- Man comes back from armed service with bad conduct discharge; family greets him happily; girlfriend finds out and gives his engagement ring back. He is turned down for veteran's benefits. It's all downhill from there.

"Do you mean you got into trouble...On Purpose?"
I felt bad for this guy, especially when he broke down and cried. I think it was here he began to see what a bad decision he made. I do not think he is a bad man, he just did something bad without thinking through the long term consequences. Thats what i got out of this film: your actions, whether well thought out or not ALWAYS HAVE CONSEQUENCES. I think what most of us (including me) fail to ask ourselves is what might those consequences be and CAN I LIVE WITH THEM!!
So did I, and I wanted to see an ending in which he was given a chance to redeem himself.
His problem was his attitude. As an adult, his life was all about choices and consequences. This flick was made in the early 1950's, back in the salad days of a once great nation. He had more opportunities than most young people living today, and he threw them all away.
the worst of all butt-kickings, when a person kicks their own butt
10X as bad when you live in a little town where everybody knows you. Worse than a case of venereal warts.
I love watching stuff from a long time ago,its interesting learning about different times,and how much things have changed.

Blimey! I joined the Womens' Royal Air Force in 1985 and all we got told about was not getting pregnant, not catching an STD, and watching out for Russian spies. We got up to all manner of shenanigans but as long as it wasn't actually illegal the RAF turned a bit of a blind eye. Happy days!
The privileges of being a woman.
@@stevelucky7579 I spent most of my service working with just guys due to where we were based. Most of my female colleagues wanted to go to Germany (then still West Germany). It's been almost 40 years but the people from my RAF days who I'm still close to are guys from that time. We bonded because of where we were and the work we did. I had no more or less privileges than my male counterparts
Blimey?
Alice doesn't live there anymore
So was this just to shown to a group of military soldiers before Boot Camp or something? What audience was this aimed at?
This was probably aimed at young cadets and possible military dropouts. The ones who want to leave any way possible once they find out how hard the life is.
Those guys usually use bad conduct to get themselves kicked out, and this is to show that their lives back home aren't going to be as easy as they'd thought it would be.
@@onigireee yeah but I'm wondering if they just set a bunch of them in a room and made them watch it.
yes
@@TallyWackaTha2nd kind of like the Disney movie they made ALL the 5th and 6th grade girls watch while the boys got to play basketball in the gym.
Telegram guy was sure pleasant..
He could care less 😀
I wonder if alcohol figured in to some of his not wise choices?
"Would you take on a man with a BCD?"
That's a set-up question if I ever heard one.
Is that a very young Ellen Burstyn (Mary) or am I just seeing things?
don't give me that tone 12.:05 .......um wow.....
And his tone was bad the whole time Making it seem like it’s only OK for him to have a loud tone and a girl to have a low tone it’s not OK for any of them to have a high tone so if he is going to tell her to change her tone he needs to change his tone as well
Is that Ellen Burstyn? She would be 16 years old in this....

My Apologies. I forgot Three shows. The Phyliss Diller show, The Jonathan Winters Show and The Dick Clark show. And Two Country music shows. The Porter Wagoner show and The Stan Hitchcock show.
Why do I always date men like Paul? 🤦🏼♀️😑🥺
I have, too. Had a BF with a DD.
That kid is SO ANNOYING
Thats' Ellen Burnstein kissing that guy she was in Requiem for a dream w Jared Leto, how cool.👌
Usually good-looking men like this one have all doors open in the army and it's extremely difficult for those to get a BDC.
Where are your statistics on that?
Mary the girlfriend is actress Ellen Burstyn.
Wow it is her. I clicked on the video because I thought the actress looked a little like Kendall Jenner
I thought so.
Leslie Mccann well her nose and eyebrows reminded me of her so
She was known as Ellen McRea at this time
Reagan's mother from The Excersist. And a ton of other movies.
Not '48, it's '54 in the opening credits. Ellen Burstyn's the (ex) fiancee. She won the best actress Oscar,for "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore."
And Best Actress in Easy Out, 1948 or 1954?
@@denicesanders4586 She was great in The Last Picture Show. Best supporting Actress.
Recognised her from the thumbnail. Knew it definitely couldn't have been as early as 1948.
