Fun fact about Audie Murphy: By 1968, he was in bad financial circumstances from his gambling and a bad business deal. In spite of his financial difficulties, Audie Murphy refused to star in cigarette and alcohol commercials, mindful of the influence he would have on young people. He was more than just a brave soldier; he was a man of decency and integrity.

Rest in peace, Audie Murphy. You were a legend and a fighter.

Just rediscovered this song. Audie Murphey is still a hero here in East Texas. I once got to read letters home by one of his men, (who apparently moved here after the war). He was there when Murphy stood on the burning tank firing everything the gun had at the Germans. Unlike in the famous movie there was six foot of snow on the ground, and the author of the letter wrote that he asked Murphy why he stood on that burning tank emptying the gun, Murphy replied "It was warm!" A more Texan answer was never given... God rest his soul.

Yeah, the music is incredible. But Sabaton is doing important work in telling real stories from history. They may not receive the highest acclaim, but they are absolutely one of the most important bands in modern history.

Fun Fact: the man you see playing Audie Murphy in the video(the combat scenes), is actually Audie Murphy. After the War they wanted to make a documentary about his exploits and had him play himself

Fun fact: in Audie Murphy's post-war acting he was once asked to show his 'war-face' for the camera, it freaked out the crew so much they did not dare use the take.

when you want to sleep but sabaton is playing some bangers in the other room

Me: listening to this song Dad: enters the room Dad: pause that song Me: Why Dad: I have bigger speaker here

Both the actor and the band deserve a high five and a jar full of cookies.

I survived the bombing of Belgrade in '99. I was 13 years old. Bombs were everywhere every night. Now I have neighbours upstairs who make a lot of noise. Every single step and bump from my neighbors explodes in my head. I literally cry every time I watch this video. Don't bomb countries please. Kids will get fucked up. Much love from Serbia.

When asked after the war why he had seized the machine gun and taken on an entire company of German infantry, Audie Murphy replied, "They were killing my friends." That hits me in the feels.

A great actor and true hero . Gone well before his time.

Going insane cause he's trying to sleep with sabaton playing next door. Poor guy...

This is awesome; to me, this shows that the band plays songs about all aspects of war, and that they care about the people it affects. They don't just play songs about great warriors and glory and shit like that.

Damn, I started paying attention to Sabaton a couple of weeks ago and it's impossible to get their songs out of your head

As a former soldier and a disabled veteran, I cannot say how truly amazed I am with this band. Not only is their music terrific, they do not play favorites. They are apolitical. They salute soldiers of all stripes, regardless of the flag they fought under. They recognize that the fighting men (and women) of all nations) are united by the sweat and blood that they have shed, whether they wielded rifles or swords or were mounted on warhorse or biplanes and that war is war. Whether the wars are just or not, the men and women that have fought them were more or less much like myself. I was no hero, just an 11M. The injury that I sustained was a training accident and when my unit was deployed to what would become Desert Storm, I was cut loose although I fought tooth and nail to go with them. I was the last M60 gunner in the 3/41st INF, and all they had left were SAW gunners. My departure from the unit left them without my pig. For three years I had struggled with a bad AC joint, no assistant gunner, and numerous problems with my chain of command. I had carried my hog, the spare barrel, the spare barrel, the tripod, 400 rounds of ammo, the rest of my equipment and often been saddled with obstacle breaching gear, to fulfill my job to the best of my ability. I underwent surgery for my busted shoulder but it only got worse and my COC shuttled me from job to job during my recovery. I had stood back-to-back CQ duties. I had served as battalion and company clerk. I had assisted the NBC and communication NCOs. I worked for the S2. I trained soldiers for the EIB in grenade recognition and vehicle recognition. My wife and I drew posters with the grenades on them. I went to the division microcomputer course but ended up teaching it. I loved the Army, but I was in a rotten unit. I was stationed at Fort Hood. We had a 2% re-enlistment rate. Men with 18 years in refused to re-enlist because they had to stay at Fort Hood in the 3/41st. I saw soldier after soldier find ways to take a less than honorable discharge just to get out of the unit. At one time, there were 11 congressional inquiries going on at the same time on my unit. I saw numerous horrendous training injuries and a few deaths caused by careless leadership and indifference. My last captain led us on a night patrol where he insisted on crossing a wadi in blackout conditions with a thunderstorm in the distance. The dismount was halfway across when we were hit by a flashflood. One minute the wadi was dry, the next a waist-high wall of water slammed into us, washing half the dismount element of the company downstream and stringing us out for a distance of around three miles. A ten klick patrol ended up taking us off post and turning into a thirty klick journey to nowhere. We ended up on some civilian's ranch. When we eventually made it back, we were loaded up on the tracks, hauled back to the barracks and had to clean both Bradley crew's and our equipment, as well as that of the officers and command staff. This was SOP for C 3/41. I love the Army. I fondly remember old 2 AD. I hate the 3/41st with a burning passion. Don't get me wrong, not every NCO or officer in the 3/41 was incompetent, mean spirited, or a demon from hell sent to Earth for the sole purpose of making soldier's and their family's lives an unendurable nightmare. It was the few that were, however, and the first sergeants and commanding officers that permitted these individuals to act with impunity or who condoned and encouraged such behavior, that made the 3/41st what it was and what ruined so many soldiers. It is also the reason so many former members of 3/41, like myself, are drawing medical disability.

Lets talk about audie Murphy CHARGE AND AN ATTACK GOING TO HELL AND BACK

This song and video have only one disadvantage... Way too short.

This was one of the first Sabaton songs I heard, and the one that made me really respect them. Really showing the true horrors of war and the damage done to the survivors. Makes me really proud of both my grandfathers, who did their duty and served in world war 2.
