re: #184 Romantic Heretic

I was wrong. Murphy only won a single CoMH. I wonder where I got the idea he had two from.

Because he earned so many other awards, you can be forgiven for that error. Audie Murphy was the most decorated American serviceman of World War II, by a good margin.

Murphy’s stated reason for standing on a burning M-10 TD and firing its M2HB .50cal at attacking German infantry, “They were killing my friends.”, also tells you a great deal about the motivations and motivating of men in combat.
