but I think he could have gotten a appointment if his uncle Harry wrote it.

No, he wanted to stay with his men.,My dad was in WW II and all of them are heroes. Lost a

Well spoken!

Paso... You mean that you want to have more killing machines for the establishment...

Paso Parent and patriotic

I visited his grave also back in 1987. My Dad first told me about him. I was just a kid when I seen his first movie Red Badge of Courage. Then I think it was 1955 when Hell and Back came out.

@@redblade43 , You sir, need to learn some history. It was men and women of Audie Murphy's generation that saved the world from Fascist dictatorship.

The states help to win, your country did not win WW2 , there were other countries. And my country and other countries were there at the beginning.

@Savannah Rey who was the right enemy ??

You took your sweet time getting into the war. Just like WW1 you think you are better than the rest of the world. Well wake up buddy because you are not no country is great not my country. Not any country. @The Bibliognost

I never said that I hate the U.S. You just think that your country is special which it isn't. My country isn't special either. @The Bibliognost

@@supernikki12100 This is not about "countries," but the amazing bravery and leadership of one 19 year old boy, fighting for his country!!

(Arlington is in Virginia)

just dont put an M1 Garande into his hands!!!!

Audie Murphy was the best male actor in the world an he stood up for our country , what a great man he was , I'll never forget him

I was ten weeks old when this first aired. Good display of what America I was born into.

Rose Dalton, it would be kind of difficult to forget Audie Murphy, since there is a highly distinguished military award named after him.

@@artygunnarhE Actually he carried an M1 Carbine most of the war.

God bless you. Audie most likely looking down and saying, "Just doing my job. Like everybody else". What a guy!!! 🥰🥰🥰

A totally amazing gentleman and major USArmy. Most decorated soldier ever. Incredible warrior. Suffered from depression most of his life. Truly great American. Missed by America and always shall be!

Not Hard at ALL !! JUST LOOK UP FORMER POW EVERETT ALVAREZ USAF !!🤔

@@eldaddio9100 The most decorated soldier in US history isn't hard at all? Ok keyboard warrior...

@@ernesthendrickson7379 He wasn't a warrior. He was a soldier.

Brother Texan, you know that all us Texans are badass men.

Me, too (born in '43). I'm a Texan, too, and I loved his smooth, Texas-born voice.

Wow I would be proud too.

A great inspiration. My Dad followed his actions going in a year later. 16 imitating 17 only when he was in Korea he missed getting the CMH when LTC Don Faith received it posthumously. He told me about a General asking if there was any medal Murphy didn't get and the reply was Yes one, then the General said then put him in for that one too. My grandfather in WW I also came up with a false birthdated document to get him into action but at 15 in the 82nd.

Tennessee and Oklahoma was home to great heroes.

Mike Scott Singh o9

@@mtsflorida Audie Murphy was born in Greenville TX.

Great respect!

That was and still would be a convention

During the filming, GEN Mark Clark came to the set and was introduced to Murphy. Since both were in uniform, Clark waited for Murphy to salute. After several seconds, Clark finally realized that Murphy was wearing his Medal of Honor ribbon. Murphy then waited as long to return the salute as Clark did to give it.

It's the same with God.

I wish the present young generation would not need his principles

No chance, all woke retards

Yes, people were classy back then. I love looking at the old pictures of my mom & her sisters, they wore some awesome clothes!

A kid who killed and wounded alot of nazis

My good man Max, As a veteran, I respectfully must correct on your context of winning a medal during combat. You are awarded the Medal of Honor and the Distinguished Service Medal and all the other medals available to the military. Remember, Audie wasn't in a competition. He served our country with distinction and honor in both WWII and Korea. May he RIP.

@Max Acree, Audie Murphy actually won 25 awards and medals; all before he even turned 19. The Army presented them to him after his 19th birthday.

@@annacronism He didn't "win" them. He EARNED them. Big difference.

We are not safe without constant vigilance. We are free because of men like Murphy.

I'd prefer a band of brothers or Pacific type mini series there's so much to his story the war his movie carrer,alcoholism,advatcy for ptsd and his tragic early death a film wouldn't do it justice

@@GrosvnerMcaffrey True.

@@twinsonic BMW?

@@twinsonic yeah, you would think if someone is so in love with a person, they would at least know how to spell his name correctly. (BTW, I'm cheap and buy Toyotas.)

@@twinsonic Yes, but I prefer American Cars and American heroes.

@@twinsonic The word you seemed to have wanted was "spelled"...(spelt....really?) And I did spell his name correctly.

