Ronald Rosser earns Medal of honor after going BEAST mode. Dude clinks when he walks.
Lmfao you believe this story? "I killed thousands" lol come on. That's not how war works. Some how he went Rambo killing thousands of people lol come on
"I didn't make friends easily" Boy, I bet that was true
Can't believe all this
He sounds like that one guy in your platoon who is the glory hound and annoying to be around.
Did more than y’all ever will
I want to join the military man I’m 33 and Canadian tho I wish I was American so fugin bad man this sucks Canada is ight tho I want try move to a red state soon as I can
When he said he told his Sargent I can’t see anyway your going to stop me said it all that’s ice cold
This man is to be respected. He is a true patriot that puts his fellow soldiers first. Glad he fought for America. Thank you for your service.
Huh this guy who is lying about what he thinks he did? Naw lmfao ain't no real Rambos in reality
@jlo7770 not any more. Back then there were allot. Today's generations are trash. Scared little boys who couldn't put out half the effort of these men.
@@jlo7770How would you know you nobody? It was confirmed that he killed around 400 enemy soldiers.😂
I met this awesome man and his lovely wife in the Dayton airport back in 2008, and I was awestruck at his story. After he showed me the CMOH that he carried in his fanny pack (watershed moment for me), he leaned over close to me and said “and I would do I all again in a heartbeat”. He was truly a larger than life Soldier. God bless him and his wonderful wife.
Do you truly believe the whole story? Like just between you and I lol. You have to admit fighting off being pinned down by 12 men just to kill them all. Even if they didn't have weapons that's hard to believe but these guys had guns too lol
Yeah crazy man lol he had a guardian angel fr maybe he was a virgin di wonder if that helps? Like. Lol like your extra holy like anyway lol he said it was hard for him to make friends lol that’s why I thought maybe it had something to do with him surviving lol
@@joeholt2347 You'd be surprised with what a determined American can do
American spirit
I wonder if he's as honest as Marcus lutrell? He's a compulsive liar as well.. never seen someone who was so cool with talking about killing thousands of people... sounds like he thinks hes Rambo... and he ain't. He's a liar
Would NOT want to mess with this guy, even at his age!
Fr fr. Reminds of the abolitionist Cassius Clay he killed two home invaders around 92 years old. This dude is still dangerous no doubt. I love this man Ronald. My grandpa is MIA/KIA Feb. 4 1952. Glad they are recording them, this is worth more than I can express. We need to hear their stories.
The man's dead
He was definitely a badass for sure. And at that age probably give any untrained man a run for his money.
@@user-yr7re9oe4s his ghost would woop your ass 😂
Afraid of a guy who lies about his accomplishments? Naw ain't afraid of him. The ones you gotta be afraid of are the ones who don't talk about what they did.
That gentleman has got to be the bravest man I’ve ever seen . Awe inspiring
Lol you honestly believe his story? "I killed thousands" lol did he drop the bombs on Japan? Dudes a liar
Rosser's official Medal of Honor citation reads:
Cpl. Rosser, distinguished himself by conspicuous gallantry above and beyond the call of duty. While assaulting heavily fortified enemy hill positions, Company L, 38th Infantry Regiment, was stopped by fierce automatic-weapons, small-arms, artillery, and mortar fire. Cpl. Rosser, a forward observer, was with the lead platoon of Company L when it came under fire from 2 directions. Cpl. Rosser turned his radio over to his assistant and, disregarding the enemy fire, charged the enemy positions armed with only carbine and a grenade. At the first bunker, he silenced its occupants with a burst from his weapon. Gaining the top of the hill, he killed 2 enemy soldiers, and then went down the trench, killing 5 more as he advanced. He then hurled his grenade into a bunker and shot 2 other soldiers as they emerged. Having exhausted his ammunition, he returned through the enemy fire to obtain more ammunition and grenades and charged the hill once more. Calling on others to follow him, he assaulted 2 more enemy bunkers. Although those who attempted to join him became casualties, Cpl. Rosser once again exhausted his ammunition, obtained a new supply, and returning to the hilltop a third time hurled grenades into the enemy positions. During this heroic action Cpl. Rosser single-handedly killed at least 13 of the enemy. After exhausting his ammunition he accompanied the withdrawing platoon, and though himself wounded, made several trips across open terrain still under enemy fire to help remove other men injured more seriously than himself. This outstanding soldier's courageous and selfless devotion to duty is worthy of emulation by all men. He has contributed magnificently to the high traditions of the military service.
