His book "Soldier" had a HUGE impact on my upbringing and future.

Great man there

[@marc108]

What a decent Man....and a fragile wife

[@morpheus1818]

This man was a great American and Soldier. I have 2 of his books that I read as a young Soldier; "Soldier" and "The Soldier's Handbook". They both had a big positive impact on my life. He will be sorely missed.

Mary Grace Natalie Herbert passed in 2018.She was the epitome of her name. A wonderful person who was a fantastic cook. The world is a lesser place without her.

I knew Tony and Mary Grace well. He was a man who truly believed that you must do the right thing regardless of the consequences.

In the wake of the controversy surrounding the infamous My Lai Massacre incident, Korean war hero LTC Herbert claimed to have witnessed a number of war crimes in Vietnam, which he reported to his superiors but which they allegedly refused to curb or discipline. Herbert pressed charges against his commanding officers for their intransigence. Herbert had reported eight separate war crimes, including incidents of looting, execution and murder. In one episode involving some Vietnamese girls Herbert stated, "The area was brilliantly lit by floodlights ... Each of them [the girls] was seated with their hands on a table, palms down." Herbert described the instruments used as a "long springy rod of bamboo split into dozens of tight, thin flails on one end. It was a murderous weapon," he said. "I'd seen it take the hide off a buffalo. When it was struck down hard, the flails splayed out like a fan, but an instant after impact they returned to their order, pinching whatever was beneath." According to LTC Herbert, "War crimes are infinitely easier to overlook than to explain to an investigating committee. Nor do they do much for promotion among the 'West Point Protection Society' of the U.S. Army's upper-echelon career men. So when I kept bringing up the matter, I kept on making enemies and getting answers such as," 'What the hell did you expect, Herbert, Candy and flowers?' I reported these things and nothing happened." LTC Herbert was accused of exaggeration and outright lying in his filed reports. In April 1969 he was relieved of his command of the Second Battalion, despite its outstanding record under his leadership. "I know now it wasn't just the Army," Herbert says. "It was Commanding General Westmorland in particular. He did everything he possibly could to keep my case covered up because of the heat being placed on the Army from the My Lai case." - *RIP LTC Anthony Herbert, a true American Hero, in all respects.*

We all cried Boo-Hoo, at the 3000+ killed on 9-11, & the 2400 killed at Pearl Harbor.....but what about the hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese killed in the unjust Vietnam war......or the murderous killing of 300K innocent men, women & children in the bombing of Hiroshima & Nagasaki.?...

My son has joined the Marines, he's in the delayed entry and leaves Dec 13th for Paris Island. He's 20, I just showed him this hero, he was impressed and said how he hesitated and could tell he wasn't wanting to talk about it and want recognition, very humble. This guy is (or was) one hell of a soldier, or Marine. Funny my son said lot of this young generation doesn't even know when WW1,WW2 or Korean war was!! Unbelievable, modern history and don't know, only care about TIC TOC, video games and other nonsense.

[@m42037]

@@LiamBlackbird No lot of young America today know nothing about WW2 Not even Vietnam they call this ancient history like Egypt 4000 year's ago!

[@plainwain]

Little did I know that when I bought the book written by Lt.Col Herbert that I would actually get to see he and his wife that he wrote about in the book: "Soldier". This was a real treat. He was a moral and decent Soldier with a conscience and a desire to stop wickedness in the world.

Conquest to Nowhere appropriate title for the Korean Conflict - which, by the way, no country attacked the U.S., From Korea, the U.S. just could not stay away and decided to intervene in Vietnam, another Conquest to Nowhere.