I swear this one gives me anxiety. I dont want to be in such a humiliating position. Just no!
This is a reminder to not take short cuts.
I knew of a few bad conduct and general discharges. They came to a bad end.
I knew someone who got a BCD from the Marines. That was in the 80s. Had a hell of a rough time trying to get a decent job.
@@PlasmaCoolantLeakWhy is a dishonorable discharge so bad to a public eye? They make it soynd like a felony conviction!
USMC 1964 -- 68. Boot Camp at Parris Island 3Rd Battalion. Vietnam 65 -- 66 Infantry. Well I was not madly in love with The Marine Corps butt I did not hate it and I never had any problems. And yes I am proud to have served in The United States Marines. You hear he says well I smartened up. Well as we can surely see he sure fooled his self. He can't find a job anywhere because of his BCD. And we all know that is not at all smart in any way. Now let's all remember that this is only a training film and we saw this when I was going through Boot Camp. But it is based on something that really happens. Oh by the way. The Man playing the part was an actor.
So was his fiance Mary. Her real name is Ellen Byrsen she was in The Exersicst. And I believe his Mom was a old time depression time actress.
Thank you for your service
Didn't read the description, knew something was up by him not being in uniform when he got off the train.
He could always get a job in politics.
@1:35 well damn! A-hole telegram man lol
Paul should go to the North West where he might be able to get a job as dish washer in a logging camp, but even that's a long shot. But this little film is so well put together.
Or start a youtube channel😊😊
4 months left, and he decided to go with a BCD.
Right? What an idiot.
Not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Dude couldn't wait a mere 4 months?
He ended up starting his own business so he didn't have to work for anyone.
The music sounds like its dying. Lol
😂
Much like Paul's future.
This is what happens when you force or compel people into the military who wouldn't choose it. Not everyone is cut out for a life as regimented at being in the military.
When I was in the Navy in the early 70's a guy with about 2 1/2 years left wanted out so he purposely got himself caught with pot. The punishment then was 30 days in the brig and then dishonorably discharged. He didn't care. I always wondered if regretted it later in life.
I bet he did.....
Would that have gone on his references/CV? If so, then yes.
Why can't people just tough it out and finish their time with the service?
This is for servicemen who get the 'bright idea' of getting out of the service by intentionally earning a Bad Conduct Discharge. It is well known that those who get the BCD, from damaged self esteem afterwards, drift into crime and dysfunction.
Poor Paul. He was so sexy and handsome! When he started crying I wanted to put my arms around him and tell him I'd help him find a good job somewhere, just don't be sad!
We used to be shown these films in auditorium on Friday mornings in school.
Telegrams were the text massages of the 40’s.
This was filmed in 1954.
1948 a few years after the end of the world war II
Good catch. Opening credits, left side of screen...MN-7904 1954...the uploader put the wrong year in the title.
Daniel Appel. You are absolutely correct Young Man. Now did anyone notice the 54 Buick at 20 : 46?
That looks like Ellen Burstyn
I read it is her
I read it was her
Could be her. Pre-Broadway days.
I remember one guy who got a BCD because he made a joke about how to sabotage a computer. He was on his way home within 48 hours.
"Everybody else serves his time."
Easy to say when you're exempt from the draft.
Not even applicable. The guy was a loser not taking accountability. You're exempt from having your body ruined from childbirth
@@feliznavidad6958 Last I checked, childbirth is not mandatory, so you're exempt from that too. And if women were drafted, they'd use pregnancy to get out of it.
@@palaceofwisdom9448 Yes let's all women opt of childbirth. See where that gets you. What if your mom had done that? Wouldn't be having this dumb conversation with a bitter guy whose mom wasted 9 month of her life on. Feeding a parasite that end up hating her and her sex. Men didn't want women to be drafted. They understood roles back then and this arrogant pricks role was to serve his time. Instead he got kicked out and insults the military as inferior while claiming he's smarter than everyone. I guess narcissists like hin will always have enablers like you defending his actions. Until he looks at you as inferior.
That would be called discrimination. Lawyer up Paul!
Conscription
Is that a young Ellen Burstyn as the girlfriend???
Maybe. Not in her Wikpedia credits, though.
Tessa Hallet. Yes that's her.
