I was 13 years old when Combat hit the tv screen. I'm 73 now and I STILL enjoy watching these episodes. The battle and bombardment scenes were top notch, the acting was superb, and the stories, whether about battle situations or human interest were just nothing less than excellent. Maybe that's why I still watch the show here on You Tube
I absolutely idolized this wonderful program I began watching the series in 1962 I am now 70 Years Old and Im so happy that YOU TUBE is running all the episodes again May God Bless all the actors Vic Morrow the finest actor in the world Rick Jason like wise Peirre Peabody Carter and Kirby all of which I love and admire so much MAY GOD BLESS THE COMBAT TV SHOW
I remember watching this as a kid back in 1963 and being scared to death that Cage would be discovered to be an American soldier when he attempted to cross the bridge with the baby and then being scared again when Saunders and the rest got caught in that artillery barrage. To watch a show like this as a little kid was quite an experience. You live through the episode, you get scared, you get happy, you almost cry. Looking back, it was a privilege to feel all of that by just watching a great TV show.
One of my favorite Combat episodes ever! This is one of the episodes I remember watching as a ten year old. Made a big impression on me then. Sixty years later, still a great show.
Lately now I have been watching one episode after another and I think I am getting more out of them than ever before....When you yourself have been a Soldier, and you cross many bridges through this life of ours, you look at a show like this from a far different perspective than you did as a small boy watching it...This show is rich....It is like old gold that just got rubbed off to sparkle yet again for for this Soldier, and I value these episodes, and lessons, more than ever...
At 61 having raised 5 children I feel that way watching any of the great old movies having watched them as a kid, now again approaching the elder years. Too bad my grand children won’t be able to watch quality shows like this on TV. Everything has turned to garbage with entertainment fir the last 25 years.
I never forget all TV series of Combat every Saturday night 7 pm. Now I'm 52 years old. I start watching combat 6 year old. 1974. Now I'm happy to recall watching again.. I love this series. Staring always Vic Morrow & Rick Jason as a 2 lieutenant. I never forget this 2 guy.
Vic Morrow as Sgt. Saunders: Perhaps the most truly enduring character in television history. I am watching in sequence again after 50 years and appreciate it more than I ever could have then.
I'm 64. My third time around. I was a kid with my plastic helmet and tommy gun and plastic grenade with the cap inside in front of that TV once a week waiting to throw that grenade. Since I've been older now watching on internet, I see how much of the drama and moral issues I didn't understand as a kid. We kids played a lot of army OUTSIDE, not in front of a screen with buttons in our hands.
I watched this with my dad. I was 7 when it debuted. My dad enjoyed it because it was a tribute to the infantry and not the glamorous flyboys. After the show, he'd spread out a map of 1944 Europe and we'd trace the areas shown in the show that episode. I'll always be grateful to the show and my dad for teaching me about WWII.
I too watched this show from the original airing in 1963 of the series. My father was one of those “flyboys” but their survival was worse than anyone could imagine. He was shot down on his forth mission and spent the next 5-1/2 months evading Kruts in occupied France.
One of the best hour long dramas ever produced , almost a full hour of story, instead of twenty four plus minute of commercials and thirty-seven minutes of drama .
Every actor cast in these episodes are terrific. There are no small roles.the cast speaks with their eyes and the director and actors take their time very different from rushed episodic network TV of today.
"stevegreenstein6794," " . . . very different from rushed episodic network TV of today." VASTLY IMPROVED from rushed episodic network TV of today. Thank goodness for UA-cam presenter "GR160289" and the authorized, full seasons DVD sets for the opportunity to experience THESE 60-year old TV episodes of the HIGHEST caliber that 'hold up' forever.
Vic Morrow was a perfect fit for his role as Sgt. Saunders loved him on this show he had grit guts and compassion all the characteristics of a great leader !!
The Sarge was most disturbed by the beauty of innocence of the infant in a world gone mad with war. I’ve heard horror stories from Vietnam Vets killing off villages during the Vietnam War in Veterans hospitals as a nurse in the 1990’s. Some I can not repeat. War does horrible psychological things to soldiers. This episode was most touching and common place with WW2 Veterans. The greatest generation of Americans the world will ever see.
