Don't forget the Tuskegee Airmen either. They put the defense of the bombers under their charge over their own lives when defending them. It was claimed for many years that not one bomber was lost under their protection. It has now been established that they in fact lost 27 bombers while flying cover. 84 Airmen were killed during the war. 68 were killed in action, 12 were killed in training accidents or non- combat missions. An additional 32 were captured by the enemy and spent the rest of the war as POWs. While the 27 bombers they lost may tarnish their previous record, but you should consider this. The 332nd lost 27 in 7 missions out of the total of 1578 combat missions flown protecting the bombers. All other P-51 fighter groups of the Fifteenth Air Force during the same period was 46.

[@nigelft]

@@oh8wingman Indeed ... Added to which, most USAAF combat missions where flown during daylight. Not even our British Bomber Comand dare do that, and stuck to nighttime sorties, because, although nighttime missions where dangerous, daytime was way worse ... So to lose just 27, over the many sorties flown was greater than the mythical zero, nevertheless, was still lower than average, and what led to the apocryphal stories of them being specifically requested, or else ... I have no way of knowing how much of that is true, but certainly the mythos was/is that the Tuskegee Airmen where regarded as a lucky Talisman for all the aircrews flying in the bombers ...

This is what Australian Army Sgt Bob Buick did during the Vietnam Battle of Long Tan in August, 1966.

Sometimes the only thing you can do in war is make sure you get company in the mass grave they are going to make. I am going to quote a rule from a fictional (though you can now actually purchase a physical copy of the thing) book called the 70 Maxims of Maximally Effective Mercenaries. Maxim 20: If you are unwilling to shell your own position, you are unwilling to win. This might sound callous but it has come up enough times in history, throughout the 20th, and even the 21st centuries, that this has proven true. "You know our position, shell us." This is what one British Infantry officer radioed in WWII when his position got overrun by Gerries. From what I have come across it happened a few times in the Pacific, in the Burma Campaign, and in North Africa. Korean War and Vietnam also saw more than a few instances of this happening. Hell, during WWI the French had the official position by the end that if their bombardment of enemy trenches _didn't_ result in blue on blue on the attacking infantry then the bombardment was not held for long enough.

It's incredible the lengths this great man went to for a country that at the time wasn't really willing to go to for him.

What an absolute mad lad. Rest well, Lieutenant. 🇺🇲

Happened to my grandpa at the Battle of Kapyong in Korea. Him and the 16 other soldiers who survived out of 100 of his unit all got presidential citations. As Canadians.

These guys should of never been segregated, their all hero's. God bless them all.

[@idealicfool]

It is the annoying thing about how Aus treated Aboriginal people. In the 1st and 2nd world wars, those who served were not segregated. They were not payed any less. Amongst the ranks they were not treated any less. They were treated as equals. This compared to how the segregated African American troops were treated was a factor in events that would trigger the riots that came to be known as the battle of Brisbane...and then after the war, those men who were treated as equals had to face once again to be treated as less than human after risking their lives for their country.

@@idealicfool ok mate this has naff all to do with aboriginal people, but whatever. 🤨

[@idealicfool]

@@janeharding6493 how about reading what I said again and then looking up the battle of Brisbane. You guys segregated your black ppl in the armed forces. We did not. Only after they left the corps did they again face segregation. Which kinda makes it even worse.

@@janeharding6493 and it is this sort of willful ignorance that lead to the world taking the piss out of Americans for their ignorance. If it has nothing to do with you or your country then you don't know or care to right. Righto mate, whatever.

Oh my goodness! Why isn't n this brave man's story more widely known?! I guess it begins here. Will share with some friends. Mahalo! 👍

Audy Murphy did the same thing. He was severely wounded and was given the Medal of Honor.

[@FancySeeingYouHere]

Ok this is about John Fox

[@ltkreg]

@John Covington Yes, but years later in a private airplane crash. And after a successful career as a film star. The Film "To Hell And Back" is about his war experiences. I believe it can be seen on both KZbin and Bitchute.

[@dpeasehead]

@Rob Abreu: Context matters. And it also changes the nature and magnitude of the sacrifice. Audy Murphy's heroism wasn't ignored or dismissed because of his race, so neither he nor his family had to wait decades for it to be honored. Nor did his people have to plead for the opportunity to face combat for a nation which had nothing but disdain for them. He even got to make a film about it. If race and color didn't matter, as many are going to claim, than the entire history of the US not just that of WWII would be different.

[@ltkreg]

@@dpeasehead How the he11 did you inject racism into this????? FYI, Audies family were sharecroppers and his father abandoned the family. Enough white privilage for you?

[@dpeasehead]

@@ltkreg You're and idiot. Why do ylu think that black people had to fight to be treated as full citizens during WWII? White sharecroppers weren't lynched nor did they need a green book to safely travel the US..need more?

I am proud of my people and thankful to have had the chance to serve myself. Books won’t tell stories like these nor are these spoken about, but thank you to the creator of this video. Brought tears to my eyes.❤️💯 #america

[@steve03260]

You should do a video on Sammy Davis MOH Vietnam, great guy.

[@vwr32jeep]

This one gave me goose bumps. Fox, and those there with him, are heroes.
