Can you imagine the swishy “actors” we have now doing what Audy and other combat veteran actors had to do? Those guys were real men. What we have now are trendies and metro-sexuals. pathetic.

There’s a video I saw of Murphy being interviewed in the 60s about his war experiences. The interviewer tried his best to get Audie to talk about his battles and medals and what it was like being a hero. Murphy would have no part of it. The only thing he said about the war was he had a lot of buddies killed and they were the heroes. The interviewer asked him what was he remembered most about the war. Without hesitation Murphy said “the day it ended”. He also did a lot for the VA, especially on PTSD, addressing Congress a couple of times, trying to get more funding for PTSD. He slept with a pistol under his pillow to the day he died. RIP Lt Murphy. Your name should be in the dictionary when someone looks up the definition of a man.