Thank you so much for posting the best show ever, Combat, power packed with life lessons and illustrated sermons for us in these perilous times, to inspire us to keep on going and to not give up.
One of the the Greatest programs in TV history and always will be !...Vic Morrow (sgt.saunders) a great natural actor ! Loved Cage ! Combat ! One of the Best !!

I was born 1956. Growing up a lot of us had dads and uncles that were in WW2. I watched this show all the time. Me and my friends used to play Combat with wooden weapons our dads whittled or carved out of boards for us.
I use to love Combat when I was a kid. This episode was in 1963, I was five years old in 1963 and I'm 54 now. The babies used have to be about 49 or 50 years of age now.
"One more for the Road" [1963] First Season; Episode #29.

Smith Jr.,01/31/2015, Saturday, Vietnam War Veteran...>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I started watching about 9 years old in 64. This show made a impression on me, I have been fascinated by WW 2 ever since. At 67, there is still much to learn.
Vic morrow as Sargent Saunders is excellent and flawless and consumate You can never find a actor like him today and forever I loved him as a kind before and today nearing 65 year I really loved and missed him very much His acting as Sargent Saunders is real genius He is a true legend and more famous than the idiotic John landis
A great episode. Everybody winds up risking his life for the baby and one soldier actually gets killed. The ending is a tear-jerker. No one says anything but much is conveyed through the acting.
I watched shows like this and others as a kid growing up, they inspired me to be in the US Army. I later got to live my dream and gave our country 38 years of my life! Not everybody gets to live out their dream!
Not just you. COMBAT! put the interest of being an Army soldier in my head throughout my childhood and teenage years. I too joined the U.S. Army but only did 9 years. I wished I did 20 though.
This brings back a good memory of my best friend, and my youngest while she was still a baby. My friend was a street wise kind of guy. Had the reputation of being one of the toughest characters in town. Even had the obligatory broken nose as a testament to his toughness, and regular fighting. I came to my work place one day to get something from the store, I worked at a little neighborhood store in the worst neighborhood in town. My friend Kim was in the back parking lot talking with 3 or 4 very young wannabe tough guys. As I was getting my kiddo out of her car seat this pair off hands came out from behind me and grabbed my baby out of my hands. I had a fist doubled up and pulled back as I turned around, but it was no threat, it was friend Kim. He started said "Hi." to me then held my baby above his head and started talking to her. I looked over at Kim's tag along buddies. They all stared with very confused looks on their faces. Here was a guy they more or less idolized for being so tough, for his reputation of being the kind of guy you don't mess with, and he had forsaken their company to play with a baby.
Ironic that Vic carried the baby into gods arms and 17 years later would carry two other children and himself into his arms. A terrible tragedy. RIP Mr Morrow.
@@donshively9395 that's not true we all live and we all die sometimes an accidents takes Our Lives sometimes we get killed by another human being and other times we die because what we did to ourselves.
This tv series was my main motivation to take three years of German Language training in high school (1967-1970 a skill set that served me well during my cold war tour of duty in Nuremberg Germany 1976-1979)
As a little girl i had one brother that was glued to the tv screen watching this show. While the others were playing there we were side by side watching the best show I've ever seen... still am 🙂
@@OKBAOK He probably suffering from deep depression, wasn't getting medicine 💊 or he tried to deal with on his own. I think he suffered from lack self confidence in himself through out his life. Personal issues at home caused him commit suicide?
@@OKBAOK He was fantastic in the series, all of the cast. Combat!! Wasn't just a WWII T.V. action series, it made you think 🤔!! It was moral dilemmas, and men struggling with their personal demons, struggle of Army life and etc.
Great episode, I could only imagine having to care for a baby behind enemy lines, Favorite childhood military series , one of the reasons I joined the Army, Vic Morrow made a great squad leader , I would have made him a E-6 Staff Sgt instead of an E5 Buck Sgt, every squad leader we had in every company over 4 years was Staff Sgt E6. In my 60's and Now I understand why my dad only liked to watch the all of his old westerns which I now watch as well!