@UC_f6xluD35gylyx5TMPt-OQ You must be a very tiny insecure little man...you have been nit picking & looking for a fight & attention from the first moment. You are pathetic. My TYPO was changed long ago. I was in an advanced college prep class, we had no time to waste with typing. I had my own secretary by age 24. And don't try to give us that "I'm from the south" BS story, LOL!...South where?! Not the American south. And why would anyone compare a human being to a BMW? That's of course why I said "BMW?". You don't make normal connections. Do not contact me again

As a kid it was the ultimate compliment to be called your a real Audie Murphy. Kids today would scratch their head at a once common expression. Being a hero is probably never and easy life to live but I so admire Audie.

@@roybernardo9946 Being a Mom, I am so sorry his Mother didn't live to see her son become a hero! She would have been treated like a queen in Texas...

Yes, she was awarded a healthy settlement 2 years after Audie's untimely death.

By his own account he was allergic to alcohol and could not drink a drop without becoming inebriated. It took him a while to learn that about himself. Some people are just like that.

So, he was a man.

Who the hell are you to criticize him?? He had chronic untreated severe depression his whole life. Suggestion, shut up if you are ignorant. Okay???

Psychiatrist;; he was chronically depressed. Okay??

He was plagued by demons. I think he liked westerns because it let him put on display his physicality. I have read an interview with a stuntman/actor who was a good friend. He was much bigger than Audie, but Murphy had the advantage of wonderful hands eye co-ordination and lighting reflexes. He said that he had hands like a woman but when he and his friend had a contest, Audie could empty a six-gun while his friend could get off just 3-4 rounds. He also has this ability like a great quarterback visually to take in a scene and make sense of it in just a second and make a decision what to do. Which is why he was up on that burning tank -destroyer before others were able to act. He would have made a great Spiderman

SSArcher11 Thank you for this post ♥️

No, Bennett never served in any of the armed forces. He was in his high school cadet team, but back then all boys were in that. There is a photo of him in cadet uniform. He attended university during WWI, and likely had the equivalent of the S-2 draft deferment for students. These were usually good for one university or college degree, but were often abused. Mitt Romney for example, went through two deferments, couldn’t get another so went to France as a “missionary” which his politician dad arranged a special deferment for. But Vietnam went on too long, so after that expired, Romney went on to get another two student draft deferments. It’s all who you know.

@@petemarshall8094 My mistake. I thought I saw it referenced somewhere.

@@SSArcher11 Thanks. It is often referenced on the WML Facebook page when somebody posts the photo of Bennett in cadet uniform. Though we've forgotten, it wasn't long ago when every high school and college had a cadet corps.

@@petemarshall8094 I'd read that he was an Army lieutenant with an east coast assignment.

True, yes, about Audie's friend, Lattie Tipton. I read in Don Graham's excellent biography of Audie, "No Name on the Bullet," that Audie never understood why Lattie stood on seeing the "surrender flag," since ordinarily Lattie wasn't inclined to fall for such a trick. At any rate, after his death, Audie never got so close to anyone during the war.

@maskedmarvyl4774: Thanks for that information.

@ironduke2000: And thank you for that information.

Do not use all caps. It is very rude.

Are you serious!!! Shut the hell up!!!🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🐘🐼🐕🐬🐳🐅🐻🐖🐄

Edith...He was dirt poor. He went to work when only a boy to support his mother and siblings, moving them in an abandoned box car, If I remember right. Bless him...But there is another most decorated soldier and wonderful man, Sergeant York, WW1...

Lance. Who decided upper caps are rude? It isn't like your wasting ink. Besides, a person 82 has an easier time reading it. Just saying..

Edith... He was used as a killing machine to do the dirty work of the establishment and there is nothing to be proud of in that you stupid woman!

No, he did not fight in Korea! Europe was more than enough for him. He started making movies in 1949.

Yes, he is the man. And my eyes are now bleeding after reading the all the capitalizations, exclamation points and emojis.

he would have talked about other things . he was to humble to speak of his own heroics .. you learned nothing of studying him .. first and forelost he did not do it for fame or fortune he did it because he was a patriotic American fighting tyranny

He was an NRA life member

How many Germans did John Wayne kill in WW2?

SO TRUE

That shows how far we have fallen....

We can keep his name alive ourselves. Pass it down thru the generations of our family. We need to be the ones who teach them , not society.

Connie Doan true that, none of my classmates in highschool ever heard of him. I do think that they should teach story about him in history classes.

@@peterthawng5404 .....I agree , but sad to say that will never happen. They are already wanting to take much of the history out of teaching as it is. Our country will never be as it once was. I agree with you. Audie Murphy was an American hero , and should be known by all as other famous military men. Even more so! If I hadn't had a mother that loved him in movies , and told me about his military background , I may not know who he was as many others don't. Very sad!