Outstanding report and description of his accomplishments
A very brave and amazing man.
Amazing. Was he a Marine?

This Man's Sons and Nephews are So Lucky to Be Grown and MENTORED BY A REAL AMERICAN HARD ASS... I THANKYOU FOR WHAT YOUVE DONE TO KEEP AMERICA FOR THE USA
They should make a movie about this veteran
They don’t have enough Chinese actors to play dead.
I agree! I want to read of his record.
It's the Audie Murphy story done Korean...
They should 4 real
@@fredbowles4721 same luv 2 have a drink with this man!
My grandpa was a Marine and fought in Korea. He never talked about it and he took everything to the grave. Hearing interviews like this makes it feel like I can get a small sample of what he went through over there.
I thank your Grandpa, there are way to many who no longer care, My Great uncle was an Army Ranger in Korea during the war. My father there right after, myself in 85, should we forget we will repeat! An were on a collision course now!
Man oh man ,to hear a soldier talk this way with such brutal honesty is really something ! A movie should be made about his war experiences. God Bless and RIP
Yeah you can just tell this dude kicked a ridiculous amount of asses they way he so casual about it
U actually beleive everything he said?? 1 man vs hundreds soldiers? With machine guns and theyre all missing the target but yet hes killing them all lol gtfoh! This guy is lying
He was the man that the U.S. government wanted all our boys to be. For lack of a better term he was a killing machine. Well versed in all forms of being a solider. I say that with all due respect. Also as I listen it’s respectful that he address the interviewer as “sir” every single time.
Now days men think they are women. I feel bad for the men who gave their lives just to have the country turned upside down years later.
Upbringing + military discipline/brainwashing
@@stevenfoster4066douche
I can only humbly admire a soldier who did so much more than me - a salute from all of us .Thank you sir
Its good to hear someone from a forgotten war.
I bought a DVD when I was 15 about medal of honor recipients and this man told his story there when he was much younger. I'm happy that he's been able to grow old and tell his story unlike so many others
I had the same one
I'll never forget that earlier interview, a warrior
Any idea what the dvd was? Or if the video is on UA-cam? I grew up next to Ron
@Eric-mc5to it was a documentary called metal of honor story of our nation's heroes I believe
@@Eric-mc5tosafest neighborhood in the world
The machine gunner who spared this man's life, is beyond honorable, and should be respected. I hope he survived the war.
Definitely more honorable than the guy being interviewed
@@ticket2space621 You're out of line in few ways.
Are you a U.S citizen?!
@@robr1656 oh I'm in line just fine I'm just not on my knees where you want me. I am a citizen here cause I was born here not cause I was sold a dream. Your beloved country can't give me any rights either so don't start. Most you can do is take them away. Also, this guy's the bad guy in a LOT of civilians stories so you can suck him up all you want but you're not gonna convince me of anything. why is it when someone kills people over here theyre called a terrorist? But when we do it we're heroes? Idek which video this one is. Is this the guy who killed civilians? Or the pos that said he tried to kill as many people as he can? Either way what a loser
@@robr1656 let's be honest bro I really don't care what you have to say about it. Anyone that brags about killing or talks about it like a fond memory or feels like they did it for any other reason than to save their own life is a shtbag. Save your time cousin lover go whine about how murica is so cool to someone with a low enough iq to believe it
@@ticket2space621 How so?
This is the best military interview I’ve seen. Talk about a guy with true gallantry and grit, Rosser used his grief over his little brother to literally execute the enemy with prejudice. I guess every fighting man was afraid except him!
A true warrior does not run from fear. He accepts his fate, and runs towards it.
A true wanna be Rambo. He's a fantastic story teller lol sorry but I ain't buying "I killed over a thousand people" lol what a joke
"Hit" means either shot or shrapnel..."never even saw a doctor, just took care of it myself".....HOORAH
A real story teller he is isn't he?
B s story teller that’s for sure smh
Truly an awe inspiring American legend
You are so right, look up badass ands ibbet his pic shows up. That is a amazing story
My father who died last year, fought in Korea and his unit was surrounded by the Chinese for 5 days. God bless this brave man and ALL of those who served our Nation in the Forgotten War! Vietnam vets talk about no recognition, and that was true. But Korean veterans got even less !! That is why it was called the Forgotten War !
