Though it's worth noting that the descision to launch would have been made a few stages further up the hierarchy, so there would have still been the chance of someone intervening. Which doesn't detract from Petrovs bravery of course, he still risked a lot in not making a judgement call there. There was however a case where one man LITERALLY prevented nuclear war, namely Vasili Arkhipow (who is, ironically, the man shown in the picture at 2:18, instead of Petrov). He was a submarine commander during the cuban missile crisis, and his submarine was close to launching a nuclear torpedo at US ships. Out of 3 men who's consent was nessecary for the launch, only Arkhipow objected. In that case, he was literally the last man standing between the world and nuclear war.

Kinda surprised Warrant Officer Hugh Thomas isn't here. Didn't exactly disobey orders, but during the My Lai Massacre, he landed his helicopter to try to find out what was going on. Lt. Calley, commanding officer, told him to mind his own business, but he disregarded Calley and put his helicopter between civilians and Calley's soldiers, threatening to open fire if the platoon didn't back down. He won the Distinguished Cross, but was vilified for his actions back home, earning death threats and even a rebuke from a Congressman who said he should have been the only soldier during the massacre punished because of his intervention. That's heroism. Doing something not only regardless of the immediate insubordination, but also regardless of consequences in the long run, just because it's the right thing to do. Thomas did the right thing, and despite being vilified, his only regret was that he couldn't do more.

[@stuartgreen1376]

Absolutely.

[@theevildrummingsithlord1492]

@Manthan Shah Largely because of the politicized nature of the Vietnam War. Some who supported the war considered the massacre as overblown, exaggerated, and demonizing both the soldiers who perpetrated the massacre as well as of general servicemen. They defended the massacre as justified, or never having taken place. Just as how Lt. Calley was in part, released due to some of these supporters, so to was Thomas vilified as some considered his allegations as fraudulent, and his actions criminal. Some even considered Thomas's threat to open fire in order to protect civilians as disloyal to his fellow soldiers and country

Sickles' actions left a giant gap in the Union line and forced one regiment to fill the gap, and another to support his retreat. Before Sickles moved the Union had perfect defensive positions. Making that move would have meant defeat for the Union had the Confederates been able to reach the gap. This was not a heroic action, it was Sickles trying to gain his own personal glory. The only reason he got the Medal of Honor was because he was better at politics than he was at strategy. Also the Medal of Honor at the time did not have the extensive selection process it does now.

If you read Dakota Meyers book, it explains that he was so close to the enemy that he was almost captured & had to use a rock to kill an enemy fighter. The dude is a straight up bad ass!!

Thus the sentence this narrator said 'he pulled out another weapon, and another, and another.' Anything can be a weapon in a do-or-die situation like this. Even a simple rock can be a deadly weapon.

I think there should be a list for officers like Admiral Yamamoto of the Imperial Japanese Navy who during the attack on Pearl Harbor, ordered that no civilian buildings or vehicles were to be bombed. In this action, he showed he had a better understanding of Bushido than some of his fellow officers and the fascists in the Japanese parliament.

[@stever8776]

Thanks for the video. There are a lot of Soldiers that have a moral code to do what is right. Seaman Baker was a young rescue Swimmer. He was on one of our Coast Guard helicopters on a rescue mission. They found the victim but the weather and seas were so bad the pilot decided he had to return to save the helicopter. Coast Guard choppers almost Never turn back. They are some of the best and bravest pilots. Young seamen Baker disobeyed a direct order and jumped into the raging ocean to to save a young boy. He was successful. He was Court Martialed for disobeying a direct order and putting the helicopter in grave danger. He was also given the Silver Life Saving Metal. Later in service he was promoted from Chief to Lieutenant. I had the pleasure of serving under him and he was a role model for rescue Swimmer in my unit.

Dear Viktor: The Dakota Meyers Account is a fraud, he did his duty but he was not a hero. Please see the Washington post article, December 14, 2011 “Marines inflated story of medal of honor recipient.” There are many other articles like this, the real hero was Swenson, and Dakota Meyers to this day lives a lie. It is poorly researched KZbin videos like this that continue false narratives. Desmond Doss and others are true heroes, and it’s sad to see their story intertwined with Fakers like Dakota.

Can you make a video on French Canadian Victoria Cross recipient Cpl. Joseph Kaeble For most conspicuous bravery and extraordinary devotion to duty when in charge of a Lewis gun section in the front line trenches, in which a strong enemy raid was attempted. During an intense bombardment Corporal Kaeble remained at the parapet with his Lewis gun shouldered ready for action, the field of fire being very short. As soon as the barrage lifted from the front line, about fifty of the enemy advanced towards his post. By this time the whole of his section except one had become casualties. Corporal Kaeble jumped over the parapet, and holding his Lewis gun at the hip, emptied one magazine after another into the advancing enemy, and although wounded several times by fragments of shells and bombs, he continued to fire and entirely blocked the enemy by his determined stand. Finally, firing all the time, he fell backwards into the trench mortally wounded. While lying on his back in the trench he fired his last cartridges over the parapet at the retreating Germans, and before losing consciousness shouted to the wounded about him: "Keep it up, boys; do not let them get through! We must stop them !" The complete repulse of the enemy attack at this point was due to the remarkable personal bravery and self-sacrifice of this gallant non-commissioned officer, who died of his wounds shortly afterwards. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Kaeble kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2bPeHmsmtegbtk

Dan Sickles, really? He was a terrible person, and his bumble was extremely costly for the union and less for the confederacy, due to the way in which he advanced his troops, in a V. The V is bad since there are parts in the line that is left exposed and cannot fire back at flanking fire. Plus if he had stayed back on Little round top, the union would have STILL probably won the battle.

I never denied that he was flanked, his move was dumb. He thought that if he could seize the high ground, or the peach orchard, that he would win the battle. That is not incorrect. It is exactly what happened.