Don't ya just love the way Sarge snaps up his rifle and shoves his helmet down his forehead when he knows that his guys have just seen the big tough guy being a softie? Still, when Sarge shoves that helmet down, mess with him at your peril!
I love that the nun who takes the baby at the end says something in French, and Saunders, who doesn't know French, replies "I know you will." That's the perfect end to this story.
Television sets, even black and white, were still not household commons in my country during my elementary school days. Those were the days my cousins and classmates who had TV used to tell stories about COMBAT. I got to watch very few episodes and I don't even remember which, watching them every little chance I get. Now at 70, it's good we have UA-cam and all the advances in technologies. Thanks to the tech people for the internet. Now, I've found some of my favorite episodes watching the series. This is one of them.
One more great example of the acting skills of Vic Morrow. I found this episode particularly moving when I remember how Vic actually met his death in a helicopter accident on the set of "The Twilight Zone Movie." He was actually carrying two little children in his arms, a little boy, and a little boy. All three died at the scene. This was a tragic foretelling of a life taken much too soon. But thank God we still have his wonderful performances to remember on film, forever. RIP, Vic Morrow, Renee Shinn Chan, and Myca Dinh Le.
@@ellenscolnik2446 They were all paid off by Universal Studios. Vic and the boy were instantly decapitated, the little girl survived for several minutes, nearly cut in two.
I'm watching this again,it just hit me that VIC MORROW DIED WITH TWO CHILDREN,tears running down my face like a kid,thinking he left with two little angels,gives new meaning to this show after the fact,what a world
Military Lessons learned from COMBAT! #14) Don’t be surprised if your gruff sergeant turns out to be the most compassionate human being in the world. Saunders proved his essential decency, caring nature, resilient spirit, and honest tough-love compassion many times in this series. I have by now watched nearly every episode here.
I own all the seasons of Combat, I love this series. This best episode in Combat, it funny hard ass stg Saunders soft at the end of the episode. I am 50 i discovered this show as a teenager my Ralph showed me the series and I was hooked.
Combat one of my favorite TV shows when I was a kid back in the 60's. I used to watch it on the weekends at around 5pm. Ahh, the good old days when life was simpler with no mobiles or PC's.
Oh,give him a break...the only TV show I absolutely remember when and that was StarTrek, Thursday night 8 PM because my parents allowed me to watch a show past my bedtime! @@markbeaudry2469
@@kevinp8212 I agree, that was a long time ago. I watched it back then but don't remember what day of the week it was. The only show I remember for sure what day was Bewitched on Thursday evening.
Imagine the love in the Sarges heart and the men , after seeing what they’ve saw ,and not being able to trust anything or anyone! And to be able to save something so pure ! Very touching! 🙏🏻🇺🇸
At the very end, the "bonne sœur" (nun) says" don't worry, we'll take good care of him". Saunders understood the idea if not the words. Indeed, a perfect ending. Another epic épisode. Thank you for the upload.
I finally DID it! I searched ALL the episodes from the first, looking for when Kirby finally got his BAR! He was complaining about it in early episodes. He was supposed to get the BAR when their BAR man was killed around episode 8, I think. He was the ammo bearer. He knew how to service and use the weapon. They devoted a third of an episode as Kirby extolled the virtures of the Squad Automatic that surely HE would inherit. Then they dropped the issue for 10 or 15 episodes. Now, right here, at Episode 29, he "blink" appears with the BAR! Wow. My father was the BAR man during the Korean War, so this has been a "mission" for me. No explaination for the delay. He just pops up with it. Dad said that his shot so fast it was almost like a "single shot weapon" on full automatic. You could barely save any of the rounds in the 20 round magazine if you squeezed the trigger on full auto. "It cut things in half," he said. The armorer "took good care" of Dad's weapon he said. Good to know that in episode 29, Kirby finally gets his wish. Now, you guys sit back down and let me watch this masterpiece of early TV drama.
