    My dad was a ww2 veteran he passed away in 2003. He said that war was the most cruel and inhumane thing that mankind came up with. About 2 years before he died he told he was in a foxhole with a nother soldier. The soldier stuck his head up and got shot in the face and died. I can't imagine that I never served in the military. All veterans thank you for your service to this country .

    Extraordinary Lee Marvin was half of two of the best television episodes ever; this one, and the Bonanza episode "The Crucible" (title?). Vic Morrow and Pernell Roberts were two fine actors at the top of their games, because with Lee Marvin around, you had to be.

    Vic Morrow took over and turned all his characters into real people so easily it made Saunders like an actual person who existed and it showed how well it helped is fellow actors to become the characters they played.

    Hate and Fear -- closely intertwined (and relevant wherever there are human beings) As Sgt. Saunders insightfully points out in this real life story of masqueraded strength in human conflict. A universal insight as relevant today, as any person with the real strength Vic Morrow's character knows in their bones, and so exhibits in real life.

    Lee Marvin at that point in his career did not do television shows much as he was much in demand in motion pictures. But he said he did Combat because he wanted to work with Vic Morrow. They played off each other very well. Although another later episode, The Linesman with Jack Lord used the same basic plot device i.e. fellow non-com specialist has contempt for Saunders and his squad. But the acting makes is worthwhile.

    Both Lord and Morrow were tough for directors/producers to deal with. Very strong personalities. Lord and Morrow apparently got into a real row while filming God's Little Acre. But perhaps by the time they did Combat! they had gotten past it, both professionals. And both very good, dominant actors, so it's natural they would be on this show. BTW a friend of mine knew somone whose sister dated Vic Morrow back when he was just starting out as an actor. He said "If that guy Vic ever smiled his face would fall apart!". Very intense guy, even before he hit stardom! But, his legacy on this show lives on.

    Lee Marvin fought in one battle as a PFC, (E2) Marine. (Saipan) He was shot in the buttocks, and the foot. Hospitalized for over a year, and then medically discharged, for damage to his sciatic nerve. His medals consisted of a purple heart, a pacific campaign medal, a Battle of Saipan Medal, and a Pacific War Victory Medal. (That's all.) A PFC, (E2) in the USMC is a Private in the Army... He wasn't the hero you, and Hollywood, want to make of him. In fact, some tales he told on The Tonight Show, to Johnny Carson, were proven untrue, and became very controversial.

    The soundtrack is so thoughtfully done and expressive. There's an element of regret and loss when Sarge blows up the bridge, killing the two German soldiers standing on it. He does what he has to do -- but you can hear the pain of having to make those choices expressed in the music. It's never easy; never black and white. So well done.

    I used to love watching "Combat" with my dad when I was a teenager. My dad's work assignment changed so that he would be away on weekdays. My two younger brothers insisted on watching "Daktari" instead. My older brother intimidated me out of my choice. When my dad (the rule maker of the house) returned for the weekend I told him what happened. He got furious and declared: "Paul is going to watch Combat while I am away". And that was that! I got my way! Thanks dad (RIP).
