Yep, I remember Sgt. Rock well. I remember when he got a battlefield commission to a shave tail and his outfit did not like it, and neither did he. So he did something to get busted back to sergeant. I also remember the time his squad was passing thru a town and there was a Kraut machine gun nest hidden in a pile of garbage. He walked by it, and as the machine gunners were waiting for the squad to catch up so they could get them all, Sgt. Rock kneeled down like to tie his boot laces. But he went for a grenade and lobbed it at the machine gun nest and took it out. I always wished I had a throwing arm like that!

Then there was Captain Johnny White Cloud who single handidly took on the entire Luftwaffe and always retured with a couple victories. All because of a cloud formation that looked like an Indian chief who led him on his missions in the Mustang.

Then also there was the tank crew who had a Stewart tank and took on the Panzers with the small 37mm gun and always won, including shooting thru a store window once to knock out a Tiger.

And there were some comic books that were about a WW1 pilot that went thru some sort of time warp and found himself in a dogfight with a Messerschmidt and he managed to out maneuver it and shoot down the Kraut. Then he went thru another time warp and found him self in a dogfight with a Mig in Korea and he was flying straight up when he shot down the Mig. Can't remember the name of that comic book, however.

But yeah, I read them all. Most of them cost 12 cents at the time and I was always borrowing the money from my folks to walk to the Greyhound Bus depot who had the best comic book selection in town to buy the latest. Sadly, they all got thrown out as I got older.

I watched Combat every week. It was somewhat neat, as one week Sgt. Saunders would be the leading actor, and the next week it was Lt. Handley. I remember the time Saunders squad had a replacement who was a farm boy. They were crossing this field with a few trees in it and the farm boy pointed out the snipers hidden in the trees, as the camoflage did not look natural. So Sgt. Saunders sprayed the tree with his Thompson and the Kraut fell out of it.

Never cared much for Rat Patrol, for some reason, so I did not watch it very often. Probably something else was on a different channel at the time it came on that got watched. I don't remember The Gallant Men, so can't comment there. But my other favorite TV show was 12 O'Clock High. Never missed an episode of that show, being that it was on late Friday nights here.