@@kevinwilson9589 Yeah, pretty sure you're right. I've been watching the series in order from S1E1 and noticed that too. Guess they started making enough money to get a hold of some of that hard to find equipment.
As a kid, COMBAT was my favorite TV show, hands down! Our family didn't even have a TV, used to watch the show at a neighbor's house thru their screen door! (They'd usually invite me in to watch it tho). I'll be 69 yrs old in a few days, and I still love that show! ⁷
I grew up watching the show too. Fell in love with the Sarge and Kirby. My first real 'crushes'. I never forgave the network for not bringing the guys home. We invested so much in their lives overseas, it wasn't fair that we didn't get to see if they got home okay. I grew up to be a fanfic writer. I wrote a story that brought them back to the states. Funny how life goes in a circle. lol. You'll be glad to know, Sarge got a girl who worked on the Manhatten Project. She's just perfect for him and a redhead. I always got the impression...he kinda liked redheads.
Kirby is a wise ass but deep down he's a good guy, a great Soldier, and he has guts...I probably would have told him to shut the hell up to a few times....
Oops. I spelled Eric Braden’s real name wrong. It was Hans Jorge guildgast. Sorry about that. Oh and by the way Jennifer did not hate her father Vic morrow. It was a disagreement that wasn’t resolved at the time. You know how you argue with some one and nobody wants to kiss and make up. And let’s just say it was hard to do that after her father was accidentally killed by the helicopter blade. I’m sure they both still love each other very much. Hate is so close to love. And love cannot be pushed away. Combat was always an excellent show. And the actress that plays in this is an great actress❤
Even men melt down I have taken in 8 and adopted two in my name. There is more to life than Money ,Good men and women show their hearts by helping others and taking in the weak, the crippled and ones that need guidance in this world. I praise the Men and Women that have shown thier hearts to all.. In short May God Bless us All Amen.
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR MAKING THESE PROGRAMS AVAILABLE. I RECENTLY HAD MY CABLE DISCONNECTED BECAUSE THERE WAS NOTHING TO WATCH. UA-cam IS MY NEW EVENING VIEWING .
Watched the re-runs abt 1970. Loved it then, and I love it now. I was stationed in CA when Vic Morrow, and the 2 Vietnamese children were killed in the accident. May the 3 of them 4ever RIP.❤ Vic played a soldier vy well 4A sailor.
Was watching this episode thinking how I never seen this one before and then that scene with Vic Morrow carrying the baby with the explosions from the bombs going off around him and I had a chill run down my spin

Yeah, soon as I heard the first new guy's name, I knew he'd be dead. Almost as bad as being a "Red Shirt" on Star Trek.

@@TheEvilDrR Same here. You just knew that one or both of the new guys were goners. One actually made it though. Rare.

I recognized the guy who gets killed from shows like Green Acres and beach party movies. I see the baby was played by the Monroe twins; Ralph and Alf?
Vic morrow as Sargent Saunders is excellent and flawless and consumate You can never find a actor like him today and forever I loved him as a kind before and today nearing 65 year I really loved and missed him very much His acting as Sargent Saunders is real genius He is a true legend and more famous than the idiotic John landis
Saunders is rough and tough but, he has a heart made of gold and Caje is a GENIUS.
Yes☺
Best show of my youth. Every kid loved this show
A great episode. Everybody winds up risking his life for the baby and one soldier actually gets killed. The ending is a tear-jerker. No one says anything but much is conveyed through the acting.
Really enjoyed this episode myself
I watched shows like this and others as a kid growing up, they inspired me to be in the US Army. I later got to live my dream and gave our country 38 years of my life! Not everybody gets to live out their dream!
Not just you. COMBAT! put the interest of being an Army soldier in my head throughout my childhood and teenage years. I too joined the U.S. Army but only did 9 years. I wished I did 20 though.
I watched this show growing up and I am 72 years old.
One of the best episodes,these guys showed heart and compassion for the child,where are people like this in 2024.
Just started watching!wow,it's addictive & timeless!!!