Its 1948 and he brought up something that happened in 1918. I can just barely try to imagine the world of 1948 when my dad was 20. I go bonkers trying to imagine what it must have been like in 1918!!!
Not that I condone bad behavior but, what happens now? This guy is just screwed for this rest of his life for a dishonorable discharge? What about when he grows older, wises up and does become a good person. Is that record going to stay with him forever?
Yes
I agree. He should of course have consequences for the bad behaviour, but they should also provide him with an option to redeem himself. Leaving him with no hope no matter what is cruel.
This is a propaganda film. Good ol' Uncle Sam trying to indoctrination people into being good little soldiers by using fear of prejudice and hopelessness. Too bad it worked all to well.
@@streetofdreams4538 the government is aces when it comes to control and fear.
Well I will admit this is a kind of depressing and sad story, butt however it is only a training film to help Our Servicemen and Women behave themselves and I hope that is what it does. Now hows about some good old Television shows from the good old Golden days of Television from the 50' and 60's ? It's time for Jamie, Pecks bad Girl, Life with Luigi, Private Secretary, Heaven for Betsy, The Bob and Ray show, The Man behind The Badge, Man against, Scotland Yard ( British ), The telltale clue, The Web, Silent Thunder, Air Power and Rescue -- 8. Now does anyone remember? I will write more later.
There’s so much great Bob + Ray on UA-cam.
Mary used the what did you say? This is not a request for you to repeat yourself. It means you just screwed up big time.
Johnny: [in a creepy voice] They're coming to get you, Barbara!
Barbara: Stop it! You're ignorant!
Johnny: They're coming for you, Barbara!
Barbara: Stop it! You're acting like a child!
Johnny: They're coming for you!
[points to the cemetery zombie]
Johnny: Look, there comes one of them now!
Barbara: He'll hear you!
Johnny: Here he comes now! I'm getting out of here!
🙃
Well that's depressing! Typical though....... merciless humans
Not to worry, this story had a happy ending. Paul "found Christ", and became a fast-buck, faith healing, prosperity pimping televangelist. 😜😜
Back then there was no internet. All Paul had to do was trash his dishonorable discharge papers. lol
Terminator X someone would have found out. The fact he didn’t qualify for veterans discounts would make it obvious.
Here in the 21st century losers get preferential treatment!
Paul reminded me of Norman Bates, his sister was a pain
Hello friends, I am from Iraq and my grandfather was born in 1941. He told me a lot about what happened in Iraq in 1960. He used to tell me that the situation was very good and life is beautiful during the era of leader Abdul Karim Qasim, but there came a group of criminals who included Saddam Hussein and their name was the Baath Party. They are criminals who kill people unjustly and he stole Iraqi oil and sent it to Jordan.
The girlfriend appears to be passing in this picture.
That kid's high pitch frantic-like voice, is so annoying. I'm like, should be seen and not heard. Lol
So many instructions to a little girl🤣. Bet she wouldn't remember the 2/4th's of ice cream. And all by her self😮
He shoulda done the Klinger thing and worn dresses.
I always wondered why Klinger was still around, despite his best efforts to get out.
It indeed is surprising that Klinger stayed the whole way, whereas the clothing conforming Radar, Frank and Trapper got to go home. Henry too, though tragedy cut him short.
I think Mary needs to get off her high horse. Especially when her brothers did the same thing a month later.
Wonder how many people with PTSD ended up with BCD
What a bunch of crap. Poor guy didn't like the destruction and loss of life and decided war was not for him. Anyone with a heart and conscience would have done the same.
Ah, no. The guy was weak and lazy. Couldn't stick to his commitment and took an easy out.
He didn't think about that before he started? He could have been a CO. Not being able to keep his head down for four more months out of two years seems like there is more to it than what he is saying. I am only halfway though.
This is so depressing…
Ellen Burstyn
Coward's believe that they don't hurt people with their own selfish decisions.

Back in the good ol' days when a group of people standing behind a line staring down the tracks at the arrival of a train for over 30 seconds is considered an "action shot."
Well, I liked it, but then, I'm one of those railfans who gets there way early so I can look around before boarding.
women's voices are deeper today.
not as lilting and musical.
hormones and pet plastics?
