Well, I made a tiktok for the podcast. I intend on doing updates for episodes, as well as the occasional history meme and cat videos as my cats love to be on camera. If you'd like to show the show support, you can follow us on tiktok .

Wars bring out the worst in people, but sometimes they also bring out the best in people. Going above and beyond is not just about standing your ground or killing a lot of enemy soldiers; sometimes it is about going above and beyond what it means to be a soldier in combat and putting your humanity before your duty. Tonight, we talk about Richard Rowland Kirkland, a man who put his human need to help people above his fear of being killed earning him the nickname "The Angel of Marye's Heights".

Tonight we talk about the most decorated soldier in all of WWII and one of the most decorated in all of American history. Audie Murphy was a super soldier, but he also went on to have a successful career in acting. In this episode, I will cover the military aspect of his life, but to hear the acting part of it, you will need to pop on over to I Love Old Movies - The Podcast to hear, hosts, Derek and Sam tell you all about it. This father/daughter duo has a fantastic podcast that explores old movies and the some of the actors that made them possible. A link to their episode can be found right here https://anchor.fm/iloveoldmovies/episodes/ILOM---Episode-17---To-Hell-And-Back-e1anv1d

Also, Audie Murphy suffered, greatly, from PTSD, if you are a veteran who suffers, as well and feel you are on the path to destruction, please call 1-800-273-8255 or visit https://www.veteranscrisisline.net/ . You do not need to fight alone.

Imagine you are in the jungles of Vietnam and your position is being overran by enemy forces. You have been critically wounded and feel you are going to die, but just as all hope seems lost, you look over to see a lone soldier with a knife in one hand and a first aid bag in the other running towards you. For the next six hours, you hold you position with this crazy man as you see he has been shot multiple times, blown up, stabbed and beaten, yet, he still fights. This is exactly what happened on the night of May 2nd, 1968 and that man was Roy Benavidez. Hear his incredible story on tonight's episode.

I plan to do a Q&A within the next few weeks as an episode. The structure of the episode will be determined by the number of questions I get, but the gist will be that you, the listener, can email the show or message the page a question you have about history and I will answer them. The questions do not have to be specific to a time period, but must be related to military or general history.

To submit your question, email the show at [email protected] or message the show directly from the page. If you would like for me to include your name along with the question, please let me know. If you do not specify whether or not you would like to remain anonymous, I will default to leaving your name out. Thanks for all your support and we hope to see you in the next episode.

In combat, the fear of death is enough to motivate a soldier to continue to fight. To Gurkhas, the fear of dying without making your enemy work for is what motivates them. They are some of the fiercest fighters in the world and never back down from a fight. Tonight, we look into two Gurkhas that made their enemies pay for it. This is the story of Lachhiman Gurung and Dipprasad Pun.
