Giant Killer

Фильм және анимация

At just 4 feet 9 inches Richard J Flaherty was a giant of a soldier. He was determined to join the army despite being too short. Once in the army he was mercilessly bullied and called names such as Private Mighty Mouse. But despite all the setbacks he was a tough recruit and eventually won the respect of the other men. Exceptionally brave and tough he excelled in the jungles of Vietnam, going behind enemy lines to save men that were trapped and isolated. Serving in many theaters of war, he ended up homeless when he met David Yuzuk, a Miami police officer who put the Giant Killer's life story onto paper.

    it was a real thing back then. Blame Reagan for giving the ATF unlimited power after splitting from the IRS. Unchecked by anyone, and fully backed by the House and half-backed by the senate and half-backed by the supreme court, who basically made a statement that congress may issue a 100000% tax on items if they choose to and that the ATF are free to interpret the law to their own benefits to make prosecution of all much quicker.

    Richard James Flaherty (November 28, 1945 - May 9, 2015) was a Captain in the United States Army who served in the Vietnam War. Due to his small stature (he was just 4'9" tall), he was known as "The Giant Killer". He was the shortest US serviceman in history.

    In WW1 the British had 'Bantam' Battalions comprising of short men, from mining towns. There's a wartime photo somewhere showing one of them handing over his section of the line to a soldier in a Guards Battalion, where you had to be over 6ft to join. Great story Yarnhub, & a very brave & determined man. Such a shame the governments don't realise what they have.

    This doesn't tell the whole story about his ending which some suspect was an assassination: "After Flaherty’s death, Yuzuk kept digging, researching, and confirming. He located witnesses and found documentation in a storage unit that revealed that even while homeless, Flaherty was still conducting clandestine missions around the world-Cambodia, Iraq, Jordan, Venezuela-but who was he working for? The CIA? Private contractors? Or were his missions something much darker? "

    The only difference between Jack Reacher (fictional) and Richard Flaherty (real) is height and mass. Fighting spirit, determination, and dedication to the mission and to the men he commanded are the same. I'd follow a guy like Flaherty into the gates of Hell if that was the mission.

    I truly feel a big step up in animations with this one! It felt like I was watching an amazing TV show! Emotions and movements are more and more realistic, and so many details, like the slow mo shivering of tree canopy when helis hovered by, make these stories so enjoyable to watch! I’m a huge fan, keep educating us with this amazing content!

    Watch a recent video from a Marine titled “Being short in the Marines.” In it the Marine talks about small men are much better geared for their job and he would actually prefer when it comes to doing the job. He also talked about how a tiny Filipino NCO was one of the most feared and respected dudes he knew in the Marines.
