the history of audie murphy - a short story
Bookmarked 755 weeks ago friend me on facebook http:onfbmegcss8f today is the anniversary of the birth of audie murphy the war heroactor who039s real life accomplishments make rambo look like a sissy -----audie murphy was born in kingston hunt county tx he grew up on a farm near greenville tx and dropped out of school in the 5th grade to help support his family by plowing and picking cotton audie had always dreamed of joining the military and after the attack on pearl harbor he tried to enlist but was rejected as he was underage in june of 1942 after his 17th birthday his sister quotadjustedquot his birth date so that he seemed to be 18 giving him the legal ability to enlist he was turned down again and probably laughed at by the marines and the us army paratroopers because of his short 55 inch height and for being a meager 110 lbs both of which were under the minimum weight and height requirements for the military he was eventually accepted and sent to basic training where he passed out during a drill his company commander attempted to have him transferred to a cook and baker039s school but murphy insisted on becoming a combat soldier he accepted in and after rigorous training was shipped to casablanca morocco and then sicily while in italy he was promoted to corporal for his shooting skills and contracted malaria which he had for most of the war audie was then sent to southern france and on august 15th 1944 he encountered a german machine gun crew that pretended that they were surrendering but then shot audie039s best friend audie completely hulked out killed everyone in the gun nest and then used their weapons to kill every german soldier in a 100-yard radius including two more machine gun nests and a bunch of snipers audie was awarded a distinguished service cross which is second only to the medal of honor and made a platoon commander while presumably everyone else gave an apology for calling him quotshortyquot on january 26 1945 he was given the job to defend a critical region in france called the colmar pocket but all he had were 19 guys and a few m-10 tank destroyers the germans showed up with a bunch of men and a dozen tanks reinforcements weren039t coming for a while so murphy and his men hid in a trench and sent their m10s to go attack the tanks were badly damaged and instead of giving up the malaria-stricken murphy ran up to a crippled m-10 hopped behind the 50 caliber machine gun and started shooting at everything in sight by the way i forgot to mention that the tank he was on was on fire and had a full tank of gas audie kept it for about an hour until he ran out of bullets he then got off the tank and walked back to his men as the m-10 exploded behind him probably while in slow motion a la epic action moviemurphy was given every single medal out there and then when they ran out of medals to give him they gave doubles of ones he already had which racked his medal count to 33 after seeing audie039s photo on the cover of life magazine he was brought to hollywood to be an actor over the next few years he didn039t see much work and became very disillusioned but in 1949 he got his big break in the movie bad boy he went on to write his autobiography to hell and back which was then made into a movie which he starred in as himself he had parts of the film omitted so that the audience didn039t think that he was exaggerating the events that happened or that he was making stuff up for 20 years it was the highest grossing film that universal studios made it took a movie about a giant man-eating shark to top audie murphy039s awesomeness in his short career he acted in over 44 films and in addition to his movie career he also became a country music song writer on may 28 1971 during memorial day weekend audie murphy was killed at age 46 when his private plane crashed into a mountain near virginiaalthough there is a tragic ending to this story the legacy of audie murphy live on that039s the history of audie murphy |

despotism 1946
Bookmarked 472 weeks ago like a set piece from quotthe price is rightquot crossed with wwii era propaganda posters arrows slide up and down along graphics of shirtless workers being oppressed or liberated indicating despotism or democracy propaganda or free press etc it039s one or the other in this simplistic black-and-white educational film: there are no shades of gray there are no other options the message may be valid urging you to rate your own community and its values but these actor-illustrated examples are so cartoonish and so specific to wwii that they practically ensure you wouldn039t recognize despotism in your neighborhood unless soldiers walked around with black armbands harrassing quothebrewsquot and zieg heil-ing a swastika-esque flag the ministry of propaganda has a brass plaque labeling it quotministry of propagandaquot gee with clues this subtle it039s easy to see why we would need a film to educate us about despotismit can039t happen here right folksproducer: encyclopaedia |
