The M60 was nicknamed 'The Pig' not because of 'It's insatiable appetite for ammunition' but for it's weight to carry slung or handheld and for its cumbersome and quirky breakdown of the weapons components making it both a "pig of thing to carry" and a "pig of a thing to quickly and easily field strip, clean and get back into action". Facts are what make a good mini doco. Not just made up or misread/misinterpreted nicknames of weapons systems and so forth.

Soviets really did have a huge edge in tank design earlier on. Shame to see it all crumbling into inferiority now.

Thank you for telling this story of this resistance.

False. We did not have enough nuclear material immediately available for any more bombs

Why didn't he receive the Medal of Honor?

Now that is a teammate. People in the military understand exactly what he did. You cannot stand the thought of your fellow servicemen dyeing without you doing something about it. Thank You for your sacrifice and service sir. RIP, you earned it.

Uh the m60 was called the pig because of weight of it and its components.

What a unit 💪

The Tiger tank shown in many clips was not fielded in 1941.

My grandfather PVT John Joseph St John Jr served in this war. He was a WWI Veteran of the Polar Bear Expedition in Russia, U.S. Army, 85th Division, 310th Engineers, Company A. They were the 85th Division: 339th Infantry Regiment, the 1st Battalion of 310th Engineers, and the 337th Ambulance & Hospital Companies, as well as the Provisional Companies: 167th Transportation Company (Operations) and 168th Transportation Company (Maintenance). There were also 510 men transferred as replacements who were from the 328th MG Battalion, 329th MG Battalion, 330th MG Battalion, 338th Infantry, 337th Infantry and the 340th Infantry. He is buried in Delta county Michigan, USA

It saddens me how so many people, especially Americans, criticize us for using the bomb to [hopefully] bring the war to a more rapid conclusion. Have they never heard of Okinawa or Iwo Jima or the Solomons or any of those? The Japanese were ready to die to the last man. If we had had to actually invade Honshu, the Japanese death toll would have been catastrophic, not simply from direct action, but they were already short of food by 1945. Starvation and disease would likely have killed millions of them. Nevermind the casualties that would have been suffered by the Allied forces. The main island would have been utterly sacked, and they'd probably only have just finished rebuilding their infrastructure within the last 15 o 20 years.

I remembering talking to a U.S. combat Vietnam Vet. Being I am Korean, he told me a story about how at night they heard a firefight going on. He said ‘Oh, that was the ROK” laughing.

Zulu warriors" Impi" used marijuana before battle so its not unknown .

Great video, lousey music, it did not fit the video at all!!!

Capt Tibbets, 1k, that ain't shit

So how come you've got army and USMC film mixed together? And All those hand to hand fighting looked like Americans practicing? Sooooooo, what's up.

Another Shadow and an accurate presentation.

I have the utmost respect for ALL the men who didn't get the recognition due them, for whatever reason, and this gallant leader of men is one of them. Although he did get the highest award our nation "bestows" upon these heroes, many other men did deeds above and beyond the call of duty. Many didn't survive their tour. Some survived physically, but died in truth before they left. Others, couldn't adjust to life back in the world after spending a year trying to make one more sunset, one more sun rise.... only to take their own lives once back safe in the States. We STILL have 22 Veterans a day checking themselves out of this realm. I'm sure I'm not the only one watching this who has lost friends who also served, some taking more than than themselves out at the time they go.

When you said the biggest pig I thought you were talking about Johnson.

In the very early 80's as I was starting my career, I worked with a proper soft spoken gentleman. The business went out of its way to help him when he was ill which was often, due to the diseases he'd picked up during "the war". I learnt later that he was a Chindit, he never spoke about it, and a kinder calmer person you'll never meet.

"The Dark Reason Why the Third Atomic Bomb Was Never Deployed" = "Japan surrendered before that could happen" Why is this video longer than 10 seconds?

The British military is the very best but the officer class is still very elitist. When dirty work has to be done they love men like Mike but when peace comes they abandon them, I know it happened to me, I hold no grudges, I did my duty and my men know the truth, Mike was a soldiers soldier

Stillwell was a bad general.

mad mike for a quick minute looked like old orde wingate and although a bit eccentric he to was a ruthless and intense combat leader

2:52 Not Roy S. "GEE-ger". The correct pronunciation of Geiger is "GUY-ger" (hard G).

Never underestimate us Kansas boys

My Lord J.ESUS Returns, repent of sin and OBEY the LAWS of the Father... Y..A,,H.. is a egipt DEMON, BEEEEEWARE ... (HalleluJAH is a PAGAN word)

This narrator sounds like he’s been smoking some meth.

People are so ignorant that helped the enemy

Err... India was NOT "an integral part of the UK", it's never been part of the UK at all, you probably mean British Empire.

Best to play at .75 speed.

Talking about the M-60 while showing the M-2. SMH

Every one here knows about Barnes Wallis, Tallboy and Grandslam.

The U.S. Army strategy and tactics were not adapted to the terrain!! There should have been more air mobile!! The Khe Sanh campaign was a waste of lives !! Now that the N.V.A. have come out with their combat video archives,it proves that they had the upper hand !!

true heroe!

I love these type of stories and you told it great.

That's a "ma-deuce", not an m60. (just sayin')

Amazing story Where there any medals this brave man did not receive ?

Everytime I read or watch something about all Israeli wars, I just feel amazed with Israel, how a very small country can beat so many countries again and again and again, miracle is with Israel

and today your soldiers demand lasers, drones, and whatnot gizmos

Does anyone know if the US had access to or thought of using British Tall Boy/Grand Slam type weapons to eliminate cave defenses on islands like Iwo and Okinawa? Wouldn't they have helped minimize allied losses in the Pacific?

Is there a good film dedicated to this guy? Be better and more interesting then that over the top "American sniper"

Get your facts right, and change the title. Thumbs down for mistakes.

Its like as if all legendary warriors come from vietnam or either WWII

Why are so many nave members from Kansas?

Many many Hero's served in Vietnam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm glad you and other UA-camrs are describing these Veterans Stories and letting us know of their heroism! From WW-II, Korea and Vietnam its imperative to get those stories before we lose more to old age! Thanks!

Excellent work again. How about a video on Melvin Biddle? Or Richard Bong? Carlos Hathcock? Paul Smith? Any of these stories are amazing. Thank you for honoring courage under fire.