My Dad was a Dirty Man in Korea, very Faithful to His duty. He told me several combat stories that my siblings never knew. That generation was tougher than
Hell. Thank You Dad for making Me a tough S.O.B. Love You Dad. And thanks to All tough veterans.

This man's a savage.
Wish I had the chance to sit down and talk to my grandpa's about their experience in World War II they both died before I was old enough to understand the gravity of the situation they went through
You know, I've heard a hundred vets at this point say, "If you ever meet someone who claims they were never afraid during combat, they're a liar."
But when you take in this man's story and you look in his eyes, I'll be damned if anyone thinks this man has lied about a single thing.
One in a million chance of getting through that alive. After Hearing many stories of battle. It’s when you the soldier has already come to terms with the likelihood that your not getting out of this situation alive that the fearlessness gets them through it. Amazing could make a movie out of the battle he’s talking about him ending up being the main character. Hopefully someone with a brain looks into it cause I love a good legit war movie. And this story is perfect. Not leading with it off the get go but ending with it being the main story that unfolds. Sorry just thinking out loud
This man is the biggest liar, wake up and use common sense! Yah 1 man vs 35 chinese ppl only 3 ft away and they couldnt kill him? Yet they all ran away from him or got killed. Then he runs out of ammo and goes bk down the hill while everyone shooting at him but they all miss?? He comes bk and 1 vs 200 soldiers now and he wins?? Come on man use ur head! Some ppl have a habit of lying and making stories up. I knew someone who use to talk like this but was a coward
@@jamesd2289100s of untrained rice farmers you’re right it’d be so hard.
@@jamesd2289 to receive a Medal of Honor you need eye witness statements
Thank you so so much for fighting against communists in Korean War and saving our country. As a third generation of N Korean refuge family, I grew up listening all the wartime and postwar stories, ya'll are heroes and have very special place in our hearts. And we wouldn't be here today without your help and sacrifice. God bless you.
My Uncle Homer Lawson fought in Korea commanding a sherman tank, was wounded twice and lost the hearing in his left ear. For many yrs after he had terrible nightmares the war really haunted him. I've read comments like yours a few times and it truly warms my heart.
@@warrenchambers4819 Hi Warren, thank you for your kind comment. Pls give my warm regards and respects (with many thanks) to your uncle Homer next time you talk to him. Both my maternal and paternal families are from North, so we are probably more grateful for these brave young soldiers who fought and rooted for us to the end. Because of the individual heroes like your uncle, South Korea has become what we are today and being able to achieve a lot of things, we never forget this as a fact. I hope your uncle feels proud of himself saving many lives during the war and still affecting lives of future generations after the war. I mean, if it wasn't for US and these soldiers, ppl like me and my brother wouldn't have gained any chance to study in the states in the first place if we were living under so-called communkst's democratic regime. Current Korea president is visiting US this week and our alliance is strong as ever, your uncle should feel proud of himself for playing the part from the beginning. I know Korean War was named "fogotten war" by many, but the truth is Koreans never forgot them. It just broke my heart however when you mentioned he has nightmares and post war traumas.. hope my comment could help ease his pain away a little more when you get a chance to tell him. Thanks, Warren. From Seoul, Jung.
I love this man, what a legend!!
Wow: A Military Superman: Was Col. Ronald Rosser. Born 10/24/1929 -08/26/2020 (aged 90) RIP Sir. Salute! 👍
Glad you made it home Ronald and I hope you are well. I was a first Lieutenant of Artillery Forward Observer in the central highlands of Vietnam.
I met his niece two weeks ago who told me about this man who is her uncle. I was in Korea for 31 months in the army 50 years ago. I am honored this generation fought before me.
Amazing story. Thank You
Thank you A.V.C for your quality content
Thank you for your Service & Sacrifice S.F.C. Ronald E. Rosser! Sincerely, a Combat Veteran!
This man is incredible---a true superhero. I wish all men had his courage and resolve to protect others.
This interview needs to be shown in every middle and high school. This is the kind of person worthy of celebration and respect, not Hollywood celebrities and politicians.
Thank you
Love this guy. Tough men make easy times and this man is as tough as they come.