Love this show now more than ever im 64 and i started watching it when i.was 5.or 6.years old 👍
What a wonderful child.......they all are
This brings back a good memory of my best friend, and my youngest while she was still a baby. My friend was a street wise kind of guy. Had the reputation of being one of the toughest characters in town. Even had the obligatory broken nose as a testament to his toughness, and regular fighting. I came to my work place one day to get something from the store, I worked at a little neighborhood store in the worst neighborhood in town. My friend Kim was in the back parking lot talking with 3 or 4 very young wannabe tough guys. As I was getting my kiddo out of her car seat this pair off hands came out from behind me and grabbed my baby out of my hands. I had a fist doubled up and pulled back as I turned around, but it was no threat, it was friend Kim. He started said "Hi." to me then held my baby above his head and started talking to her. I looked over at Kim's tag along buddies. They all stared with very confused looks on their faces. Here was a guy they more or less idolized for being so tough, for his reputation of being the kind of guy you don't mess with, and he had forsaken their company to play with a baby.
Excellent, sir! And I can imagine WOE, Dear God, WOE to ANYONE who'd razz Kim about your baby.
Ironic that Vic carried the baby into gods arms and 17 years later would carry two other children and himself into his arms. A terrible tragedy. RIP Mr Morrow.
that death of Vic was Spielburg" fault
greg spain John Landis, not Speilburg.
God wanted him to come home, folks. Terrible loss.@@travismcdonald6576

R.I.P Vic Morrow
The real good old American soldiers, Thank you.
This tv series was my main motivation to take three years of German Language training in high school (1967-1970
a skill set that served me well during my cold war tour of duty in Nuremberg Germany 1976-1979)
It made my heart warm.
The baby's real mother must have been beside him during photographing
As a little girl i had one brother that was glued to the tv screen watching this show. While the others were playing there we were side by side watching the best show I've ever seen... still am 🙂
Touching ending. Thanks for sharing!
Rest in Peace, Pierre. You were a fine addition to a great show.
Rick Jason R.I P. Who committed suicide!!
I like him one good contribution on this show.
@@jamesrichardson3322 Sad to know I even watch his other movies. I wonder why he do that.
@@OKBAOK He probably suffering from deep depression, wasn't getting medicine 💊 or he tried to deal with on his own. I think he suffered from lack self confidence in himself through out his life.
Personal issues at home caused him commit suicide?
@@OKBAOK He was fantastic in the series, all of the cast. Combat!! Wasn't just a WWII T.V. action series, it made you think 🤔!! It was moral dilemmas, and men struggling with their personal demons, struggle of Army life and etc.
Great episode, I could only imagine having to care for a baby behind enemy lines, Favorite childhood military series , one of the reasons I joined the Army, Vic Morrow made a great squad leader , I would have made him a E-6 Staff Sgt instead of an E5 Buck Sgt, every squad leader we had in every company over 4 years was Staff Sgt E6. In my 60's and Now I understand why my dad only liked to watch the all of his old westerns which I now watch as well!
Don't ya just love the way Sarge snaps up his rifle and shoves his helmet down his forehead when he knows that his guys have just seen the big tough guy being a softie? Still, when Sarge shoves that helmet down, mess with him at your peril!
He had played it also this way in the episode THE GENERAL AND THE SERGEANT. loved that one even more.
Sarge is so macho and tough but he sure has a heart and it melted with that baby
Babies will melt your heart like a rpg to armor. I thought I was tough until I picked up my newborn son. My heart melted like a volcano.
Ironically, Vic Morrow had a dog named Macho in real life!😎
I love that the nun who takes the baby at the end says something in French, and Saunders, who doesn't know French, replies "I know you will." That's the perfect end to this story.
Scott Wright by this point, he should know a few odds and ends of French and German too for that matter.

Hard sergeant turned soft after letting go of the baby 👶.
Television sets, even black and white, were still not household commons in my country during my elementary school days. Those were the days my cousins and classmates who had TV used to tell stories about COMBAT. I got to watch very few episodes and I don't even remember which, watching them every little chance I get. Now at 70, it's good we have UA-cam and all the advances in technologies. Thanks to the tech people for the internet. Now, I've found some of my favorite episodes watching the series. This is one of them.
