Audie Murphy: Actions
built 277 days ago
Had Audie Murphy committed a vile crime later in life would that make what he did do meaningless? If a a child abuser rescues a group of people from a blazing building at risk of his or her own life is that action not heroic because of their past actions? Do we end up with some sort of quantity survey of heroism that totes up all deeds to then put people on a hero rating ("Sorry Mr and Mrs Jones, while you son did die saving the lives of 2 others he did cheat on his girlfriend and kick the cat - accordingly he is not a hero")

Audie decided to take action. Near his position was a burning tank destroyer. Audie climbed on top, and turned the machine gun on the approaching Germans. As he fired from the burning tank, the artillery began to land in earnest and the German advance faltered. For almost an hour, Audie continued to lay down fire on the Germans. When he ran out of ammunition, he dropped into the snow and discovered he had been wounded, his third, in the leg.

Murphy was wounded for a second time on October 26, 1944, when a shot from a sniper glanced off a tree and struck him. Three days passed before he could be evacuated, and by the time he made it to the hospital, the wound had become gangrenous. He spent the next two months out of action, but was back on the front lines by mid-January of 1945, during the coldest and snowiest winter Europe had seen in twenty-five years.
