@Tim Cantrell the 30 carbine round had the same muzzle velocity at 100 meters as a .357 magnum does at the muzzle. The rifle and round were just fine for what they were designed for.
"I was hit twice that day, in the hand and in the shoulder; but it's nothing you worry about!". REALLY! Unreal. This man deserves all the recognition that he can get. Is this guy still alive? Dammit, I see Wiki says he is still alive at 90 years of age - God Bless ya.
@@john-nx4xn no, not stolen valor. This warrior was a Congressional Medal of Honor recipient. I believe he also was awarded the Bronze star. Combat wounded in Korea and Vietnam. He was a career warrior, former First, possibly master, Sergeant of the army, former body bearer for the tomb of unknown soldier.
This guy deserves at least two or three Medals of Honor. This guy is Rambo and Clint Eastwood wrapped up in one man. He is a superhero Warrior. God bless you.
Holy mother of god.. that Guy should never have to work Another day in his life.. Best story I've ever heard about the Korean War..my God!!! RESPECT... Carry on sir
My thoughts exactly that's about it like there's no more to the story than that leaving your jaw dropped to the floor this guy fought like a cyborg a machine with no care for his own Well being absolutely amazing
He talked about going up the mountain and through the trench system killing Chinese soldiers as if he was just out for a morning jog. It's amazing that he speaks of what he did as if it was nothing at all. Truly a humble hero.
He deserved two medals of Honor. So many men fought to till their deaths and no one saw it happen. The unsung hero’s who were never recognized but they gave their all.
I happened on this video and as it played I was incredulous; what kind of story is this guy telling...I couldnt believe it. The more i watched and when I realized he was telling his own real story I STILL couldnt believe it. That such young men exist around us and we walk by them at work or at the store never knowing what they endured for those of us that walk on by. God bless him and all that serve.
Mr. Rosser, I hope you are alive and well this day. After seeing the video I can't imagine living through what you have done. Thank you for your service to our Country, Respect.
There is a really good interview with this guy. Audio is the way it should be. Unless it’s just my phone that’s playing the audio like this. He’s got credit for over 10,000 kills. Calling in artillery on whole regiments of North Korean & Chinese soldiers deadly accurate. Amazing story. It’s a movie script ready to go. Just get Spielberg on board. Or Eastwood
this man for whatever reason does not react to fear like normal people do he just reacts To protect and save the lives of his brothers that he is in combat with I'm Speechless by his actions
Mr. Rosser, from someone who's never served in the military, thank you for being a great American. Thank you for your service. It means a great deal to me. That said, what kind of chuckle-head, window licking, ANTIFA sympathizing SJW gave this video a "thumbs down"? As of the time of this comment, 23 sacks have done so. What, you don't like it that this Patriot defended himself and his fellow soldiers during war? Or do you not like the realization that this man, and the people of the veterans of the Armed Forces are beyond brave and mentally strong to a point ypu can't comprehend or compete with? Underneath all of your "feelings", does this video make you feel weak at your animalistic core?
"There were Chinese everywhere, but where I was at there was only a couple of hundred." Oh, well, then. Sounds like a walk in the park! A couple of hundred against one, This guy is tough and determined beyond belief!
If the story is 100% true and I have no doubt that it is he does not seem like anything he is saying is rehearsed or untrue he is truly an amazing man he was most definitely in amazing shape physically but he was a perfect example of courage adrenaline and a lot a luck to do what he did this is one the most fascinating war stories I've ever heard and I love military history war documentaries etc. WOW Is the only word that comes to mind he must have been in straight up Beast mode this man makes me proud to be an American I can't think of anyone would deserves the medal of honor more than him
That war whoop is what shocked and mentally froze the enemy. The Chinese never heard that before. His first and best distracting move. No doubt, God was shielding him...
Mr. Rosser saved many lives that day. I can't even imagine the cold that these soldiers had to endure, but they did. They had already attacked this mountain several times, once with a reinforced platoon and everyone except for Mr. Rosser was killed or wounded then they went back, were on the mountain facing annihilation and were ORDERED to attack again! WTF whoever was in their heated HQ telling these men over the phone to attack again should be charged with murder and hanged. Thank you for your service Mr. Rosser, you deserved the MOH and more...
God idk if id have the balls to run head on into a situation like he described. I just dont see how he did it. I just cant even imagine. Thats why it pisses me off so that people dont appreciate what these men went thru to give us the freedom we enjoy today. Thank you mr. Rosser.
Mr. Ronald Rosser , You are one of the meanest grass chewing beating your fists of the enemies souls like Hardcore Badass Silverback American... Thank you
wow what a soldier ,and the Korean war was called the forgotten war,not forgotten bye the troops that were there and especially this guy and the men he saved
We gotta make it to the trenches But were not gonna make it Yea but we gotta try -True American warriors spirit !!! God bless the warriors of the past and future
He has since passed but I would love to see at least the M.O.H citation read of SSG. Max Thompson of canton N.C. I knew him when I was a kid and when I found out what he did in ww2 it just amazed me.
Poem titled "Are you still there." Are you still there waiting - soldier? Is the sound of wind comforting to you. Is the mountains peaceful for resting? An orchestra is coming there soon, To help pass some of your time. The music of a deep love can help Wait for the orchestra. An orchestra is coming.
@@spencer6459 I totally understand your sentiment - truly a hero, sir. As you probably know, though - the AAR of the incident is what the MoH is based on. It is per situation, so even though one soldier/marine/sailor/airman might save, let's just say three of his comrades on that occasion all at once in one location and another saves 30 by having to go to many locations, since it is only a single action, the AAR will reflect that. That's how it works for bronze stars, silver stars, Distinguished Service Cross, etc. as well. When I was in at least, we would receive not only our Combat Infantry badge but my team leader, a Spec-4 at the time, was nominated for a bronze star in the first firefight we were engaged in. The reason I bring that up is not to say soldiers/marines/sailors/airmen are simply given commendations just for nothing, but the engagement lasted a good amount of time in comparison to many and naturally, just because there were multiple lulls in the fighting, it was obviously counted as a single engagement and thus any type of decoration would be for that single extended engagement despite the fact it took place over a relatively long period of time and would kick up at certain times and be completely quiet in some cases for longer than the total amount of fighting (a single lull might be as long as the entire length of the actual shooting engagement). Sorry for the long explanation as you probably know all of this anyway - I talk too much sometimes ;)
I absolutely agree! What a beast of an American! Look at Jared Monti. Pinned down by immense enemy fire, taking casualties, with men down out in the open. SFC Monti stopped a fellow soldier from attempting a rescue, and instead tried himself. Upon exposing himself, he was almost instantly cut down. Bled out and died. He saved no one. He didn't even reach the wounded men he intended on assisting. I'm not saying he isn't a hero.... but THAT is worthy of the Medal?.... Seriously? Stepping out of cover and immediately being killed? I'm so confused about that one. My uncle was killed in Vietnam (SFC L Beals). He was grievously wounded in the head, causing blindness and paralysis. He still managed to rally his men, direct air support and artillery, until he succumbed to his injuries. Bronze Star and a Purple Heart. Monti made it a few steps and was shot. No significant orders. No rally. No radio calls. Just, "No, , those are my men. I'll go." Zap!! Medal of Honor????!!!! Meanwhile Mr Rosser is frickin tearing through an unimaginable situation in beast-mode. Saving lives, distributing ammo, becoming a beacon of hope in a completely hopeless situation. He is definitely deserving of the MOH. He stands taller than any of us.
I really want to believe everything he said but, giving everything he said he probably did more than all the other medal of honor recipient's combined.
Rocky McAllister Mr. Ronald Rosser, all due respect to you sir. Seemingly a well mannered, salt of the earth and genuine human being. A man that did his duty and far more than was taught, told or even expected from any seasoned soldier; let alone a young drafted teenager. There are families alive today because of your selfless actions on that day! For them, I THANK YOU; FOR ME I THANK YOU! And for being a testament to the truest form of brotherly love, and respect... THE WORLD THANKS YOU. May you live to be a thousand years old. Your place in the heavens, earned as it is ; will be our loss! Much appreciated respect unto you! There's NEVER BEEN ENOUGH RESPECT FOR THE KOREAN WAR VETERANS IN MY OPINION! I WILL NEVER FORGET ANY OF YOU, OR MY FATHER!
One of my relatives won this medal at the battle of little big horn. My family has been career military men for many years and have fought in every major battle and some not known to most Americans and have came out of the battle with several awards. Hard not to think we were put here to do battle since its all my family knows. Some may call us dumb for fighting so much while others thank us. These are the people that realize if we are doing it they won't have to so to speak. Regardless we continue to choose to fight all battles with bravery and pride. I fear things are about to get very bad now that the American people have put Biden in office. We will be ready regardless. Here's some info about the battle my relative was in when he won his medal. AWARDED FOR ACTIONS DURING Indian Campaigns Service: Army Division: 7th U.S. Cavalry GENERAL ORDERS: Date of Issue: October 5, 1878 CITATION: The President of the United States of America, in the name of Congress, takes pleasure in presenting the Medal of Honor to Sergeant Benjamin C.

