The implementation of what you have read or learned in a class room onto a field of battle is quit a different story. Experience is the best teacher, but it can be a very harsh one; and second guessing yourself or others while leading men into it is not a good thing. Thank You Mr. Burke ! HEY !

Split leadership is suicide. Once, as an SSG I had an SGT under me with more time in grade than I had time in service. My arrival at the unit toppled his vision of taking charge of the section. Eventually, I took charge of the section and he proved to be a major thorn in my side. He undermined my leadership at every opportunity. I couldn't get rid of him because he was buddy buddy with the Ops SGM. I was greatly relieved when he finally took himself out. One February night in Germany he decided to get drunk and abuse his wife. She wasn't having any of that, so she locked him out on the balcony of their apartment, barefoot and no jacket. He jumped from the balcony and landed on some bricks lining the flower bed below, shattering both of his ankles. I learned of the incident on a Monday and after COB bought my section a round of beer to celebrate his riddance. Never even visited him in the hospital.

Back in 1963, when Combat! started, I was 15 and watched all five years of the series. I was to young to realize how well the show was written, directed , and acted. I also didn't understand the lessons taught at that time. Now, here we are, 56 years, (WTF!), later and looking back through the filter of all that time I've found a greater appreciation of those qualities. Sometimes something special gets aired. This show was one of those special things. On a side note, there are only two people left from the cast. Jack Hogan, who is in his late eighties and Tom Lowell. That brings up one last thing. Does anybody know why Lowell was no longer a part of the cast after the end of the second season? If anyone does, just leave a reply here and I'll get a notification of it. Thank you in advance.

[@perpieta]

@Jim Willoughby: In the Combat! book by Jo Davidsmeyer, Lowell says he was offered a contract by Disney to appear in "two pictures a year for the next two years." According to the interview excerpt in the book, Lowell felt the Disney deal was too good an opportunity to pass up, and since he hadn't signed a long-term contract with Combat!, he left the TV show. He subsequently did four pictures for Disney.

[@williamray1527]

Lowell also said that he put in for more money and the producer was too hard-nosed to budge. So since he had other things that look pretty good he went ahead and walked.

[@jeffreycoulter4095]

We can't second guess choices. As this episode clearly points out, holding territory was the objective, digging in was a means of cover, the machine gun was exposed as were the crew. A bazooka has a reasonable effective range. A man was down and left exposed. Defense and offense is called for when out gunned. As my wrestling coach once told one of my teammates, you need to reach into your shorts and pull out the man you need to be for the moment. The Burke character had fear all over him, eating away at him. Call it combat fatigue , but in these cases, judgment and blame follows. What if's and maybe's, I think vs. I know. Second guesses get you killed. The minute you put on the uniform, you're a dead man. So live like it. When its over, you do like everyone else does , cry. Cry because your friends died, cry because you were scared, cry because no one needs to ever have to live through that.

I think that Saunders was right in keeping their firepower intact at the top of the hill, instead of detaching O'Neill's MG crew to the base, as O'Neil had advocated. Without O'Neil's additional firepower, they might not have been able to stand up to that german MG nest that opened up on them.

I'm going to start by saying I've never been in combat. But I'll never forget what my HS senior English teacher who is a Vietnam Vet said. "When the lead starts to fly, it's too late to think.

Awesome story thoroughly told 👏👍🇺🇸❗

[@yannschonfeld5847]

