Eddie Albert was a highly decorated hero in ww2. He personally saved the lives of several dozen marines who were stranded on a Japanese held island.

[@Dov_ben-Maccabee]

Like the vast majority of vets who became actors, you'd never have known they were combat vets because they never publicized their deeds. There were exceptions of coarse and suffered through intense media pressure. Even Jimmy Stewart suffered PTSD.

[@sheldonf]

Yes, he was awarded the Bronze Star for his actions at Tarawa.

[@johnbowman1076]

He told a story of asking the men what he could bring back. They said rifles and other small arms. He ferried men away but when he came back the rest had been killed.

[@williamkerr2121]

When I was somewhere in my late teens, when Vietnam was raging, I asked an old, much decorated, career soldier what combat was really like. He looked down deep in thought and didn't answer. Just as I was going to walk away he raised his head, looked at me with a little smile and said, "I can't tell you. It's not that I don't want to, I wish I could, but I can't. It's like trying to describe a color no one has ever seen. Words just won't work. You'd have to be there, son....and I hope to God you never are."

[@DG-wu7ke]

This was the performance that made us all anxious for more acting from Robert Duvall. This movie is full of these. A must see!!!

[@CeadMileFailte-w3z]

I'm an Iraq veteran who served in 2003 and have to say this is a very accurate representation of what traumatized vets go through. We are only starting to see what the effects of twenty years of non stop war has had on the vets from Iraq and Afghanistan. With most vets having served 4-16 tours many lasting 16 months the results have been devastating. The Civil War lasted 4 years, WWI lasted 4 years, WWII lasted 4 Years, Korea lasted 3 years, Vietnam lasted 10 years, but our vets were fighting two wars for 20 years. In 2012 the cover of Time reported that one vet a day was commiting suicide. By today that has increased to 17 a day by the VAs own estimates, and some say it's as high as 24 a day. I'm afraid that number will go much higher and one day we may see 60, 70, even 80+ vets a day taking their lives. Pray for our silent heroes, that they receive the help they so badly need.

[@ohwhatelse]

all that going on while dems refuse vets the care & the funds they've earned! it's a crime that dems will pay for in the real, forever Hell. they only THINK they're getting by with something slick but, God knows- & nothing goes unrewarded in kind.

[@gloriamontgomery6900]

My husband was a Vietnam Vet-a Navy corpsman. He never recovered from the things he saw and had to deal with with terribly injured or dying soldiers . He suffered from anxiety and depression and used pot and alcohol to an extreme, abusive degree, which never really helped. In the end he damaged his body so very much that he began to suffer falls, the 8th one in 3 months ended up killing him. He was a wonderful man, he was just of the generation that didn’t believe in medication which could have helped. He did quit drinking, but the damage had been done

I'm living in a country where we all have to go the army at 18 till we're 21. My country is war scarred and the fallen have been amongst my pupils. And many have to deal with the bitter confrontation of massacre, dead bodies, atrocities and more. Many are in hospitals and are being treated for PSD. This movie is not a fiction but a bitter reflection of what war does to the human soul.

[@nancymac6970]

My mother joined the Army right out of nursing school. Her first orders were to Normandy. We kids found the actual papers as we were going through her things... she died in 1993. She didn't talk much about what she had to do over there, we never knew why. Anyway after the war was over she met my dad and they married, he was in the Army as well. They had four kids. She should not have done either of those things because unknown to us at the time she suffered from what they used to call "shell shock". She remained working as a nurse and was a very good one, but she was a horrible mother. We discovered that she had PTSD when the term became more common. Nonetheless we children are very proud of our parents they were true patriots. They are buried side by side in Los Angeles Veterans Cemetery.

[@JanisBurgess]

I think I started to watch this movie many years ago but didn’t get far into it. I wouldn’t have had the maturity to recognize the absolute masterpiece it truly is. The performances were spectacular and we didn’t understand what our combat veterans went through and still go through. A must see movie for anyone ready to understand the subject of trauma.

[@brega6286]

Some years ago I had a sad experience with a WW2 vet who had been a prisoner of war (Japan) and was deteriorating from Alzheimer's. He began to react with panic to any staff that looked Asian and I had to fight to "discriminate" when assigning caregivers. He could not help his panic reactions but the staff and administration certainly could yet....they were plain pains in the tush when I said staff assignments needed to be best for the patient. Then there was a man who had been a resistance fighter in France in WW2 and God bless him a very brave and sweet man who had been nearly beaten to death. Again a fight to make sure his care was "sensitive" to his progressing dementia. No war movies mindlessly playing on the room TV. When you see the damage war combat experience does...it is obvious all our veterans need help. Another was Korean War vet who never spoke. When 9/11 happened and all TV's were turned on by staff on, he spoke by running through the halls yelling warnings we were under attack. I had to order TV's off . We now have veterans from later wars and should be alert to how we respond. Especially when caring for elders with dementia, their backgrounds are crucial to the care we provide.

[@virginiahouse1456]

Amen! You are wise beyond words.

[@cristineconnell7803]

I had 1 Korean vet who at times needed talk about it. His brother died in his arms & his hands were badly damaged from being smashed with machine gun butts. He was the funniest sweetest old guy! He spent his last days as the town historian before his dementia progressed! Most others can't often talk about it, some probably need to in the right setting! However at that stage the mind tends to revert to past memories more & more! The challenges of Alzheimers & Dementia are devastating to experience, in any fashion! Was hardest watching my awesome big tough WWII vet Grandpa slowly fade away from it!

[@wingedbuffalo4670]

Thank you @brega. You are very perceptive ... and what's more, you have a TRUE SERVANT'S heart. People with whom you work who "get an attitude" about special considerations and accommodations that are necessary in order to "meet the patient where he's at" and do what's best for HIM/HER really need to do some serious inner reflection and soul-searching. It's NOT "all about them," and it's NOT about the providers' egos, hurt feelings, or preferences. What it IS and should be about is "what's best for the patients !!!!!" At least that's how a true servant of the mentally tortured would approach his/her job.

I had an Uncle who served in WWII. He was taken from the battlefield with the dead and placed into a temporary mass grave. He was paralyzed and could only move his eyes under his eyelids. He knew where he was and desperately moved his eyes under his lids. Someone noticed and called out to have him pulled out. He recovered physically, but never mentally. I don’t think he ever got any help. He drank everyday for the rest of his life. It was the only way he could function.