He tells this whole story and barely even mentions it was 25 below zero. Just as a footnote. If they made a movie about all this, no one would believe it. This guy has to be the most Rambo badass I ever heard. Times ten thousand. And they made him and his family ride a Greyhound bus to the White House to receive the CMH?
To be fair, a bus was a method of transportation that was not to be despised in the 50's.
Hollywood would inject some woke sh*t in there. Unreal! Perhaps, something Eastwood would pickup.
Exactly all this. And he smiles throughout. Not an emotion wasted during the whole story. What a complete legend.
Greyhounds used to be nice to ride. Public transport was nothing like it is today.
@@Makazarx Yeah, I've rode them over 80 times between '96-2015. Every time I said I'd never do it again. But it's the only way to go if you need a ride.
This guy is hard as hell! He smiles when he talks about it. I love it!
Above and beyond the call of duty is an inadequate description of this soldier's exploits.
You mean this in a good way right?
W the lies to go w it unbelievable lol
What an absolutely incredible man. He deserves a super sized Medal Of Honor. An American hero.
He's dead so getting nothing.
This Mr. Ronald Rosser is truly a warrior. He had/has no fear
Thank you Sir, God bless you all....
I definitely wouldn't want him pissed off at me !
What a powerful story. 👍🇺🇸
This man is a born killer! But that’s what we needed him to be! Thank you Sir for carrying that burden for us, and being “good at it!”
Mr.Rosser, words cannot describe the respect I have for you and other Korean war veterans. My father was a Korean war veteran and 30years later I served there for a year. I could go on, but you said enough. I admire your courage and to say thank you is not enough
This guy is incredible. What an absolute master of war.
Served in Iraq, 2004, thank you for your service, bro! That was a real war, up close and personal! Proud to be your brother- in-arms!
Don’t discredit yourself, both of your service is valued
I was hard to distinguish the enemy in Afghanistan and I am sure that it was the same in Iraq.
@@JohnDavis-yz9nq yes. That was my biggest cause of stress. I almost killed a civilian one day, who jumped out of a car and came running toward shouting in arabic. I raised my weapon and was about to fire, but my buddy knew some Arabic, and stopped me, and said he is only asking directions. So glad I didn't have his death on my conscience! Thank you for your service, bro!
@@JohnDavis-yz9nq Yeah bro, I feel you! I got you! War is not humane.
Shame on u for killing innocent iraqi civilians who had nothing to do with 9/11 to begin with. U were lied to by israel who controls the US president/ government! Netanyahu told bush iraq had weapons of mass destruction just so they can eliminate him for israel.
"I made up my mind I was gonna kill a lot of people...which I did" HAH!
lame
Thank you sir for your brave service and our freedom. Thank you for sharing your story. Truly an American hero.
This dude is the real deal, and why America is the greatest country ever. Thanks for your service. 🇺🇸
A fascinating man to listen to , great to hear history from a soldier who made it .
Thank you, Sir, for your service! You are an amazing man!
God bless you Ron
Wow! Amazing bravery and personal fortitude!
People seem to forget this conflict...along with the men that suffered thru it.
Thank You Sir !
by far one of the best interviews ever
Dude u really b lieve his stories lol unbelievable lol
Amazing story. This man is a true example of the saying that hard times make hard men.....but wow....what a life.
Amazing warrior truly. Wow
Would make a wonderful movie thanks you your excellent service.
This man went from a paratrooper to a forward observer! I worked with a lot of forward observers. One of my good friends was an observer in the marines. To this day, forward observers have been my favorite soldier. I love those guys.
Had a chance encounter to meet SFC, USA (RET) Rosser. My partner and I spent an hour and a half just listening to what he was telling us about some of his experiences after being awarded the CMOH. He told us that after being awarded the MOH by President Truman that a young officer saluted him. He did not think much about it but, the officer told him from now on officers will be saluting him. He said that officer was Abrams. We listen intently as to what he was telling us. Our take away from the time we spent with him was that he was a very humble man and even then he still believed in taking care people. It was about 0330 in the morning when we meet SFC Rosser. Unfortunately SFC Rosser passed away at home with his family. He was buried with full Military Honors in Ohio where he was born. He was a awesome man to talk with. You listen more than you will actually talk to him. The U.S lost a Great American when he pasted away. It was a true honor to meet SFC Rosser. Being retired from the Army made it even more of a honor to speak with him.
