  1. These men did not "win" their awards, but received them. Their actions are glorious and should be respected. Its an insult to say they won an award war or battle is not a game.

  2. Very good job fellows throughout the 2nd century felicitous week of said May!! Congratulations. Roy Benavidez is such a legend, we learned about him in basic in a small book we had to memorize. Him and Audie Murphy are absolute units.

  3. It doesn't matter how many men you have, or how expensive and fancy your crap is. You can still be a casualty if determined individuals try hard enough to do so.

  4. Robert’s fought until he ran out of ammunition, captured, tortured and executed. The SEALs left Chapman once they recovered Robert’s body. The SEAL commander, Sr Ch panicked and requested exfiltration. The Command
    Post personnel watched his optics rise and fall, but the SEALs claimed they couldn’t return. The cover up was complete with the Navy awarding a MOH to the Senior SEAL and spent YEARS fighting Chapman’s upgrade to the MOH for fear of people finding out the SEALs left him behind!

  5. This collection opens up with a very strong start. Can’t recall how many times I’ve heard this man’s story. Still consider him a great hero.

  6. My God is Benevidez even human??? Dude took half a dozen bullets, bayoneted, bashed, hit in the back with shrapnel, but somehow just became even angrier and more determined after each instance. What an absolutely terrifying beast. Took 37 total different wounds and still made it home.

  7. Another outnumbered against all odds battle to be mentioned was the Second Battle of Sabine Pass. On September 8th, 1863, 50 Confederates held off 5,000 Union soldiers from invading Texas. The rebels had no casualties and they inflicted at least 350 casualties on the Union soldiers. It has often been credited as the American Civil War's most one-sided Confederate victory.