Sergeant Criswell rescued the body of Lieutenant Hodgson from within the enemy's lines; brought up ammunition and encouraged the men in the most exposed positions under heavy fire. As I said my entire family are career soldiers and all go until retirement from the service. Its all we know. We do it for this great country and its people. Even though our leaders don't have our best interests at heart but instead are in it for their own selfish reasons.
My father-in-law, Arthur Young chuckles whenever you hear somebody claimed that they are an atheist, because there is no such thing, trapped and surrounded at the chosin reservoir, finally they broke out and he commented they didn't retreat, they ran for their lives
my grandfather was one of the frozen chosin, He died in ‘03 when i was 6 and i never got the chance to talk to him about the war. I wish i was older, but i was told he never talked about the war much. I do know he was wounded and received a purple heart but i don’t know much more than that. His name was Harold riedinger from NJ . Does anyone know if there is anyway to track down what his platoon did in the war?
Okay, I was thinking Nam but this was Korea. I would have been a snot nosed kid when this happened. The war was over by the time I even learned it happened. They didn't call father up but they did ask if they could have his wool uniform back.
Ronald Rosser just passed away on my birthday, August 26th 2020. May He rest in eternal glory and find solace in the kingdom of heaven!
"I got my carbine goin on full auto and just raked em, before I knew it I had 6 dead and 1 wounded"
This man is an absolute warrior.
@Tim Cantrell the 30 carbine round had the same muzzle velocity at 100 meters as a .357 magnum does at the muzzle. The rifle and round were just fine for what they were designed for.
He has another interview on UA-cam about ww2 war story
Its hard to imagine he did all this without a wheelbarrow to carry his incredibly huge balls around
Wheelbarrow? A SEMI RIG !!

I was going to say something, but you said it all!

AWARDED FOR ACTIONS
DURING Indian Campaigns
Service: Army
Division: 7th U.S. Cavalry
GENERAL ORDERS:
Date of Issue: October 5, 1878
CITATION:

As I said my entire family are career soldiers and all go until retirement from the service. Its all we know. We do it for this great country and its people. Even though our leaders don't have our best interests at heart but instead are in it for their own selfish reasons.
