Yeah, that was worth watching. Guys like him can deny it all they want to but they're heroes too.
Wild bunch they had there. Only four survived the mission.

commanded a group of rough men nicknamed “The Filthy 13,”
Then he joined the Post Office.
I'm guessing he had gotten about as much excitement as he cared to have in one lifetime RIP Sir

Glad I had the chance to see this video. This man and the others were true
men of steel.
I also did not know that the movie "Dirty Dozen" was based on a operation carried out during WW-II. God Bless this man, and may he RIP.
Although late, I wish to extend a Big Thank you for your service to this country.

James “Jake” McNiece, the leader of a World War II group that came to be known as the “Dirty Dozen”...McNiece commanded a group of rough men nicknamed “The Filthy 13"...Sixteen of his men were killed during the 36-day mission...Whatever the actual numbers were, it's a great story about great men, from an era when America was still great.
RIP

Well now....Didn’t the guy who’s parachute got entangled on the steeple, during that same raid, also just die in the past week or two?
Different movie?
Different raid?

If anyone wants to read the story try “The Filthy Thirteen” by Richard Killblane with Jake McNiece. (Casemate, 2003)
I never met Jake but Richard is a friend.
