COMBAT! s.3 ep.23: "Dateline" (1965)

[@michaelprue9024]

I remember staying up late watching episodes of this show and a few others. I was a young boy then, and would invariably get into trouble for staying up. But this show, and some John Wayne movies influenced me to join the Army. That was late 70s early 80s, and by the mid 80s I knew I was going to join. A friend of mine and I were supposed to join together on the buddy program, but when it came time he pussed out. I joined anyways and went alone. Glad I did. It was the best thing I could have ever done for myself. It taught me responsibility, discipline and integrity. It taught me to grow up. Before I went, I was a lazy, irresponsible teenager punk. By the time I ETSd, I had grown immensely. I didn’t think I’d have to serve during a war, but was deployed to Desert Shield / Desert Storm. I also spent 2 years in Germany, and another 2 years stationed at Ft Carson Colo springs. I wouldn’t trade a minute of it for a lifetime of being that lazy punk kid. It also taught me about diversity, and culture. I met so many people of different walks of life, different ethnicities. It taught me to appreciate people for who they are. That old saying, To judge a man by the content of their character etc - is absolutely true. I met and TRUSTED so many different peoples of color who were such great soldiers and men, and I met people who were absolute sacks of shit. I can honestly say, I had such high hopes for race relations in this country based on my service. And then the democrats fucked that all up in the name of politics and losing just 1 election to someone they ALL used to suck up to before he decided to run. I can honestly say my heart broke for this country as we all watched it burn to the ground in the name of politics. Never EVER thought I’d see the day that WE as American PEOPLE would let a bunch of gutter trash politicians ruin what we had. It WAS getting better. Now…. It’s just so fucked up.

Stellar episode. I remember watching this as a kid in 1974 on the only black & white Grundig TV set in my mountain village in Greece. Brings back great memories!

[@doughaga3542]

Dan Duryea played a badass in many a western, he played a great role in this episode of Combat , started scared but came through in the end, he was always one of my favorite actors , as all the actors in this show have become . Combat was one of the greatest shows to ever appear on tv. And it's been many years to show it .

[@StoneShards]

He's in another episode, too, where he's a band leader. I can't identify the specific episode, though.

@@StoneShards You're welcome! Glad I could help. It was a great episode and the scene you mention was really good. Pierre Jalbert is one of my favorites on the show and always seems to put in a stellar performance. I just watched No Trumpets no Drums where Cage accidently kills the father of a young French girl (brilliantly portrayed by child actress Andrea Darvi) and I have to admit his performance in this episode brought me to tears!

It's amazing how much your imagination can work for you even when it's in black & white. It's refreshing to not have to see all the blood & gore that you have to watch in the shows & movies nowadays.

From a child in the 50s This show set my career I love everything about the American GI and what he stood for I did not plan to become an old man I wanted to die in battle in Vietnam but we turned tail and ran I made it to Vietnam but it was at the fall of Saigon I was born too late for both World War II and Vietnam World War II was my dream to battle in that war would have been my fulfillment in life

[@manuelbermudez211]

Yeah I fighting with my mom about joining the marines and going to Vietnam. I got my draft notice and the main guy didn’t believe that I was an only child and never knew my dad. I had to go back to the draft board every two weeks for 4 months and say the same thing about being an only kid and not knowing my dad. I was classified as EVERYTHING. Finally I got classified as 1-H which meant that I would’ve been a home guard on the beaches incase the Vietcong swam to California. Made me change my mind about joining the marines. Made my mom happy. My dad never had much interest in me or my two kids or my first two grandkids. But I’m sure he would’ve been “ really proud and bragging if I was killed in Vietnam 🇻🇳 “. He was a real deadbeat dad and grandpa. Just sayin …

Hogan's Heroes wasn't based on Combat! It was based on the book Stalag 17 and the movie The Great Escape. I found Hogan's Heroes absurd. There was nothing funny about POW camps. Mash was a satirical comedy about the horrors of war.

It was their duty to attempt to escape. While it might cost them their lives, for every one that escaped, it took 10 nazi's off the line to find them. This meant that more lives would be saved by the escape attempt than lost. In a prison like that, normally everyone was involved with attempting to excape. They wouldnt have left many behind to be killed in their attempt. "Only a fool" would beleive they wouldnt be starved or tortured. In an earlier episode one of the men was tortured to death.

"Hold up everyone... that sounded like a mine blew up. Little John, go check to see if there are any other mines!" And that is what Sargents do. They would have let a PFC do the walk, not a Sgt. or Capt. Sorry, but that is the way war is. Oh, and the BAR man would be near the front... not the back.

Yeh a private fucking civilian.

Uhhh first as a Sergeant i would of said let's hang tight here for about 30 minutes, that mine probably brought attention to the Krouts! You think? Smh

The reason the "reporters" are portrayed in the negative was a reaction to the then current press who forgot their job and became propagandists for communism, particularly in Vietnam!. We still suffer from this mind-control even today. "Combat" was the only War TV show actually broadcast to the troops in Vietnam during the war, something unique, and the "anti-war" KGB financed US left howled about it at the time...

[@williamhiers5348]

How were they propagandists for Communism?