Sooner or later, an épisode like this had to appear: that is, someone to question (after the fact, in accusation) of Sgt. Saunders (as portrayed by Vic Morrow) judgement as an NCO in action, espécially if men are lost because of it. So, here it is. We have yet to see Sgt.Saunders Under internécine attacks to this dégree. (I think) Now, we catch a pretty close glimpse of how Sgt. Saunders can réact in such circumstances. Maybe we would not expect him to behave this way. Perhaps not. Sgt. Saunders who "shoots from the hip",speaks his mind without worrying about what anybody might think, do or say; yet, here, he is obviously hurt, wounded because another sergeant accuses him of recklessness, misjudgement and acting "dangerously". Now, we know that Sgt. Saunders never réacts from the égo, shooting his mouth off and so on. So, we should not be too surprised to understand this réaction, to leave the whole mini tribunal being held in that art gallery basement to go outside to reflect, collect his thoughts, not fleeing but neither at the same time allowing himself to the brunt and victim of what he knows to be unfounded accusations that might very well to lead to a formal court martial. It is not at all surprising to see Kirby (Jack Hogan) and Caje (Pierre Jalbert) testify not only to Sgt.Saunders good judgement but also to Sgt. O'Neills (Paul Burke) lack of it. Finally, Sgt.Saunders returns to give his version of it. The clinching point that Sgt. Saunders makes (as portrayed by Vic Morrow) is not that he took longer coming back trying to save Private Parker and retrieve the bazooka amunition but that indeed who knows how many bazooka shots it would have taken to Knock out that tank? Littlejohn (Dick Peabody) did it in one. Who knows? Life and War are so "aléatoire" - random that no one can forsee how a logical action is going to turn out. When Sgt. O'Neill withdraws his accusation,(42.10) look how Sgt. Saunders turns on him! "Why?..because you feel sorry for me?"(after he learns that Pt. Parker has died) He won't accept the withdrawl. This scène recalls in a way that scène in 12 Angry Men when juror # 11 accuses juror # 7 of changing his verdict for all the wrong gutless reasons. I think, at this point, the character that Vic Morrow is building here, it was very nécessary for an épisode like this one to be shown to truly get some insight into this almost flesh and blood character. As I have wondered before, this character, male or female, some of you may have had the privilège to meet or know. For me, the character that Vic Morrow is building here is very real.Paul Burke (1926-2009) had a pretty solid career in film and TV: 12 O'Clock High, Thomas Crown Affair, Valley of the Dolls, and Naked City and many other séries appearances and movies .H.M. Wynant - playing Lt.Collins, (born Haim Weiner in 1927) started acting at 19 and is known in Conquest in the Planet of the Apes, the Lost Skeleton returns again (2009) plus an almost unbroken chain of appearances in various séries over the years and .....H.M. Wynant is still active as of the date of this posting. Un très grand merci pour le téléchargement!

Nice book, but you lost my attention a 3rd of the way through. Outstanding TV series. I appreciate your attempt to explain your theory, but I think your explanation is longer than the script

I was only 7 when I watched Combat with my dad and my favorite caricature was Littlejohn because I associated him with Robin Hood. lol

[@Jimbo-qe4gc]

After I had major spinal neck and hip surgery I was bed ridden for about a month and a half I watched Combat! The first thing I noticed was how great of an actor Vic Morrow was and I didn’t know much about him until I watched the series reruns! I wish we have Hollywood actors like him today but nowadays too many Woke libtards can’t seem to stick acting because of politics!

[@johnrogan9420]

Paul Burke...tv washout in the Air Force.. 12 o'clock high...Marines...the Lieutenant...and the Army. Combat...any one know if he is seen in the Navy or Coast Guard screwing things up?

[@priscillamurphy7229]

What a great show. Its timeless indeed.

[@49niners100]

Since Little John was carrying the bazooka, why wasn't carrying the ammo????

[@garysuter5355]

Bazooka is a team of 2, shooter and loader. One carries the awkward and heavy bazooka, the other person carries the heavy rocket shells

[@shawnrafferty7495]

Paul Burke more believable here than 12 O'Clock High. Replace Frank Savage? Fred Savage, maybe, lol.

Morrow's walk was so distinctive that even from a distance I can pick him out and tell if it's him or Earl Parker, his double on the show.

[@bobmalack481]

At 26:50 Cage says to village guy on canal bridge "Continaiy..Continaiy!" I'm guessing in French that means continue! Robert at 67.

I'm surprised he didn't just say "Allez-vous!" and wave him on.

Yeah termites ate it up haha most(most of the time he carried a wood replica)

[@billboth4814]

I prefer episodes like this that portray events more typical of the GI experience in 1944. Tigers and Panthers were almost invulnerable to the bazooka. Not sure about the uparmored MK IVs although the squad regarded a one shot destruction as lucky. Ike regarded the bazooka as one of the four great tools of victory along with the C-47, the Jeep, & the A Bomb. Wonder if this role led to his 12 o' Clock High gig for Burke?

Jack Lord don't forget him this episode didn't make any sense to me I think somebody fell asleep at the wheel if a tank shoots a shell at two men and they die how can you blame somebody else and do all that and then say never mind talk about crying wolf 🐺 is this asshole interrupt one more time I'm going to stick my hand through the screen and choke the shit out of me

Does Saunders ever get promoted. He's been a Sergeant E5 for 5 years. The guy deserves a Medal of Honor for his actions throughout the series.