Sgt. has some deep emotional battles. Excellent.
great Episode,, the day to day struggles and tragedies of war...., but for a breif moment,, that baby brought some happiness into there lives.
One more great example of the acting skills of Vic Morrow. I found this episode particularly moving when I remember how Vic actually met his death in a helicopter accident on the set of "The Twilight Zone Movie." He was actually carrying two little children in his arms, a little boy, and a little boy. All three died at the scene. This was a tragic foretelling of a life taken much too soon. But thank God we still have his wonderful performances to remember on film, forever. RIP, Vic Morrow, Renee Shinn Chan, and Myca Dinh Le.
They were murdered to save a buck. Landis should be doing life. Those poor children. That poor man.
@@ellenscolnik2446
They were all paid off by Universal Studios.
Vic and the boy were instantly decapitated, the little girl survived for several minutes, nearly cut in two.
Yes he died in 1982 at age 52 . R.I. P.
I just starting watching this show I can't believe how good Combat is!!
I'm watching this again,it just hit me that VIC MORROW DIED WITH TWO CHILDREN,tears running down my face like a kid,thinking he left with two little angels,gives new meaning to this show after the fact,what a world
Ok..
Love this ... esp. because Caje has such a big part in it! :)
Military Lessons learned from COMBAT! #14) Don’t be surprised if your gruff sergeant turns out to be the most compassionate human being in the world.
Saunders proved his essential decency, caring nature, resilient spirit, and honest tough-love compassion many times in this series. I have by now watched nearly every episode here.
I once *lived in a tipi* for a week. It is one of my favorite memories of trips to Idaho 20 years ago.
Indeed he did:-)
"and I once killed a gofer with a stick" (Maj. Frank Burns, MASH 4077).
If I had a quarter for every time Saunders told Kirby to shut up.
Lol 😂 Kirby ever shuts up!!, That why he always in trouble.
LOLOL....
I own all the seasons of Combat, I love this series. This best episode in Combat, it funny hard ass stg Saunders soft at the end of the episode. I am 50 i discovered this show as a teenager my Ralph showed me the series and I was hooked.
I tried but they were unlabeled knockoffs. If you can recommend a decent distributor I would appreciate it.
@@ellenscolnik2446 You can order all the seasons of Combat on DVD 📀 at Barnes and Nobles. One of the greatest episodes in Combat.
Combat one of my favorite TV shows when I was a kid back in the 60's. I used to watch it on the weekends at around 5pm. Ahh, the good old days when life was simpler with no mobiles or PC's.
dbache it wasn't on during the weekend. It was on every Tuesday night at 7 or 8 p.m.
Oh,give him a break...the only TV show I absolutely remember when and that was StarTrek, Thursday night 8 PM because my parents allowed me to watch a show past my bedtime! @@markbeaudry2469
Don't knock it - if not for the PC wouldn't be here and able to watch Combat here and now.
@@kevinp8212 I agree, that was a long time ago. I watched it back then but don't remember what day of the week it was. The only show I remember for sure what day was Bewitched on Thursday evening.
@@kevinwilson9589 Oooooh, Elizabeth Montgomery was one of a few of my childhood crushes.
Imagine the love in the Sarges heart and the men , after seeing what they’ve saw ,and not being able to trust anything or anyone! And to be able to save something so pure ! Very touching! 🙏🏻🇺🇸

Love that baby. War is HELL on the young and the old.
Can a baby be a kraut?
At the very end, the "bonne sœur" (nun) says" don't worry, we'll take good care of him". Saunders understood the idea if not the words. Indeed, a perfect ending. Another epic épisode. Thank you for the upload.

Gracias por la publicación, son joyas de nuestra historia. El sargento Sanders inolvidable personaje.
