I used to watch this show in S Korea as a kid while my father was there working for the US army in Late 60s early 70s. It was on Korean TV and all spoke Korean bc it was dubbed. The incredible thing is that they did such a good job dubbing that every word matched the lips and even the voices; especially that of Saunders and little John was just like their English voices. I found this out in the 80s and 90s when they used to have Combat marathons once a year. Anyways it’s a great show!

This is the show that peaked my interest in WWII history & a lifetime of collecting memorabilia including a Thompson just like my hero Sgt.Saunders carried.My collection turned into a War Memorial Museum 25 years ago & still growing.Have been watching a couple episodes per day but all new ones for me & the music & sounds of the 88s & Sgt Saunders Thompson really brought back the memories

You can see a microphone hanging down from the ceiling in this scene. They screwed up. Funny. It shows for a split second then you see it go up and disappear. I forgot they used old fashioned microphones. This feature is intense. Are they removing a bomb? They put a clip in it. I was reading about the last episode of combat. It brought back memories of what happened to spider sabich? In the last episode Claudine longet was on trial for killing the great skier. I don’t know what happened when he got shot but it’s always questionable. Who’s to say what really went on. It could have been an accidental shooting. Then again he was known to cheat on his girlfriends. And he could have possibly cheated on longet also. Maybe she couldn’t take his cheating any more and just decided to knock him off. Not realizing the circumstances. God will decide her fate in the end. This is still a great show! And I still love it after all these years and I’m now 72. ❤

My nominee for the BEST Combat SCRIPT; complex fascinating and beautifully crafted. Sort of a "Road" picture once Vic and Rip start their journey through the forest. The shot of both of them ascending the hill when they arrive at the camp at dawn is almost liturgical in its effect; it's "Salvation". But the story is far from over. The final exchange-- Rip having rejoined the fight while Saunders is being taken OUT of conflict-- is great. Who knows if Saunders' R&R period will have the same effect on him as did Rip's out-of-action recuperation? Very probing, insightful, understated writing. Just great, especially for a weekly,hour-long action show. LR

Somebody has to round out the squad by not following orders without question. Somebody has to be concerned with their life more than the mission. Kirby isn't a coward he's concerned about all of their lives. Jack Hogan is a great actor but doesn't get much recognition here on KZbin. He's one of the brave actors who doesn't play the hero. He plays Kirby damn well. The heroes aren't just the guys who didn't make it home. Heroes are the guys who were scared shit and went out there anyway. Hogan and Torn play different kinds of soldiers who are more alike than they realize. I think Kirby has a lot more to go home to than Avery or Saunders. and he's not gonna throw it away

"There are none in the flesh who reflect the Sacrificial Action of The Author of Sacrifice Himself... than those Sacrificial Actions of The American Soldier." "If the 22 a day, only knew and believed Who it was to their left, during Their duties To Relieve The Oppressed... The Traumatic Enemy Within, would have long since been closed with, and or killed... and not them." -Former Recondo Sgt. "Rock" 82nd Abn. 1/504 Inf. Div. 71-74
