I'm 67, people today don't realize the sacrifices that our parents and grandparents made from 1915 to 1948 so that they have the freedom and the right to be so stupid acting today. My father fought the Japanese while my uncle fought the Germans, I could always see the horror of war in their eyes even when they tried to hide it. They truly were the greatest generation.

It's amazing to think. Here Vic Morrow was, great actor, about 35. In the war, a battled hardened Sargent like him would have been maybe 22 - 23 years old. John Basilone of the USMC, perhaps the hardest, toughest NCO of the war was only 28 when he was killed on Iwo Jima day 1. Don't get me wrong, Vic Morrow is a television ICON, nothing less, because of this role. He was perfect.

Thank you for mentioning John Basilone. He was a machine gunner on Guadalcanal and was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his heroism there. Transferred to the US to sell war bonds, he volunteered to return to the Fleet Marine Force for action. Exceptionally brave and tough, John Basilone thereby gave up a life of comfort and adulation to serve again with his fellow Marines, and ultimately to die while rallying troops on Iwo. Semper fi.

His BAR did have the concealed "Hollywood" blank adaptor, a bore restrictor which allowed the gas from the blanks to build enough pressure to function the action. All the semi- and full-auto weapons had this modification. The gas-operated weapons thereby had sufficient gas pressure to function, and the recoil-operated weapons were given enough recoil by the jet effect of the gas leaving the tiny orifice in the restrictor. Of course, the bolt guns didn't need the blank adaptor. (retired firearms instructor/armorer/competitive shooter)

Little John gets wounded the most in this series it looks like.

I know all the characters get wounded, I was just saying I feel Little John gets wounded the most. Yeah, when I see them back in the fight in the next episodes I'm like "What is this? D&D? They just lost some hit points and didn't get injured?". M*A*S*H ran longer than the Korean war too, although I swore off that show years ago. I'd rather watch COMBAT! than M*A*S*H.

Red Cross messages are always verrified. My mother died in 91. While I was active duty. Some people play dirty tricks at times. I was a co company level. I would have done the same thing.

That's probably why it became a great show with great guest appearances. Same set. Low budget.

Anyone here ever need to rely on a PRC 77 and pray the 292 would help?
@bestwishes50603 жыл бұрын
That radio sucked. A lot of people were killed because of it. 292 took too long to set up.

The Radios in "Combat !" and in WW2 weren't "PRC-77s". Those are "SCR 300s".