I finally DID it! I searched ALL the episodes from the first, looking for when Kirby finally got his BAR! He was complaining about it in early episodes. He was supposed to get the BAR when their BAR man was killed around episode 8, I think. He was the ammo bearer. He knew how to service and use the weapon. They devoted a third of an episode as Kirby extolled the virtures of the Squad Automatic that surely HE would inherit. Then they dropped the issue for 10 or 15 episodes. Now, right here, at Episode 29, he "blink" appears with the BAR! Wow. My father was the BAR man during the Korean War, so this has been a "mission" for me. No explaination for the delay. He just pops up with it. Dad said that his shot so fast it was almost like a "single shot weapon" on full automatic. You could barely save any of the rounds in the 20 round magazine if you squeezed the trigger on full auto. "It cut things in half," he said. The armorer "took good care" of Dad's weapon he said. Good to know that in episode 29, Kirby finally gets his wish. Now, you guys sit back down and let me watch this masterpiece of early TV drama.
Good on you mate!
I think it's also the first episode where the Germans use an MG-42.
@@kevinwilson9589 Yeah, pretty sure you're right. I've been watching the series in order from S1E1 and noticed that too. Guess they started making enough money to get a hold of some of that hard to find equipment.
Caj is a really good soldier. Could have used a man like that in my squad in Vietnam.
Stephen Johnson
I agree..
Hora!
21:01 Give Vic Jr. a hat. LOL!! Bless your heart, Saunders, you ol' softy.
As a kid, COMBAT was my favorite TV show, hands down! Our family didn't even have a TV, used to watch the show at a neighbor's house thru their screen door! (They'd usually invite me in to watch it tho). I'll be 69 yrs old in a few days, and I still love that show!

I grew up watching the show too. Fell in love with the Sarge and Kirby. My first real 'crushes'. I never forgave the network for not bringing the guys home. We invested so much in their lives overseas, it wasn't fair that we didn't get to see if they got home okay. I grew up to be a fanfic writer. I wrote a story that brought them back to the states. Funny how life goes in a circle. lol. You'll be glad to know, Sarge got a girl who worked on the Manhatten Project. She's just perfect for him and a redhead. I always got the impression...he kinda liked redheads.
Great Vic.👍💎💎💎💎💎
Doc#, Doc#2, Billy and Kirby and Shecky Green from season 1 are the only ones still living.
The KIRBINATOR finally gets the B.A.R
Wow, Kirby managed to go an entire episode without being an arse!
Kirby is a wise ass but deep down he's a good guy, a great Soldier, and he has guts...I probably would have told him to shut the hell up to a few times....
Kirby got the STG Sanders change his mind in Kirby special way!! Running his mouth lol 🤣. Sometimes he doesn't know when shut up!!
Oops. I spelled Eric Braden’s real name wrong. It was Hans Jorge guildgast. Sorry about that. Oh and by the way Jennifer did not hate her father Vic morrow. It was a disagreement that wasn’t resolved at the time. You know how you argue with some one and nobody wants to kiss and make up. And let’s just say it was hard to do that after her father was accidentally killed by the helicopter blade. I’m sure they both still love each other very much. Hate is so close to love. And love cannot be pushed away. Combat was always an excellent show. And the actress that plays in this is an great actress❤
The bassoon again controls this episode. The background music of this series is outstanding. Cage singing to the baby is just the best
Even men melt down I have taken in 8 and adopted two in my name. There is more to life than Money ,Good men and women show their hearts by helping others and taking in the weak, the crippled and ones that need guidance in this world. I praise the Men and Women that have shown thier hearts to all.. In short May God Bless us All Amen.

Watched this growing up and dad always made us turn it down. Maybe the shooting reminded him of his WW2 days.
The good Samaritan comes to mind. They did the right thing. Interesting that the baby is German and the discussion they have.
Good story.
Nice move and touching my heart this episode
Was watching this episode thinking how I never seen this one before and then that scene with Vic Morrow carrying the baby with the explosions from the bombs going off around him and I had a chill run down my spin
Just a really outstanding episode. C'mon--if you're not a sucker for a baby, there's something wrong with you.
Agreed!!!
That is amazing, apple tree again.
The baby is so cute