Grew up as his neighbor in that small town, sadly as a dumb kid with more important things to do I never went back to visit after joining up myself before he passed . It was cool when our basic training unit took a trip to the national infantry museum and a DS pulled me aside and showed me the video they have of him on the machine there.
You are one Brave human thank you sir
SFC ROSSER..... YOU ARE AN AWESOME LEADER!!!!! MANY THANKS FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE FOR US ALL 💋💘💋💘💋
Thank you for your service sir
What a great interview. This is what an American is made of , make no mistake this is us folks.
“LEGEND” is a great way to describe this man
B s is another one lol
I sure like this hero soldier. Did his job as he was trained to do and never stopped doing it until his job will be over someday. Thank you for your service to America.
Basically this guy played COD multi-player in real life and never lost one game 😮
Simply incredible. Thank you.
Thank you for your service sir.
Thank you Ron! RIP
ThankYou Sir 🇺🇸
This guys deserves his own movie!
We were so blessed by this generation of brave men doing what they had to do.
What a great person, it reminds me of my grandfather, i miss him a lot, i should ask more about his korean war experience...
It was a pleasure to listen to this man ?what a pleasure I could listen to him all night
Only two kinds of people are “born to kill”. Older brothers who protect their families and psychopaths. Met a lot of psychopaths... not many “brothers”.
They sure don’t make men like this anymore. And I’m a combat bet of Iraq and Afghan. Thank you sir, you are the embodiment of a true hero
At 5:55 He's the Rodney Dangerfield of forward observers. A complete and total American badass. Thankful that he was on our side. Thank you Sir.
i was raised in the woods of arkansas my dad took me hunting one time he killed two deer he was a vet of ww2 and korea after he killed those deer he never went again he told me after you hunt men killing deer is just too easy it is amazing what men are able to do to other men what a badass this man is
RON ROSSER SHOULD WRITE A BOOK OR MAKE A MOVIE NERVES OF STEEL A TRUE HERO THANK YOU SIR FOR YOUR SERVICE GOD BLESS U FOREVER AMEN 🙏 YOUR BROTHER WAS WATCHING OVER YOU RON
One of those days….binge watchin korean war vets interviews :)
Where as I do not doubt he honorably received the medal of honor, his entire story sounds a bit exaggerated. I realize the combat was vicious, having known several wounded Korean war vets it was bad. But there are parts of his story seems too flamboyant. Corporals do not speak to colonels, generals or any officer the way he said he did. He overly grandisized himself too much. And the way he spoke of enjoying killing, not exactly normal. I am a combat vet and was wounded in action. I'm sorry if it makes anyone upset, but experience teaches you what it's really like. Maybe you'll say, well given his age and his MoH around his neck let's just overlook it. Put a thirty year old in his place, saying the same things he did, I don't think you would feel the same way.
What a great guy!
This dude is a BADASS and one of my new heroes. Hes amazing
Army training gave him supreme confidence. Fantastic.
God bless you sir
6:15 He could have shot them but instead beat 20 of them to death.... This man is every bit what I wish I was....
Yes. You seem to be offended bc this man discovered he was good at killing and he admits it. That man is a badass. I admire him. Hate on haters....hate on
You might be? Ever serve in combat??
Your devotion opens all life treasures
Grew up in the same town as this man, went to school with his grandkids, he was a great man.
Paratrooper at 17, he's no snowflake.
Nope…… The Real Deal…..!!!!
I mean really, no kids today would ever even CONSIDER, he is the definition of a badass
Best story ever
this guy won the war almost single handedly, at least to hear him tell it..
This old boy is a really, really, bad, b.s.er.
Could you do even one of the things he did????
If anybody believes all this bullshit , go see a psycho doctor fast !!!
What a savage. I'm shocked at the way he talks about it. He enjoyed his job. It sounds like he was incredibly good at it. Honestly, it's kind of chilling to think that there are men out there that can spread death so efficiently.
If I heard him correctly he said, "I was responsible for the safety of 800 men behind me, all the men in my battalion, and I took that responsibility very seriously."
'Nuff said.
@@karlroebling3316 Absolutely!
Thank You! Mr. Rosser would vote for you to run are Military... Ronold E Rosser you have a place in my heart.
One of the best interview ever this was the original Rambo
One of the better story accounts by a veteran
Thanks to all our veterans who served. Incredible story. No doubt left families in North Korea and China childless.
What a total badass, holy crap God bless America.
