i just mean it's a strange juxtaposition. the great warrior versus such a peacefull song

[MidnightAngel50]

@HumeAnnoyed I wasn't sure what you meant. I thought the song fit Audie Murphy because Audie was a humble man with values. Yet Audie was also a warrior. He brought to my mind some biblical warriors. If you go to Wikipedia, put his name in the search box. His life is quite interesting.

holy shit

@HumeAnnoyed ??????

[HumeAnnoyed]

wtf? audie murphy by the rivers of babylon? wow, this just...

[MidnightAngel50]

@HumeAnnoyed I do not understand what you mean by your comment.

@M35kriegsmarine As a self-professed war veteran, I'm sure that you know that soldiers try to cope with the horrors of war in different ways - some go into complete shock, some go berserk, and some learn to accept that they are already dead so as not to be paralyzed by fear. Audie coped by focusing on the welfare of his comrades. Simply put, he fought savagely because he didn't want to let his comrades down, just like many other soldiers I know. It had nothing to do with being psychotic.

audie murphy great star.and a true hero.thanks

[Floodlezoot]

my only complaint is this music. Wouldn't Weird Al Yankovic's Waffle King suit this video better?

[mvies77]

It is apparent that you do not like Audie, tacky movie, psychotic, only human to have PTSD, goes bezerk, the music, the poor nazis. There is not one positive comment from you about him. How pathetic. I began to say more but you are not worth it and it would be a total waste of time on you anyway.

@MrDarkShadow64 "Okay" regarding what?

[MrDarkShadow64]

@M35kriegsmarine Okay?

[addiefleur]

For me, the song was a lovely choice and the editing for this video is just wonderful!

Thank you, midnightangel,

@MrDarkShadow64 The fact that he suffered from PTSD shows that he was a human being. If not for that; he gives the impression he enjoyed the killing....or that it simply didn't bother him.

[M35kriegsmarine]

@MrDarkShadow64 That sounds logical to me. War is about fighting for your buddies. Please keep in mind that the Germans were doing the same thing. By 1955, Audie Murphy had already been in several movies. Although "he was not a Hollywood powerhouse"....he still had been around a few years and therefore could have said something about the lack of authenticity of this movie.

[MrDarkShadow64]

@M35kriegsmarine (cont.) His ferocity in combat was due in his own words to: "They were killing my friends." This movie was different from most at the time in that the cast didn't live from start to finish - that due to Audie's influence... hence their portraits filing by at the end. On the other hand he was not a Hollywood powerhouse this early in his career and had only limited influence - even in the production of his own story. He did later have more influence in choosing his own roles etc.

[MrDarkShadow64]

@M35kriegsmarine Audie's only psychological problems was that he suffered from PTSD, which had nothing to do with his performance in combat, but DID have issues with after the war. He was the first combat veteran to go public with his struggles and thereby helped thousands of veterans by changing the way the government handled those cases. His first marriage failed due to his PTSD. He did influence what he could on the movie production, but he also downplayed everything he was recognized for.