...and notice how he always waits and lets the host answer any question that centers on his performance or possible accolades, I'm sure out of modesty. Sad that a boy (just 30-31 when this was filmed 10 yrs after the war) raised like that (and in a broken home with no father), gently by an old school mom and having to provide for younger siblings, had to be exposed and damaged by mad men and their wars. He never really recovered from it all. His nature on display here (and totally genuine) seems almost alien today...at least from what you'd see in entertainment or pop culture (which this show was back then, amazingly).

At the time of this filming it was proper for a lady to remain seated while greeting a gentleman.

@@kendawa2918 Very true. But I was around back then (just barely), and I would have just stood up anyway. But everyone on this show always has perfect decorum. And their speech - I guess we'll never hear proper diction, etc., like that again!

They should give mr. Murphy a salute.🤩🤩🤩

You can tell that they had a different attitude toward him than usual guests. He was treated with 100% respect and admiration, u can see it in their words, voice and body language

His wounds kept him from attending the USMA. Because of his heroisms, the USMA appointment was his to have but the wounds disqualified him

You are confusing him With Eddie Murphy

James Arness, who was a foot taller, had the same problem.

Who is eddie Murphy?

@@DIANNEELEE Hahahahaha! Good one!

He is my hero too. Eight years old going to the drive in to see all his pictures. Just loved him everything about him pure class. Miss him too. Greatful for all he did for us.

He was 30. He was just 20 when he won all of his medals.

Dallas is still a long way off. Development toward Greenville has been slow.

Many an unsung American hero served in Vietnam. Heroism and patriotism are not simply determined by fame or the number of medals awarded.

Did he have a vision he was going to die soon?

Everybody should go to Arlington..just being there is an awesome experience! You are surrounded by heros. Go on July 4th,Veterans Day. All graves are decoated with our flags. Of those who wore theMedal of Honor there is a blue flag. Be ready to weep.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I sure hope he wasn't a Freemason. I know about Freemasonry and there fake gods.

How did they acquire those medals. He had given them all away to kids.

Connie Doan Maybe his children donated his medals to the Cathedral, or maybe they were just on display there for a while as part of some exhibition celebrating his story?

That place has already been filled by Jesus. Besides , Audie Murphy was too humble to want special treatment , and God is no respector of persons. He loves us all equally.

@@conniedoan6917 But it's undeniable to me that God chose that humble orphan boy to be a hero for his country, like no other in his time.

@@vivians9392 .....Orphan boy?

Definitely not! I find the walk down the panel charming, but regardless, I do think it was wise that it was ultimately dropped. We still get to see that gentility in manners at the end of the segments though, when the contestants are leaving. I'm so glad you're finding yourself hooked. It's an addictive show. I really miss the days when this used to air on GSN late at night. Perfect way to wind down before going to sleep!

I cringe every time it happens. Not a fan of sexism

daisyflowerrose2005 Aw, come on. This isn't like seeing performers in black face. The only "sexist" element of this is that the male panelists stand up to greet the female contestants, and the female panelists don't. It was the accepted standard for manners back then and meant purely as a sign of respect. Yes, it's totally outdated. But I'm amazed anyone could find it offensive enough to cringe every time! :)

Blain Johnson I've deleted your comment personal attacking daisyflowerrose2005. You can disagree without being insulting.

Blain Johnson I've never deleted a comment for using words like "dumb" or "crap", I have NO idea where you're getting that from. In the history of this channel, I've deleted maybe 5 comments so far. As far as whether you were being insulting, you made comments about the personality and personal life of another user, saying things like "I'm sure you don't have any friends in real life with that attitude". I will continue to delete any comments that insult me or any other user, unconditionally. If feeling free to express your opinion means that you need to insult other people to do so, I see it as no great loss if you stop commenting or unsubscribe. But that was not my intent. My intent was exactly what I wrote to you-- to communicate that it's fine if you disagree, but you can comment to that effect without insulting people. People read things how they want to, so if you choose to read my comment the way you have, there's nothing more I can do about it.

jtx38 imagine if he did Join the corps. Odds are he woulda died on Iwo Jima or some other shit island. One step in a different direction and that coulda been it, let alone a whole new branch/theater of war. World would have never knew his name.

Also the Navy.

Audie Murphy's brother and sister kept praying for Audie no matter what while they're in orphanage that's why Audie came home alive

@@antonchigurh2930 Prayer helped but also determination not to get killed and wounded. Also he suffered ptsd, to bad god didn't help him with that.

@@briancooper2112 earth wasn't a paradise both evil and good exist in this world. Audie Murphy fought a good fight against ptsd

Do you think Audie had any real experience in those matters?

As a Marine and WW2 veteran, Hugh O’Brian had the utmost respect for Audie Murphy, as did every other star of television Westerns who, like Dale Robertson and James Arness, were wounded in combat.

Your damn right he is!
