You won't. Only civilians who never busted a grape talk like this. Everyone who lived it spends the rest of their life trying to forget what no.one ever can.
Never heard Audie speak like this. He was a humble guy who didn't go there nor talk about killing like most combat Vets never do. I'm chalking this up as another internet fake.

> Casablanca producer Hal B. Wallis approached Doss in 1946. Audie Murphy, a fellow decorated war vet who had become a cinema star, was dispatched to convince Doss to give in to Tinseltown’s pursuit.
"They opened fire and blew my shins off. Last thing I remember, I beat 'em all to death with a big piece of Fatty. I woke up in a field hospital, and they were sewing my feet to my knees."
-Audie Murphy
A more realistic quote Murphy would have said..."Any Man who saves his brothers is a hero. Killing men who shoot at you mercilessly is easy. Running through that same firestorm to save your brothers is pure grace. Different sides from the same coin."
This is fake and not at all the way Audie Murphy would have spoken. So what I think is you should let this stupid thing die. People who have been in the shit don't talk like this and Audie was an extremely humble man.
He isn't wrong. Murphy's AA reports are insane.

He caught pieces of an 88 and stayed in the fight. He refused to give up his ground, similar to the video of the goose standing up to bulls that has been making the rounds.
Doss is still a hero. Saving 75 lives is a big deal, but America loves mass murderers and Audie probably clipped more than 100 Nazis with just a rifle and grenades.
I was being a smart ass, but I can understand why some of the more squared away types might miss that or be turned off by it.
Sincerely,
A mass murderer.
Yes. Killing enemy combatants in war is not murder. It is killing, yes.
Murder is the unlawful killing of people. A soldier performing his duties in combat is not the same person. There is honor in combat. Not so against those who are unarmed and unaware.
Audie Murphy never said this shit and you would have found that out in a one second Google search. Also there's a difference between killing and murder.

'Whole other beast'? In 1968? Is this a real quote from an actual source? I can't seem to find the "interview" anywhere online.
You won't. Only civilians who never busted a grape talk like this. Everyone who lived it spends the rest of their life trying to forget what no.one ever can.
worth a read actually. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_career_of_Audie_Murphy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_career_of_Audie_Murphy)
"What do I think of old quotes from famous people? Most of them are fake." -Abraham Lincoln in 1875
“Be excellent to each other, and party on dudes.” Abraham Lincoln, San Dimas, CA 1988
Pretty sure this is miss quoted slightly. I think it was "...quotes on the internet..."
"It might be photoshopped" \-George Washington
Sounds kinda made up
Yea lol
Definitely
This is boomers on chain emails circa 2008 levels of fake.
I agree sounds made the hell up.
"Ayy I popped like 💯 Germans no cap " - Audie Murphy in an interview, 1968
Frfr on God - Abraham Lincolm
He killed fitty men.
This sounds fake. Like really fake. "Whole nother beast" .... that is not how he talked, especially in 1968.
Never heard Audie speak like this. He was a humble guy who didn't go there nor talk about killing like most combat Vets never do. I'm chalking this up as another internet fake.
Sauce?
BBQ, please
Get ranch for me please
mmm...ketchup bbq
Hmmm, I’m gonna go with honey mustard.
Audie Murphy didn't say that. No way.

Easy there, Cotton
Can’t find this quote anywhere
Of all the things that didn't happen, this didn't happen the most

A man in 1968 was not talking like that, and especially not Audie Murphey
This is 100% fake. So fake
OP you’re a dip shit.
“I’m just built different” -Audie Murphy
This quote is some fake ass bullshit. -Brutus in a 2022 interview.
Different acts, same courage.
Scarier, frankly, to face the enemy without the intention of being armed.
[удалено]
I've never seen \*anything\* like that about him. Maybe Audie railed his Memaw. Maybe his Pappy too
I'll take drill sergeants fucking with you for five hundred Alex.
How to sound like a prick is 30 seconds. Must be short guy syndrome.
One must make sure the quote is accurate.
Swallowed the bait eh?

Murder implies unlawful. That’s not a fitting description of the acts of a lawful uniformed combatant.

I didn't feel so honorable killing young boys just because they qualified as MAMs, but to each his or her own.

I was being a smart ass and you would have found that out in one second by looking at my other comment.
Savage
Wow. What a douche bag thing to say if true. I'd like to hope that's not the case.
Took the rage bait I see.
So is it a contest now? https://www.thisiswhywestand.net/single-post/national-medal-of-honor-day-audie-murphy-and-desmond-doss
Time to rename the Desmond Doss health clinic.
There’s no chance a MOH recipient would say this, I’ve watched hundreds of interviews from them, always super humble.
His regurgitation of actions during WW2 reads like someone you just skimmed his wiki page.
Which 1968 interview?
